Thank you for responding Mary. Though I am curious to what type of verification process you have for the above. Dr.John M. La Tourrette Ps. I really do NOT think that he is a cancer to the mind, but I do think that what he says is total fluff. That was said to stimulate to action some of the ones that read but say nothing. Dumping on their guru will usually cause them to respond. Now a real Water element will take up to a month to think about it, before responding. You only took minutes.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I can give my experience of what happened. There was a very kinesthetic exchange of energy with this woman that I did not know and it was a great feeling. Verification? I did what Eckhart recommended. He can not, and would not do it for me. I must put in some effort myself better known on this group as doing the drills. I put in some effort to being more than OK with being stopped at the red light and did a mental welcoming to the woman crossing the street in front of me. That was when she turned and smiled at me. The exchange was tangible and felt great. I revisit that feeling again as I am writing this post. It is powerful. I could not see the energy or explain it when you transferred some of Walter's energy to me in the first intensive I took with you. I COULD feel something even if I could not put words to what I felt and it also felt amazing and great.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've been listening to the mp3's of the skypecasts too - and playing catch-up on reading the book. I've tried some of the drills ... First, I notice the unproductive streams of thought in my head much more now; and, with vigilance and awareness, I can shut them down quickly. This is not just a stress reducer - I find it significantly helps with the RV/RI conditioning cycles Second, I use the drill to focus on breathing and the energetic body. Like Mary, I do it at red lights too - and there are a fair few on my way to and from work. I've found that both this also reduces my stress levels. That's great - my blood pressure is high- normal and that's too high for me. Third, Eckhart recommends that when you are with another person who locked into their pain body (worrying or complaining over and over again about the same old stuff), you should be present for them but refuse to feed the pain body. That has been quick to work and very powerful for me with a couple of people. When I did this, they were not able to maintain their negativity. That was great.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Dan, Give it a test run and find out for yourself. Telling carries so much less power than the actual experience. My mind fights being present and squirms away pretty fast. I suspect the minds of most others are in a similar ballpark. Start with small things like red lights first.

Which is funny, especially since the people who read Time magazine are the movers and shakers in the world. I've curious to how many really " roll up their sleeves and get to work " people like that book? I know that I can take about a page or two then I've got to put it down. It's one of those books that you wished were true, but you know it your heart that it's not. It belongs with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Something that we can all enjoy, but we know are just excuses for giving and loving. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
