Eckhart Tolle (Author, Reader)

Book Description

Release date: September 1, 2003 | Series: Inner Life

A Life-Changing New Audiobook From The Author Of The New York Times Bestseller, The Power Of Now.

In this original audiobook, bestselling author Eckhart Tolle continues to teach us how to let go of the past and future to live in the now. Tolle urges to shed our mind-based sense of self, enter the portals of the eternal present, and live vividly in the present moment.

He guides us through these gateways: The Gateway of the Inner Body; The gateway of Silence; and The Gateway of Accepting This Moment. By moving through these openings, we will let the power of now transform our lives and achieve spiritual and psychological enlightenment.

Gateways to Now includes a Musical Reflection CD which offers quiet contemplation time -- a chance to acquire a reflective anchor that intensifies the integration of the listening experience into our lives. This Musical Reflection CD features Resonance by Jorge Alfano's World Ensemble. Drawing from South America, Africa, Tibet, Japan and Spain this ensemble creates universal music that crosses all borders and musical styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly Transformative April 18, 2004

By Barbara Rose VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD

Gateway to NOW is a profoundly transformative audio version of Eckhart Tolle's teachings that will help you release the past, the drama, fears, uncertainty, and need for future events to happen in order for you to find peace within.

The music is soothing, and brings you the opportunity for inner contemplation and absorption of the teachings so you can fully integrate them.

I find the teachings of Eckhart Tolle to be profoundly beneficial, and listening to his voice helps the messages sink in deeper, as he stresses certain words in his own style. By moving through the "Gateway" and genuinely taking in what he says, you are well guided to uncovering and bringing out from within you the peace and joy you deserve. HIGHLY Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gateways to Now (Inner Life Series) September 5, 2005

Eckhart Tolle is my most recent mind bending discovery for life changes. He is wonderful to listen to. His voice is soothing and such a joy to learn to, along with his wit, which is simply infectious. I listen to this CD in the car on my way to work and his tips about being present translate throughout my day into a more productive work experience. I have even learned to look at the traffic on the interstate in a different light....imagine that!! :-))

5.0 out of 5 stars Music a no-go December 31, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

As always, I loved listening to Eckhart. The guided "Gateways" are great but I feel the music was awful. I found it to be very irritating. I am sure I will not listen to the second CD that has the music on it again. There is music here and there on the first CD too and it would have been better had it been left out.
