Find peace in the simple act of breathing from "summary" of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

When you feel overwhelmed by the incessant chatter of your mind, take a moment to pause and simply breathe. Inhale deeply, feel the air entering your body, and then exhale slowly, releasing any tension or stress you may be holding onto. Focus all your attention on the sensation of breathing, allowing it to anchor you in the present moment. The act of breathing is a simple yet powerful tool that can help you connect with the essence of who you are beyond the noise of your thoughts. As you become more attuned to your breath, you may notice a sense of peace and stillness emerging within you. This peace is not dependent on external circumstances or the fluctuations of your mind—it is always available to you in the present moment. By cultivating a deep awareness of your breath, you can access a place of inner calm that transcends the chaos of the world around you. This inner sanctuary is always within reach, waiting for you to return to it whenever you need a respite from the busyness of life. In this space of stillness, you can find clarity, wisdom, and a profound sense of peace that is not contingent on anything outside of yourself. The simplicity of focusing on your breath can be deceiving, as it may seem too easy to be truly transformative. However, the power of this practice lies in its ability to bring you back to the present moment, where all true peace resides. In the midst of chaos and confusion, the act of breathing can be a lifeline that anchors you in the eternal now, where all is well and all is as it should be. So, the next time you find yourself caught up in the whirlwind of your thoughts, remember to come back to your breath. Allow it to guide you back to the stillness and peace that is your true nature. In the simplicity of this act lies a profound truth: that peace is always available to you, right here and right now. Just breathe, and let yourself be carried away on the gentle tide of your breath.
