• 1:11
  My name is Kathie Owen.
• 1:12
  On this channel we talk about having a growth mindset, healthy habits, fitness, and even some Reality Transurfing.
• 1:20
  And today we are talking about non-resistance from the book, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
• 1:27
  So I read this book in 2006.
• 1:33
  Long time ago.
• 1:36
  A new Earth.
• 1:37
  It's my number one.
• 1:39
  All time favorite book for a very important reason.
• 1:43
  So it's been said that when you read a book through, you change this book.
• 1:49
  Absolutely.
• 1:50
  100% hands down.
• 1:51
  Changed my life.
• 1:53
  So I read it through one time.
• 1:55
  I've read it through lots of times, as you can see by looking at my hard copy book.
• 2:00
  And recently I got the book on Audible because I knew I wanted to talk about it for several reasons.
• 2:06
  Number one, it is better than Reality Transurfing.
• 2:11
  And it discusses things more easily to understand, very similar to Reality Transurfing.
• 2:18
  And I will be doing an episode on how this book is like Reality Transurfing.
• 2:24
  But right now we're doing a four part series on this book and how it's so profound.
• 2:34
  And the most profound things I found from it.
• 2:37
  And today's episode is all about non-resistance.
• 2:40
  And the first time I heard about it and really understood it was when he talked about the Zen Master who said"Is that so?" And I did a blog post on that story because it's so freaking profound.
• 2:54
  And what I loved about it was the fact that the Zen Master was going through all of this turmoil and his response to everything was, is that so?
• 3:08
  And he didn't label things good or bad.
• 3:13
  I know it's easier said than done, but when you do that, When you come from a place of power like that, everything shifts.
• 3:22
  Everything shifts.
• 3:23
  And so today we're gonna talk about non-resistance.
• 3:27
  Yeah.
• 3:28
  Let's get into the episode.
• 3:29
  So, Are you ready to embrace a life of peace, fulfillment, and unshakable inner calm?
• 3:35
  It can happen, trust me.
• 3:38
  Let's dive into the transformative concept of non-resistance as described in the book, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
• 3:46
  This is my number one all time favorite book ever.
• 3:53
  This powerful teaching invites us to let go of our struggles and surrender to the beauty of the present moment.
• 4:00
  Tolle beautifully describes non-resistance as the key to unlocking a profound sense of peace.
• 4:06
  He states in this quote,"acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something and entirely new into this world.
• 4:17
  That peace, a subtle energy vibration is consciousness.
• 4:23
  To incorporate the practice of non resistance into your daily life.
• 4:26
  Try the following three exercises.
• 4:30
  Number one, the power of acceptance.
• 4:32
  Begin by bringing awareness to moments when you find yourself resisting the present moment.
• 4:38
  It could be a traffic jam, a disagreement with a loved one, or an unexpected change in plans.
• 4:44
  Take a deep breath and consciously choose to accept the situation as it is without judgment or resistance.
• 4:53
  Repeat the mantra.
• 4:54
  I surrender to what is.
• 4:57
  Exercise number two, embracing impermanence.
• 5:02
  Recognize that life is constantly changing and flowing instead of clinging to the past or anxiously anticipating the future.
• 5:11
  Practice being fully present in the now.
• 5:14
  Take a mindful walk in nature.
• 5:16
  Focus on the sights and sounds and sensations around you.
• 5:21
  Embrace the impermanence of each moment and find gratitude for its unique beauty.
• 5:27
  And number three, shifting perspectives.
• 5:29
  When faced with a challenging situation or a person who triggers resistance within you, pause and examine your thoughts and emotions.
• 5:38
  Consider adopting a new perspective or reframing this situation in a more positive light.
• 5:44
  Ask yourself, how can I respond to this with acceptance and love?
• 5:50
  Cultivating empathy and compassion for others can help dissolve resistance and foster harmonious relationships.
• 5:59
  As you incorporate these practices into your life.
• 6:01
  Remember the wise words of Eckhart Tolle.
• 6:04
  "Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it." Although you may not see it at the time.
• 6:12
  Embrace the lessons that come with each experience, trusting that they are opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
• 6:20
  By cultivating non-resistance, you will unlock the door to a state of deep inner peace where you can navigate life's challenges with grace and serenity.
• 6:30
  Embrace the power of non-resistance and discover the profound transformation it can bring to your life.
• 6:37
  All right, that's the end of episode number one of four, and in the next episode, we will explore the concept of the pain body and how understanding it can lead to transcending suffering and embracing a life of liberation and joy.
• 6:54
  Get ready to unravel the mysteries within you.
• 6:57
  Remember my friend, the path of non-resistance is a lifelong journey.
