Publisher's Summary

All you really need to do is accept the moment fully. You are then at ease in the here and now and at ease with yourself.  

Throughout the spiritual classic The Power of Now are specific practices and clear keys that show us how to discover for ourselves the 'grace, ease, and lightness' that comes when we simply quiet our thoughts and see the world before us in the present moment.

Practicing the Power of Now is a carefully arranged series of excerpts from the The Power of Now that directly gives us those exercises and keys. Return to those words, reflect on the words, reflect even on the space between the words and - maybe over time, maybe immediately - you'll discover something of life-changing significance.

Repetitive

So disappointed. It's just a short version of the amazing book "The Power of Now" that will cost you extra amount. I strongly recommend the full version "The Power of Now"as it leads you gradually and perfectly to the point. I just don't understand what is the point of releasing a shorter version of the main book without clearly notifying the customer

Still a huge fan of Eckhart.

Eye Opener

The techniques presented in this book work! To be able to settle the mind and have instruction on how to do so is invaluable in today's stressed out and high tension world.

Yes

Immediate relief after a few minutes. Must listen again. Listened to it all at once. Will go chapter by chapter next time to let each one sink in fully.

A Must Have Book

A book to go back to often to help re-center our busy selves to a more grounded, meaningful life. This is a reminder that we are all a part of something so much greater than ourselves.

Duplicate

This book is basically the same as the power of the now except that it’s not in question and answer format it’s straight dictation it’s not bad but I already read power of now so it’s all a repeat

Excellent Refresher

I listened to the Power of Now and found it wonderfully valuable. However, at 7 hours long, it's tough to use for reviewing the key lessons.

Practicing the Power of Now is more condensed and bite-sized. You can listen in 10-15 minute chunks and get real value. Or, listen to the entire book at once and get a complete reset.

I wouldn't buy this unless you've read or listened to the Power of Now, because you need to understand and believe the theories so well explained in that book. As a refesher, however, I found it very, very helpful, and more than worth the purchase price.

Realizing the Power

This is an excellent audiobook. It is repetitious, yes from the Power of Now but he the more you listen to it and don't try to figure it out, you will understand what he is trying to convey to you by just listening with and open mind. If you DO NOT have deep sorrow or need to find how to control your mind and seT your mind at peace then this book is not for you. It is to be listened to and listened to and then it all comes together. Little by little the words are consoling, and enlightening. I would recommend getting POWER OR NOW first and then listening to this book.

Stillness and inner peace!!!

This book is transforming, was on my second round with Power of Now, but this book puts it in a condensed sections of where it breaks it down to meaningful sessions that are provoking. The exercises he has you do help you to be still and reach inside to your inner body and helps you to let go of the thinking pattern going on. each session I am able to reach more of more of awakening! I find myself going hours of the Non thinking mind if I am not working. It is very refreshing and brings peace and calm in your every day life. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to be free from negative and bad behaviors, such as depression, anxiety, moodiness, all sorts of illnesses. I was in a state of deep depression when I started my journey and now I no longer identify myself by my past or from what others think of me, that is none of my business! Its great to have that freedom! it has even made changes to our lovely cat Buddy. he is much calmer and more affectionate around me.

Power of Now w/o the Q&A

What made the experience of listening to Practicing the Power of Now the most enjoyable?

Eckhart Tolle is the absolutely best of his kind, followed by Alan Watts and Ram Dass.

Have you listened to any of Eckhart Tolle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The Power of Now is the culmination of all of Tolle's works. I've read them all, and this one seems to distill the essence of his teaching. It's priceless.

Despite some apprehension, really liked this.

I'm not a new-age kind of guy, but I really liked this audiobook. The ideas are very interesting and even life-changing. It is really worth your time to listen to this book.

And forgive the author for his occasional use of new-age sounding terms; his message and the concepts seem very solid notwithstanding.

Powerful and entertaining

Something about the way Tolle expresses himself is so entertaining. He gets his point across by asking simple questions with obvious answers that bring to light the nonsensical ways in which we think. This book truly enriched my life, introducing me to my own life using explanations so entertaining, self evident and logical that even my very cynical and anti-spiritual German husband enjoyed listening with me.

how to let go of future and past

Tolle is a spiritual master and his books are documents of this mastery. This book is one of his shorter ones and introduces you to the idea of the NOW which is, in Tolle's view, the only thing that really exists. Past and future have no intrinsic reality to them.
He explains also how to live in the now and what could prevent you from doing so and how to overcome these obstacles.
Tolle's somewhat monotonous, but warm and almost hypnotizing voice makes particularly the audio book a true spiritual experience that you don't want to miss.
This book might as well change the way you approach life. And be assured it will be a change you will like.

Excellent and deep, should be listened xx times!

Really appreciate it much. I come back to it all the time. Echkart is a great philosopher, he manages to use the words in a manner which makes complex simple.
