Present moment awareness essential from "summary" of The Power of Now Journal by Eckhart Tolle
The essence of what I am teaching is the importance of being present in the now. This is not just a nice concept or a spiritual idea; it is a practical necessity for living a fulfilled life. When you are fully present in the moment, you are free from the burdens of the past and the worries of the future. You are able to fully experience life as it is happening, without being clouded by your thoughts and emotions. Being present in the moment means being fully aware of what is happening both inside and outside of you. It means paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment or attachment. It means being fully engaged in whatever you are doing, whether it is eating a meal, talking to a friend, or walking in nature. When you are present in the moment, you are able to connect more deeply with yourself and others. You are able to listen more attentively, speak more authentically, and act more consciously. You are able to appreciate the beauty and wonder of life in all its forms. You are able to tap into a sense of peace and contentment that is always available to you, no matter what is happening in your external circumstances. The present moment is where your true power lies. It is where you can access your inner wisdom, creativity, and intuition. It is where you can make choices that are in alignment with your highest good. It is where you can experience a sense of oneness with the universe and all living beings. So, my dear friend, I urge you to practice present moment awareness in every aspect of your life. Make it a priority to bring your attention back to the now whenever you find yourself dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Cultivate a sense of presence in everything you do, and watch as your life transforms in miraculous ways. Remember, the present moment is not just a place to visit; it is where you truly belong.
