soldier.

A Journey of Spiritual Awakening with Kim Eng of Eckhart Teachings
  The essence of Kim's teaching is spiritual awakening -- accessing the
dimension beyond time and conditioned thinking. This teaching session
is a valuable opportunity to allow yourself to let go of "who you think
you are" and be the Presence behind all thought, the stillness behind
all motion. Through meditation, movement, as well as words (pointers),
you will learn how to access Presence for yourself and sustain it in
everyday life. More important than the form and structure of the session,
is the stillness, the true healing and transformative power.
  Kim travels and works extensively with Eckhart Tolle, the author of
the best-selling book, The Power of Now, taking his teaching around the
world. She is Eckhart's partner and associate. Although Eckhart and his
teachings has been a great influence in her spiritual awakening, Kim
devotes herself to the only real teacher, the stillness within.
    Kim brings a down-to-earth approach to spirituality which I find
very refreshing. In her counseling work with individuals as well as
groups she beautifully sustains the state of Presence and has a great
ability for bringing people back into the present moment, the place where all
healing occurs and no problem can survive. My blessings go with her and
all the people she touches." ~ Eckhart Tolle

(10th-century canoness of Gandersheim, historian and playwright). Directed by
Prof. Marilyn Skow (FIU Theatre) and performed by FIU students. The plays

the 12th-century abbess of Bingen, whose music was officially recognized

such as were sung by the religious women of Benedictine communities.
