Everyday Bliss For Women In Leadership

It’s official, I’m bigger than Oprah. (no, really, keep reading!)

Everyday Bliss For Busy Women finished out its birthday at #142 overall in General Books on Amazon.com, up from its starting number of 8,978. Wow. That’s a better than 8,000-fold increase in less than 24 hours. Pretty hot, I’m telling you what.  Everyday Bliss also finished #2 in Women’s Health on Amazon.com (!) and #5 in Personal Transformation, just above Eckhart Tolle’s Oprah’s Book Club choice "A New Earth" at #6 and just below the venerable Dale Carnegie’s "How To Win Friends and Influence People" at #4.

For a few brief shining moments, my book was number two and rose gracefully and with dignity, above the Oprah Book Club pick to sit at the feet of the all-wise and ever-chipper Mr. Carnegie. (and gee whiz, in company with Eckhart Tolle!) Hot holy bananacakes, Batman!

What a nice anniversary present. (yes, it was today as well) The Bear and I have been together for ten years this year. We’re still alive, still in love and still working on it as is fitting and proper. He thought this news above was the best anniversary present. It’s nice to have your partner proud of you.

And all this is illusion, is fancy, is ultimately, not important. Even though it is. Mr. Tolle was right on that front. And a lot of others. I’m just thrilled I was even if briefly, in his presence.   ;-)  Here’s the shot worth a thousand words, right here:

Huzzah! The book has arrived. The real book, not just the jpg, which was all I had of the cover photo. And here is me with book, very late at night after being out all day and coming home to the box on my doorstep. Weary, and without makeup, but the grin is 100% gen-u-wine.

Mitties Anoushka and Tashi-Claire immediately sat in the box and pawed its contents but unlike swift friend Andy, who caught his sitting in the book box, I was not fast enough to get a photo. 

The illustrations reproduced beautifully and friends have praised the self-coaching system as clear and concise. Reviewer’s copies are now being shipped (stay tuned for acid-test thoughts on Everyday Bliss from the most provocative minds in America and Europe!).

As an author, one comes to look at their book in terms of a series of chapters, or this or that section. It’s nice to finally see it all hang together. For a gift book, it certainly is wide - the spine is about an inch wide. Too much goodness to contain in just one place. I can’t wait for it to be on shelves all over so I can share this information with you, too.

I am so blessed in my friends. They are a constant reminder of Bliss in so very many ways. Suzanne Falter-Barns, besides being a good friend, personal platform coach and author, is also accomplished at the art of Joy Cultivation. Suzanne lives on a huge lake and is the picture of vibrant health as she regularly recreates on or around it. I admire her sheer verve and the beautiful lifestyle she’s created. Suzanne recently wrote a blog post I felt compelled to comment on and wanted to share a wise nugget of here:

I’ve come to understand not only how restorative quiet is, but how necessary it is. In order to connect with our creative projects, we really need that stillness. Our tender, fragile creative voices are hard enough to hear. Once you add the static of these crazy, complicated, overly busy lives we’ve cooked up, it becomes downright impossible. There is a reason writers have always headed to the hills to write their opus magnus — they already know the magic of quiet.

She follows this with a great selection of coaching questions around whether you are getting enough silent time in your life. A must-read.

It’s a beautiful and longer clip of Tolle teaching the basic premise that your perception of Reality™ is not in fact Reality™ itself.  Luxuriate in Presence as you watch….

In a few minutes, I’ll be heading over to the Marin Center for the second day of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings on Life Purpose. Last night is still being processed, one more day or two and I should have a synthesis t o report. I can say that Tolle and The Dalai Lama have something in common: a puckish sense of good humor about humanity’s failings and delight in the world around them. I also noticed that Eckhart used a lot of sleight of mouth for the NLP’ers out there, with sentances to the effect of  "…this stream of consciousness is arising in you…NOW…" Excellent pacing and leading. More later. Words are truly ineffectual to convey the real meaning of the teachings which is found, as Tolle himself suggests, in the spaces between the words. In Stillness…

Hey there fellow Stillness fans. It’s not like Words can really capture an occasion like hearing Eckhart Tolle lecture, but I’ll try. I’m leaving in a few minutes for San Rafael, where we’ll hear Eckhart tonight from 8 - 9:30pm and Saturday from 1:30 - 4:30pm at the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium. If you’re there and find me, we’ll meditate together.

At right is a picture I found on Tolle’s website of him looking even more puckish than usual with a calico mittie. He often speaks of animals, cats in particular, as being more aware than we are. He once said the most accomplished Zen master he ever knew was a cat, so it’s not suprising to see him with one. What mutual delight on the faces of these two friends.

Here’s what the event says about itself: "…Now you are invited to experience this visionary teacher in a live, face-to-face encounter. Here is a rare opportunity to be drawn into the "spaciousness that words can only point to" by the vibrant, conscious presence of Eckhart Tolle himself."

I’ve heard about the effects of an evolved spiritual teacher conferring shaktipat, spontaneous awakening and initiation, by merely sitting in the teacher’s presence. Where I have seen most reference to this is in what is said about the spiritual teacher Amma - the Hugging Saint as she is called. I have heard this said of Tolle as we. Without anticipation, am looking forward to feeling what a room full of people being in presence together will feel like.

It’s extraordinary how I’ve come to this feeling of not looking forward, yet taking all the actions I need to take to be there. An immense clearing occured this week that lasted four days. Before the clearing the mind was busybusybusy with monkey brained chatterings. As I reach today and am marvelling at how resilient the pain-body can be, yet also how easy to take out, once you know what it’s doing, a flushing of inattentiveness seems to have happened.

Presence is one of many states that I move in and out of as I continue coming to awareness of my own pain-body. To be constantly in that state must be truly miraculous. I will get back to you later on being in the presence of one who is there most of the time is like.
