		<itunes:summary>Have you been inspired by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and now feel a calling to share the transformation you have experienced. Do you feel called to help more people in their spiritual journey, to contribute to the awakening of humanity, to share a message of hope and transformation, or build a community of like-minded spiritual friends?

Are you looking for inspiration and support to go from hiding to shining by stepping into your power as a spiritual teacher, coach, healer or conscious entrepreneur?

On this recording of our November 2, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Brendon Lumgair, a spiritual teacher and entrepreneur, to talk about the journey of honoring that call from within to serve at a deeper level and share your gifts with the world.

Brendon shared for the first time his journey from reading “The Power of Now” in a College Philosophy class 10 years ago, to teaching over 25,000 people how to use Presence Power to de-stress, sleep better, and find themselves again through his websites: aNewEarth.com and AwakenedAction.com

During the course of the call we share how to:

	let your light shine publicly and stop hiding behind other teachers, gurus or false beliefs of “I’m not spiritual / enlightened enough yet… maybe when I get another certificate in (blank), then I can start”
	be in the flow with the natural evolution of becoming a Spiritual Teacher, Facilitator, Coach, Healer, or Conscious Entrepreneur
	recognize the subtle traps of Spiritual-Egoism that can sabotage your success
	respond from Presence to glorious praise and pain-body criticism
	use your website, blog and social media as a powerful vehicle for your expression and to impact people around the world like no generation could ever dream of before

Finally, here are some recommended resources mentioned during the teleseminar:

	Practicing Presence: A Guide for the Spiritual Teacher and Health Practitioner (Eckhart Tolle)
	Hosting an Eckhart Tolle Local Group
	Let Your Light Shine Online.com (Brendon&#039;s new website and service)
	Meetup.com (great website/tool for organizing local events)

We invite you to listen with an open mind, as the ego may want to shine but fiercely resist actually dong so.  We also encourage you to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of stepping into your power and letting your light shine!

Peace,

Leo &amp; Greg



About Our Guest


Brendon had a profound Awakening experience while attending a live talk with Eckhart Tolle in 2001. When he sat with Eckhart in Presence he came to know his True Self. He knew himself, life, and the world, in a whole new way.

Brendon has degrees in engineering and philosophy. He went on to work as an engineer in the corporate world for five years where he practiced presence in the work place.

Brendon’s outer purpose was revealed to him while attending a retreat with Eckhart Tolle in Costa Rica in 2004. His outer purpose is to help awaken consciousness on the planet. A key tool is utilizing the power of the internet and technology.

Brendon and a friend then started a community organization called Calgary-Satsang.com to promote and host weekend retreats with spiritual teachers from the United States, Canada and Europe.

In 2004, Brendon was asked to give satsang by Pamela Wilson. He began giving satsang and teaching meditation and yoga as part of supporting people in awakening.

Brendon took “The Leap” in 2008 by quitting his “secure” engineering career to live his life’s purpose of creating AwakenedAction.com to connect people around the world with today’s leading spiritual teachers and build a global community of Truth.

Brendon and his wife Christine now empower other conscious entrepreneurs by building them websites and providing the marketing strategies and tools they need to live their purpose and make a good living so they don’t have to go back to unconscious jobs.

Are you looking for an alternative to traditional therapy to help you deal with depression or anxiety brought on by to much thinking about the past and the future? How can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and mindfulness practices help you quiet that noisy inner dialogue so you can live a more meaningful and productive life?

On this recording of our October 5, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Dr. Ray Doktor to talk about new techniques and practices in the field of mental health and how these can support you deepen your experience of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.

Dr. Ray  is a counselor, life coach, and sexologist with a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a doctorate in clinical psychology. He has a private practice in Los Angeles and his training and education includes gestalt therapy, somatic experience, NLP, and meditation.

In our conversation, Dr. Ray talks about the characteristics of a mindful person: curious, open, non-judgemental, accepting, aware and loving.  He emphasizes that mindfulness is a lifestyle change in that it becomes who you are.

Dr. Ray also outlines the four stages of healing (27:00):

	Recognize the problem
	Start talking about it
	Energetic Shift
	Spiritual Connection

Near the end of the teleseminar (41:00), we had a listener ask Dr. Ray a question about the use of marijuana as a tool for practicing mindfulness.  Both Dr. Ray and Greg were able to reply and the exchange provided for quite an insightful segment all by itself.

Finally, here are some recommended resources mentioned during the teleseminar:

	Dr. Dan Segal
	Parenting from the Inside Out (by Dr. Siegel)
	EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
	Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (mindfulness is a core concept)

We invite you to listen with an open mind, as mental health is key to living a meaningful and fulfilling life.  We also encourage you to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of health, well-being, and spiritual growth.

Peace,

Leo &amp; Greg

		<itunes:summary>Is the health of your body a barrier to fully accessing what Eckhart Tolle calls the present moment? How can eating raw food and detoxifying the body by cleansing or fasting help you experience presence at a deeper level?



On this recording of our September 7, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Dhrumil Purohit to explore how eating more consciously and cleansing the body or fasting can support a deeper experience of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.

Dhrumil is a founding partner at the Clean Program and the Chief Community Organizer behind We Like It Raw. Dhrumil is passionate about the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and guiding people and communities through the world of holistic healing and spiritual living.

In our conversation, Dhrumil shares how he came to the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and his journey of bringing awareness to his food choices.  He talks about the fact that food is information, and how that information affects our genes and the possibility for positive and negative results.

We also talked about how food can amplify your presence and he offers a simple place to start:  green smoothie.  One goal for eating raw food, cleansing, and green smoothies is to taste what true health feels like, just like meditation allows you to sense what presence feels like.

This was a very informative interview and Dhrumil&#039;s approach is very gentle, so you are not going to be forced to believe a set way of thinking, Dhrumil is a great ambassador for eating living food and cleansing, and his tools are simply good information and a lot of inspiration!

Here are some recommended resources mentioned during the teleseminar:

	Dr. Alejandro Junger
	Dr. Frank Lipman
	Kathy Freston - Quantum Cleanse
	Donna Gates - Body Ecology

We invite you to listen with an open mind, as our food choices come from a lot of conditioning and the egoic structures that support those choices can be very rigid. We also encourage you to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of health, well-being, and spiritual growth.

Peace,
Leo &amp; Greg

		<itunes:summary>Can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle help dissolve the personal and collective gay pain-body? Is being gay a help or hindrance to spiritual awakening? Does the label “Gay” limit a deeper experience of the true essence of life?


On this recording of our August 3, 2010, teleseminar, we were joined by special guest Richard &quot;Nick&quot; Fyffe to explore what the teachings of Eckhart Tolle say about being gay, the possibilities for healing, being honest, living an authentic life, and spiritual awakening.

In our conversation, we discussed how the process of labeling people (and ourselves) in general can often lead to an overidentification with the egoic label itself.

We also talked about how the gay man, though a heightened sensitivity to difference, might in fact be closer to appreciating the different forms that are all expressions of a unified life force that bonds us all together as one.

Nick is a Peace Minister with the non-denominational, interfaith Beloved Community. As a Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking, Nick works with other gay men who find themselves in the grips of Christian fundamentalism, and especially men who are now in traditional marriages and find themselves living a lie.

This was a deeply moving interview with a ton of great insights for healing the gay pain-body and living your truth.

We invite you to listen with an open heart, and to share this conversation with all those who may benefit from its message of hope, healing, and love.

Peace,
Leo &amp; Greg

About Our Guest
Richard “Nick” Fyffe, Peace Minister, likes nothing more than regarding himself as a “regular Joe”….”I find it more and more “extraordinary” to be “ordinary”….How liberating it is to “come without credentials” without the labels that one imposes on oneself or the labels society loves to put in place”.



Just a bit about Nick. Nick is from Ohio but has lived in Arizona for 6 years with his partner Brian. They have been together 10 years.

After graduating high school, Nick married very young at age 18, and soon after had 2 sons. When he was “outed” as a gay, he divorced at age 23. Years and decades of self-judgment, family rejection and the loss of visitation with his sons, depression deepened and manifested in a self-induced Christian fundamentalist mindset. The combination of being gay and Christian launched him into a deep spiritual quest for relief from his depression. During this time Nick was engrossed in his working career of nearly 30 years with AT&amp;T.

Then came along Eckhart Tolle…..life changed…quickly at first, then some back sliding and little by little things started shifting. “I’ve allowed the thought (forms) of others to manage my entire life…and worse yet…I adopted them as my own”…..an intense study of Eckhart’s teachings followed, along with the teachings of Krishnamurt, one of Echhart’s often quoted spiritual teachers.

This brings us to the present period when Nick was recently ordained as a “Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking” or “Peace Minister” after completion of seminary studies with the “Beloved Community Seminary” (a non-denominations interfaith seminary). Nick’s Peace Ministry has been focusing primarily on working with other gay men, who find themselves in the grips of Christian fundamentalism and especially men who are now in traditional marriages and find themselves living a lie. Those who married because their religion told them to do so or they followed societies traditional “Thinking”….JUST LIKE NICK DID.

Nick can be reached at nickfyffe (at) aol.com.

Update:  Here is part 1 of a presentation tapped at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore with special guests Nick Fyffe and Peter Bedard of www.CreateYourHealth.com.

		<itunes:summary>Are you suffering from an addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, or eating? How can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle help support you? How can you find the spiritual path to recovery? On this recording of our March 2, 2010, teleseminar, we discuss addiction and recovery with special guest Peter Marinelli.



In this conscious conversation about addiction and recovery,  Peter shares from a deep place of experience and wisdom how the Twelve Step Program and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle have helped and inspired him to find a deeply spiritual path to recovery. It is evident he &quot;walks the talk&quot; when it comes to practicing spiritual disciplines for cultivating permanent sobriety.

Peter shares stories about his own process of recovery.  He explains how seeking information is not enough. Rather, it is seeking an experience with the information, and seeking an experience with the God of your understanding, that leads to inner transformation.

Peter is very versed with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and the power of discovering silence, stillness, presence, and the now for growing spiritually. This interview has generated a lot of buzz and we highly recommend making some space in your life to take a listen!

Peace,

Leo &amp; Greg



Now for more on our guest:

		<itunes:summary>What is the purpose of your relationship? Do you have a purposeful relationship that provides &quot;space&quot; for you and your partner to grow in Presence Power? In this recording of our Dec 1 Teleseminar, we discuss how Eckhart Tolle&#039;s teachings can help us understand romantic relationships as a powerful catalyst for spiritual transformation.


What is the purpose of your relationship? Do you have a purposeful relationship that provides &quot;space&quot; for you and your partner to grow in Presence Power? Are you providing support that nurtures your partner&#039;s inner and outer purpose? What does the support you need look like for you?

This is the recording of our December 1, 2009 Living With Tolle Teleseminar call with special guests Brendon and Christine Lumgair from www.AwakenedAction.com, and Greg&#039;s wife, Dr. Sarah Larsen.

On page 133 of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shares how transformative relationships can be:
“When your partner behaves unconsciously, relinquish all judgment... To relinquish all judgment does not mean that you do not recognize dysfunction and unconsciousness when you see it. It means &quot;being the knowing&quot; rather than &quot;being the reaction&quot; and the judge... Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and all people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists.”
Are you able to &quot;be in the knowing&quot; and relinquish all judgment about your partner? Are you able to just be present and offer them &quot;a clear space of loving presence&quot;?

All of this and more on this recording of our December 1st Teleseminar.

		<itunes:summary>On this episode of Living with Tolle we talk about “Work” and how to apply the teachings of Eckhart Tolle towards a more fulfilling relationship with our jobs. We examine how acceptance, our state of presence, and our sense of purpose can guide us in answering that nagging question “what am I doing here at this job?”

This episode was inspired by a question posted by a listener through our comments section. If you’d like to ask questions or share your thoughts and experiences, please write us a brief comment in the section below.




Key Highlights From Our Conversation:
 

How to practice presence at work - especially when faced with the complex issues that may arise in a work environment.

The best approach is from a state of acceptance. We are not talking about being resigned or depressed, but in a dynamic state of openness that enables new ideas to flow and the energy to put them into action

How to truly shift your attitude at work and about your job.

Have you made choices in the past to embrace a new approach to your boss, co-workers, projects or tasks? How did it go for you? Since work can trigger strong feelings around primal emotions such as security, work can be an environment that fosters reactivity. Indeed, our work environment can sometimes feel like a trap where we may feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled. So, will an intellectual &quot;attitude&quot; shift suffice? Or is a deeper shift required to align your work life with your life’s purpose?

To authentically shift how you relate to the various aspects of your work, you must cultivate your state of presence.

What is your life’s purpose? And once you find it, what do you do about your job? What is the best way to approach making a career change or job advancement?

Instead of being fixed on what you want to do (a sign your goal may be ego based) approach your through hold in a state of inquiry. Instead of demanding your career should give you this or that, it is better to be in a constant state of inquiry.

Ask yourself this question: How is Life calling me to serve? How can I serve by sharing my unique gifts and talents? These questions will shift your approach to daily life from one of resistance to one of discovery, service, and fulfillment.

If you already have a vision or goal for the future, but resist where you are at now, how does that resistance serve your expansion, evolution, or emergence?

Honoring the present moment is what enables the greater vision to unfold with greater creativity and less stress. The only reality is the present moment, and honoring the present moment through complete acceptance frees up space in the head for ideas to flow freely and frees up energy in the body to put those ideas into action. In this state of acceptance and presence, you will be able to creatively assess your daily life, your role at work, and the opportunities for change.



As always, we invite listeners to send us questions and feedback, to share their experiences, and to suggest topics for future episodes.
Use the section below to add your comments.

Till next time,
Peace.</itunes:summary>
