| A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) by Penguin Helpful with migraine management |
The wisdom in Eckhart Tolle's book, "The New Earth," helped me reduce the intensity and frequency of my migraines.
Because I took more than 20 migraine pills a month when the limit is 10 my neurologist said I had rebound migraines. She told me to stop taking the migraine medication for 30-days. She called it's a "Triptan Pill Holiday" and prescribed a narcotic to deal with the pain.
When a migraine hit on day three of the triptan pill holiday I took a narcotic. Closing my eyes from the blinding light I collapsed on the couch. The throbbing pain in my temple moved with waves of nausea. Negative pictures of my life loomed large.
I clung to Tolle's teaching. "Surrender to pain it's not who I am. I'm consciousness." My breathe ebbed and flowed between the stabbing throbs.
As the dark clouds of pain raced across the sky of my mind I repeated Tolle`s words, "Pain is a doorway out of my ego prison." The following morning I was pain free. The world looked fresh and new.
When another migraine hit on day nine I again read Tolle's book. I wept when he talked about the pain body and how the migraine belongs to my pain body not me.
Tolle made me aware how my mother and I hold the story of being unwanted children in our pain bodies. I saw that I could replace my critical voices and even drop the story. I pictured the pain in my head as a tiny black kitten and lovingly stroked its fur. For a moment the pain subsided. I told myself "It's okay to have a sick body."
Replacing the negative story with a positive one is progress. But to be fully present I must learn to befriend the space behind my stories (my inner body).
My head continued to throb painfully even after taking another narcotic. Thinking of Tolle's infinite stillness I became peaceful and fell asleep.
I woke a few hours later refreshed and pain free.
Its been two weeks since I started the triptan holiday and I've had only two migraines and taken two narcotics. The migraines and pain pills have been reduced from five to one a week. I'm grateful for my neurologist's help and Tolle teachings.
I pray for good health but even more importantly now that I'm aware that behind my pain body is the infinite peace of pure consciousness I no longer feel like a victim.

| Thank you to Mr. Tolle, for putting the ego into perspective and recognizing that WE ARE NOT OUR ego. He also identified the "pain body" as something that makes us react a certain way to situations in our lives. Simply the most important book in decades! |
| A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) by Penguin Eckhart Tolle A New Earth |
| Excellent book, if you want to start on a path to spiritual awakening or even speed up the path you are on then this is the book for you!! |

| That certainly warrants National Acclaim- by Author Paul D. Cohn, "Sao Tome". São Tome: Journey to the Abyss--Portugal's Stolen Children |
| A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) by Penguin Tolle's book packs a punch and some |
| I've had the opportunity to review several of the chapters of book. His words are powerful and the book is an excellent page turner. It helps address some of life's most important and troubling questions and concerns. In essence, the book mirror's "the here and now" and provides a reality check for those who got lost in the translation of life. One of his most important statements points out that we must live in the present and let go of the past because it can't be changed. Out of the number of self-improvement and inspirational books I've read, I highly recommend buying this book and use it as a daily life reference guide. |
