We discuss how to trust your intuition to help inspire your decision-making process in everyday life situations. Key Insights From Our Conversation: We begin the conversations exploring how the question “how am I being called to serve?” can be answered through "intuitive knowing," a process in which we listen to our intuition. Typically, with that answer comes a sense of expansion and a positive feeling. But soon we begin to hear the voice of the ego that second guesses our own intuition with words like: “you could never do that,” or “you don’t have enough money to do that.” This can thwart or challenge your intuitive sense around how you're being called to serve. So, is the guidance you are hearing that of your intuition or that of your ego? A good way to know this is to sense how the thought makes you feel. Do you feel expansive, positive, creative, or do you feel constricted, contracted and closed off to your creativity. Remember, the goal of the ego and pain body is to thwart your intuition if it does not feed the ego! Leo shares his experience at a recent meeting at work, how intuition was guiding his decision to participate, and the energy that kept him from contributing – the energy of internal doubt. Once he was able to let his intuition speak, there was an expansion of his ideas and the ideas in the room. How do you foster and nurture intuition? Greg shares a key insight from the works of Tolle – the body is a portal into the now. Unlike your mind, which can project a phantom self into the past and future, your body is completely grounded in the present moment. You body is fully anchored in the now. The key is to give your conscious attention, or your energy, to your body – instead of allowing you energy to be consumed in thoughts about the past and future. A fundamental practice is to give you attention to what Tolle describes as your “inner-body.” This spiritual practicing involves tuning into the inner energy field of the body and sensing an inner tingling sensation, or inner “aliveness.” (There is a video on the website that will guide you in the process of connecting to the inner body.) Intuition is a response of the body, the intelligence of the body and how it perceives the energy of another person, along with what is being spoken. The body interprets the vibration and the information. So trusting your intuition is really a process of trusting the intelligence of the body, even though the ego is generating thoughts that are second guessing your intuitive responses. The ego is trying to protect itself, and your intuition can be a threat to the ego. Awareness of your thoughts is key. A great practice to determine the source of your thoughts, whether your intuition or ego, is to ask the questions: what is the nature and quality of these thoughts. If they are expansive, foster creativity, connection and service, it would be a good guess they are coming from your intuition. If your thoughts are contractive, selfish, constrictive, fearful or limiting, they are probably emerging from the ego.  What experience are your thoughts creating? How can your intuition guide your productivity? Greg shares that with all the information coming at us in today’s world, using your intuition to evaluate the “value” of the information coming across your awareness will be an invaluable tool for increasing your personal productivity. In the past, you may have been able to look at each piece of information and analyze it, to really digest the information, but now there is just too much. It is far more effective to use your intuition to sense the value of what you are doing right now, and also how those actions resonate with how you are being called to serve. Greg also shares how your intuition can be of value in your dealings with clients. By sensing the state of your client, L. Aristimuno and G.

On this episode of Living with Tolle we talk about the pain-body, a powerful spiritual insight Eckhart Tolle first introduced in The Power of Now. We explore how the pain-body manifests in life and strategies for dealing with the short term and long term effects. What is the Pain-Body? The pain-body has been described by Eckhart Tolle as past emotional pain alive in your life today. The pain-body is a living entity or energy field that is attached to the authentic expression of your life. As such, it can be described as a parasitic energy field engorging itself on your life energy. Think of a tapeworm: it releases a chemical in the body that makes you crave food that feeds and engorges the parasite, but is actually bad for you. "The pain-body is a semi-autonomous energy-form that lives within most human beings, an entity made up of emotion.  It has its own primitive intelligence, not unlike a cunning animal, and its intelligence is directed primarily at survival. ~ Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth But the pain-body is not just a personal problem. The pain-body is a collective phenomenon. The pain-body is transferred to the individual through social and cultural conditioning. You experience the collective pain-body on a personal level and through the many ways it can manifest in your life. In fact, the collective pain-body survives through individuals remaining unconscious and contributing “pain” from personal experiences. Eckhart has stated that your greatest responsibility is to personally cleanse yourself of the pain-body, so you no longer add to the collective pain-body. Why is acceptance such a powerful spiritual practice in dealing with the pain-body? The pain-body has two states: active and dormant. When it is active, it is a sign that you are not conscious enough to keep from reacting to life from the pain. And even though it may be uncomfortable and counterintuitive, when the pain-body is active the only constructive response is to be in acceptance of what is happening in this moment. "The beginning of freedom from the pain-body lies first of all in the realization that you have a pain-body.  Then, more important, in your ability to stay present enough, alert enough, to notice the pain-body in yourself as a heavy influx of negative emotion when it becomes active.  When it is recognized, it can no longer pretend to be you and live and renew itself through you." ~ Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth If you enjoyed this podcast, you can share it with friends.

In short, daily life kicks in and overwhelms him. He describes a sense of “falling off the wagon,” specifically around his inability to feel present, to practice acceptance, and to connect with others in daily life, especially around his work life. Lack of time, work obligations, lack of joy all led him to a feeling of disillusionment with the spiritual teachings he’s been exploring. Even though intellectually the teachings make sense and have led him to a sense of awakening and greater presence, this “down” episode fundamentally challenges all he’s been working towards. He describes it as a feeling of having to go back and starting from the beginning. Greg points to the pain-body as a way to explain Leo’s situation. Thus begins a great conversation about the role of the pain-body on both a personal and a collective level and on the importance of acceptance as a powerful spiritual practice for dealing with the pain-body. (16:00) Many times people complain about the pain-body and don’t want it to come up. This is the ego complaining about the pain-body, but the energy of the complaint is what feeds the pain-body itself! So you have to go back to step one, which is acceptance. The best response is to be in acceptance when the pain-body is active, Larsen and Aristimuno no 30:43 http://livingwithtolle.com/articles/lwt26-power-of-now-in-mental-health-interview-with-dr-ray-doktor-tolle/ http://livingwithtolle.com/articles/lwt26-power-of-now-in-mental-health-interview-with-dr-ray-doktor-tolle/#comments Tue, 26 Oct 2010 04:59:29 +0000 Greg http://livingwithtolle.com/?p=2452 http://livingwithtolle.com/articles/lwt26-power-of-now-in-mental-health-interview-with-dr-ray-doktor-tolle/feed/ 2 The Power of Now, Mental Health, Dr. Ray Doktor, Eckhart Tolle Is your mental health blocking you from fully accessing what Eckhart Tolle calls the power of now?

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 "Nick" 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 & 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&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.

How can the teachings of Eckhart Tolle help us understand our relationship to the economy and to our individual economic situation? We discuss ways of dealing with the current economic situation using awareness and presence. Key Insights From This Episode: How you approach your situation from a state of presence will depend on the level of presence you were cultivating before this situation came to you. Use awareness, be the silent watcher, watch and question your thoughts, do not let them control you. Witness how your pain body is activated, how your deepest fears are agitated, and how you are reacting to the economic situation around you. Cultivate acceptance to foster a more conscious decision making process as you face economic hardships. From this state of acceptance, not resistance, you can interact with your life situation dynamically and will be open to discovering new ways in which life is calling you to serve. We have an opportunity to look at our deeper purpose in life. Be aware of how your sense of ego or your "economic self" is shaping the ways you face your current situation. Realize that you are not your life stories, or the past, or the future, or your home, or your career, or your economic situation. Look beyond your individual sense of self. Look beyond our collective definitions of who we are - they are temporary (and unsustainable). Connect to a deeper level of life and move beyond the thoughts and stories of your ego. You are life itself. Life expressed in form. There is no lack in life force. The one Source of Life that is never ending, never depleting, never in a recession. It is ever-flowing.

Check out the "finances & family" category for great practical tips. Questions for deeper reflection: 1. As I face the new economic landscape before me, how can I practice acceptance? How can I use my economic situation to cultivate awareness? 2. How can I play with form? How can I re-invent myself? How can I explore this world of forms differently? How can I connect with my family, with my community, with other forms around me? How can I be a better friend? 3. Who am I? What am I? What happens once I realize that I am not my life stories, but that I am Life itself? Let us know what you think.
