Resist Nothing
Kim Eng, Eckhart Tolle
2012
No Judgment, No Resistance - the Path to Liberation from the Pain-Body
Why do our negative experiences seem to stay with us so persistently? It is because they are the fuel for what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain-body, an energetic field that actually feeds on toxic thoughts and emotions. Liberation from the pain-body is not about repressing or denying our thoughts. Instead, as Eckhart's teaching partner Kim Eng reveals, we must develop a complete receptiveness to all experience - rejecting nothing, judging nothing, and resisting nothing.
On Resist Nothing, Eckhart and his teaching partner Kim Eng present essential wisdom and practices for dissolving the pain-body. Beginning with a 30-minute exploration by Eckhart into the nature of the pain-body, you will then learn five of Kim's most effective guided meditations and on-the-spot practices for clearing blockages, releasing unhealthy attachments, and becoming fully present in any situation. Join them to learn:
-- How the pain-body arises, what fuels it, and its role in the process of awakening
-- Healing at the physical, emotional, and subtle levels - guided meditations from Kim Eng for relieving suffering with spacious awareness
-- The Pointing Exercise - a key practice for dissolving our identification with the pain-body
Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng teach that when we view the pain-body as a reminder to become more present, it can become a powerful ally in our awakening. With Resist Nothing, they offer an illuminating and practical program on one of the most important steps we can take on the journey to spiritual awakening.

Eternal Growth
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
A passion for information can overtake your heart and mind today, compelling you to begin a casual, self-directed journey of education. In general, you may feel liberally-minded or simply curious as you immerse yourself in books, lectures, or classes covering topics that are foreign to your range of experience. The discoveries you subsequently make, however, can touch you deeply and awaken a fervent desire for wisdom in your soul. You will likely begin applying yourself more diligently to those activities that enable you to broaden your horizons and seek out new opportunities to demonstrate your intellectual prowess. By choosing to incorporate education into your adult life today, you may begin a lasting journey of knowledge and individual expansion.
We can make certain that we never stop evolving as the years wear on by becoming lifelong learners, dedicated to discovering wisdom in both the mundane and the unusual. Few people realize that knowledge can be found in almost every situation, provided one is willing to ask questions and immerse oneself in a multitude of fine details that may or may not prove to be important. When we accept that learning can be as enriching and enjoyable as it is laborious and oftentimes tedious, we become more apt to apply ourselves to study as we are more cognizant of the potential rewards. As we absorb a wider array of knowledge, new questions present themselves to us and the cycle of learning begins anew, forevermore. Your passion for wisdom will help you discern unique educational opportunities today.

Goals
A Concrete Dream
by Madisyn Taylor
It is vital to take action on your goals in life rather than just daydreaming about them.
Our desires act as fuel, propelling us toward new horizons. Without something to strive for, we stagnate and become stuck in ruts of our own making because we are unsure of what to do next. Goals are the dreams that we are willing to work for. When we set goals, we take responsibility for our lives and choose to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to our aspirations. Even if we only take the smallest steps toward achieving our ambitions, it is vital that we actively pursue our goals rather than just daydreaming about them. Having goals makes us feel good because it adds a sense of purpose and direction to our lives.
When you endeavor to achieve clear and quantifiable goals, your choices and actions take on new significance. Consciously creating your goals can help ensure that the success you seek is attainable and serves you. Your plan must be conceivable, tangible, and measurable. If you cannot visualize your goal in great detail or believe that you can realize them, you may find it difficult to commit to your goals and take the necessary steps to achieve them. Make sure that your goals have the potential to be emotionally satisfying. You may even want to write them down. Putting your goals into words can keep your intention fresh in your mind and remind you of your purpose. As you make progress toward realizing your goals, give yourself a reward each time you take a step forward so that you have the incentive to keep going. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, examine ways in which you can revise your strategy so that your plan can work.
In creating goals, you create your future by outlining your destiny. When you choose your goals using your head and heart, you take the first step in manifesting what you want. You grant your own wishes every time you achieve another goal.
