When Oprah asked Elizabeth Lesser define spirituality, she says it is a state full of daring, free from all worry and anxiety.
Elizabeth used Michael J. Fox as an example of such courage as he says he welcomes his Parkinson's disease, and if given the choice, would choose to become ill again.
The lessons he has learned are that valuable.
Elizabeth and Oprah has focused on three topics: Death, the law of attraction and religion, and AHA experiences Oprah, Elizabeth and those who listen and watch the program has resulted in seeing the entire series Soul.
Elizabeth was the person who compiled the exercises from "A New Earth Webinar," and these can be found on the website of Oprah Winfrey.
Examples of "Awakening Exercises" that Elizabeth introduced to the public around the world:
1) Take a routine activity that normally is only a means to an end and give it your utmost attention.
Choose one or two activities you do regularly (such as washing dishes or walking from point A to point B) and bring you more attention to these.
2) Listen to the voice in your head. Ask yourself: Am I the thoughts that cross my mind?
Or am I the one who is aware that these thoughts cross my mind?
3) Be aware of your breathing. Feel the air entering and leaving your body. Feel your inner energy. Everything you need to cope and deal with real life - as opposed to imaginary mind projections, it is now.
Ask yourself what "problem you have right now, not next year, tomorrow or in five minutes."
Ask yourself: What is wrong with this moment?
In reality, the timing is perfect, but my thought which makes it less beautiful.
4) Give the waiting as a state of mind. When you find yourself slipping into waiting, get out! Come into the present moment. Just Be, and enjoy being. If you are present, there is never need to wait for you at all.
When someone says, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, you can say:" It's good. I did not wait, I wanted to have fun here. "
And so, one year for each chapter of Tolle.
Elizabeth has continued in the interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying that all humans fear and insecurity, but we all think we are the only known fear.
So much time is wasted trying to be perfect.
Elizabeth said: "The soul is the river of energy that drives who we are. When you follow this river of energy, it is almost impossible to go wrong. This flow may lead you to your own greatness, if you follow it with an open mind. "
Oprah asked Elizabeth what her "Broken Open" experience has been.
Elizabeth mentioned her divorce because of the shame and fear she felt around the experience. She felt as if she lost her financial stability and learned that what you resist, persists.
She has learned to stop fighting and judging experience, and in the process, have learned to go through it in the fullness of healing.
She learned that the divorce itself was not the problem, but the acrimony causing disharmony is that all injured players.
The greatest gift you can give your children in any divorce is to co-parent cooperatively and truly, she sai.
