Guardians of Being,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Guardians Of Being (Hardcover)
We could learn a lot from our pets. Cats can spend hours perfectly relaxed in the warmth of a beam of light. Dogs are always fully present when they play. Cats and dogs live in the moment and are always fully present. They don't doubt themselves or question their value. It is for this reason that they are the Guardians of Being.Guardians of Being is written by Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth. His words are then accompanied by illustrations by Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell. It's a wonderful combination, creating a comic book look with real meaning. No doubt readers will find a variety of pages that resonate and inspire them.

This review is from: Guardians Of Being (Hardcover)
This delightful book of purity and innocence is a stunning revelation of the gift of Presence that our pets bring to our lives. The reader is given the priceless key to present moment awareness, and never again will be left without direct guidance to awaken from the stress and distraction of the busy mind.Eckhart Tolle's insightful commentary and the delightful artwork of Patrick McDonnell deliver conscious awareness of the Power of Now. This is the profound state of grace that the animals live in naturally, and when we recognize Presence in the eyes of our pets, we find it in ourselves. Guardians of Being is a gateway to the Heart of Being....NOW.

Do you have any neurotic and obsessive friends?,
By Astrochik "Astrochik" (Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guardians Of Being (Hardcover)
What about you? Do you niggle over the fifteen pounds you gain and lose, gain and lose every year? What about harangue your friends about the state of the economy or the evils of eating red meat or what your boss is up to or that dastardly blind date you had ten years ago or kids these days or the military/industrial complex...?READ THIS BOOK. It will calm you down. Surrounded by Virgos? Buy the book in bulk. Give it when they're fretting about their underwear drawers or the way you tuck your feet up under your butt when you're on their sofa. (They hate that, btw.) And buy a puppy or a kitten. You'll cheer up. Seriously.
