One of the most telling signs that we are creating what Eckhart Tolle calls a new earth is the increasing interest in meditation. Once a practice intended for monks and ascetics, meditation is now open to everyone as a powerful pathway to awakened consciousness. On Meditations for a New Earth, Eckhart’s teaching partner Kim Eng presents eight guided practices that let you go deeper into the formless awareness that has already awakened within you. Whether you are an experienced meditator or just starting out, Kim Eng brings you two CDs of valuable insights and techniques, including: How to structure your practice so you are not doing meditation, but instead allowing it to give rise to presence; Eight guided meditations, including practices for dissolving the pain-body, breathing, meditating in nature, and more. Ten mini-meditations to turn your daily routine into an opportunity for awakening; How to experience the true purpose of meditation–opening to a life of spacious awareness. If you’re like millions of readers, you may wonder how you can participate in the transformation of consciousness that Eckhart Tolle describes in A New Earth. Now with Meditations for a New Earth, you can discover a series of powerful and time-honored practices for liberating your awareness from the labyrinth of thought–and opening to a state of pure presence.

I think the mini-meditations have helped me the most – just to remember to stay present in all things. Also, the meditation that deals with the pain-body is very good. I highly recommend Meditations for a New Earth for anyone who needs help in accessing the NOW.

This CD set is an excellent addition to my library, one I will return to often.First of all, Kim Eng has the perfect voice for guided meditation. It is smooth, calm yet alert; she articulates each word with fluidity, effortlessly, and uses pauses naturally with perfect timing. Often meditation speakers attempt to be too slow or too relaxed; not so here. Ms. Eng is a gifted speaker.The material presented is extensive. The “meditation on the breath” is the foundation of Ms. Eng’s meditation techniques and is a common meditative method. Preceded by brief introductions by Ms. Eng and Eckhart Tolle, this is the first one on CD #1. This guided meditation is mostly helpful for ‘beginner level’ meditators, or those who have been using a different meditative technique (such as…
