Acceptance of the present moment liberates from "summary" of The Power of Now Journal by Eckhart Tolle
When you accept the present moment as it is, you free yourself from the burden of constant resistance and mental struggle. By letting go of your inner resistance to what is, you allow yourself to experience a sense of peace and contentment that is always available to you in the present moment. This acceptance is not resignation or passivity, but a profound acknowledgment of the reality of what is happening right now. When you resist the present moment, you create suffering for yourself. You are essentially saying "No" to life as it is unfolding, which leads to feelings of frustration, stress, and dissatisfaction. However, when you accept the present moment without judgment, you open yourself up to the flow of life and allow things to be as they are. This acceptance brings a sense of freedom and lightness to your experience, as you no longer struggle against reality but instead align yourself with it. Acceptance of the present moment liberates you from the constraints of your mind and ego. When you stop resisting what is and simply observe it with awareness, you transcend the limitations of your conditioned thinking and connect with the deeper truth of your being. This liberation is not about changing your external circumstances, but rather about shifting your inner relationship to the present moment. It is a shift from unconscious reaction to conscious response, from mental noise to inner stillness. In this state of acceptance, you become fully present and alive in the now. You are no longer lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future, but fully engaged with the richness of the present moment. This presence allows you to access a deeper dimension of consciousness beyond the egoic mind, where peace, joy, and love reside. It is a state of being that is always available to you, regardless of your external circumstances. By practicing acceptance of the present moment, you cultivate a sense of inner freedom that transcends the ups and downs of life. You no longer seek happiness in external conditions or future outcomes, but find it within yourself in the eternal now. This liberation is the key to living a fulfilling and meaningful life, as you discover that true peace and happiness come from within, and are not dependent on external circumstances.
