How The Sedona Method Gets You to Where Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" Notes You Want

Hello,

Eckhart Tolle's newest book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's True Purpose, is gaining national attention because people like you are ready for a change. Ready to dissolve your belief in the ego, and break free from its mindset of limitation and lack.

The central premise, which is completely in alignment with the teachings of The Sedona Method, is that you can recognize that yourego,is not your true self and that belief in it being who you are only causes suffering. It s necessary to bring your ego and all of its limited beliefs into your awareness, so that you can dissolve this illusion. This makes living in the now. much more natural and spontaneous. Many of us have spent a lot of our time living in the past or worrying about the future. Dissolving the identification with ego helps us to discover that what we are is already here now, with all its joy and power.

“The Now is all there is,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of training of Sedona Training Associates. “In this moment if you look into your direct experience you will discover that there may be thoughts about the past or the future. However, if you look at what is actually here you will discover that even these thoughts only happen now. In fact, all life -- all action -- only happens now.”
“If you are not sure,” he continues, “try and do something yesterday or tomorrow right now. Try to actually live in the past or the future. You will discover that this is not possible and only cuts you off from experiencing what is here now. So you can relax. What you are is already here now resting and flowing as life itself.”

Living in the Now Sets You Free

Imagine not having to fret over tomorrow's deadline or yesterday's mistakes. Think for a second just how much time you waste worrying about things you cannot do anything about in this moment. These thoughts are dragging you down; they appear to be keeping you from inner peace.

“We live in a society where almost all thought is about changing the past or controlling the future,” Dwoskin says.

But why spend all of this emotional energy on timeframes that you can’t change? The only time you can do anything about anything is NOW. This, of course, does not mean you should never plan for the future, or think about a past memory. What it means is that it is better to devote more of your energy -- and most of your interest -- to what’s happening right now.

This Moment is All You Have

Many of us have a tendency to rush through our days while we “wait” to have our good times on the weekends or during a holiday. Yet, when the weekend finally comes, we often spend it worrying about work on Monday or feeling stressed about getting our errands done. So you see, when you are caught up in living for any other time than right now, you end up NOT TRULY LIVING at all. You spend all your time waiting, and wishing, while your life appears to be passing you by, one ticking second at a time.

Poet Gwendolyn Brooks had a great understanding of this concept, as her work expresses:
Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies.

And be it gash or gold it will not come
Again in this identical disguise.

This is really what living in the now is all about. Appreciating every moment, and LIVING every moment, whatever label we may attribute to it good or bad.

How to Live in the Now

If you have read A New Earth and are eager to apply its concepts, or if you simply want to experience the joy of living in the now, The Sedona Method is the tool to make this happen in your life.

“The Sedona Method is a tool you can use now to let go of the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and identities that cause you to look away from what is here now to find what you are, and to have, be and do what you desire,” Dwoskin says.

Every time you use The Sedona Method you lessen the power of what Tolle calls “ego” and the “pain body,” which The Method simply refers to as the thoughts, sensations and emotions generated by subconscious programming.

“As you learn to simply let go, each time you do, you find yourself more aware of the presence or awareness that is always here now,” Dwoskin says. “Your senses become more acute and you can look into and trust your own intuitive knowingness for your source of wisdom instead of the thoughts in your mind which are always based on what was and what might be. You also find that you respond more appropriately and live life more fully, joyously and openly.”

Allow yourself to stop living your life based on what was or what might be, and begin to embrace this moment, the one that is living through you right now.
