    Oh I cant get enough of Tolle's teachings about "practicing the now". I've only watched the first part of this interview and I've come away with something beautiful.

    He talks of how practicing the power of now can empower our relationships because we learn to be the space for others to be.
    By learning to be consciously present in the now we let others be as we allow and accept them as they are in the present moment, without labeling them, judging them, trying to change them, without being lost in our heads preparing what we are going to say next or impatiently waiting to get a word in.

    I've been able to do this a couple of times...shutting off my thought processes when I'm with others and choosing to consciously be part of their experience, and I've found that people have reacted by being more open with me. I'm only scared that this more serene person is a far cry from the noisy chatty person I usually am...and maybe a tad more boring?

    But I like allowing others to be and not perceiving them through the mental noise of all my pointless thoughts...it feels true and loving.
