A Message from Eckhart Tolle about the Swine Flu Crisis

Today I received this heart-warming message from Eckhart Tolle about the Swine Flu Crisis.  I thought I'd share it with you.  It's priceless obviously but I'm biased and that's a good thing when it refers to Eckhart Tolle!

Here is Eckhart's message:

My spiritual liberation occurred in the cauldron of crisis. Crisis can be an overwhelming experience or a tool for awakening.

News of the swine flu confronts us everywhere, and the panic it stimulates seems to be as contagious as the flu itself. Ask yourself, are you going to be a carrier of the panic or a vaccine of peace?

Peace and presence can be found in the fear itself. Each time you experience fear, anxiety, panic or insecurity, take a breath. Let that feeling be a starting point for a presence practice.

Relaxation and ease strengthen the immune system. The most important step you can take to protect yourself against the swine flu is to remain calm.

Here is a valuable resource for strengthening your body and spirit during this time of crisis:

A meditation to stimulate the immune system

Wishing you health, peace and calm,

Eckhart Tolle
