The Power Of Now is a book based on the understandings of being and living in the present moment.
When we live and be in the present moment we free ourselves from suffering and pain created by our own thoughts, emotions and ego. Being in the now allows us to surrender and let go of any attachments we have to our life situation. It’s not about blocking feelings, emotions and thoughts out; it is about not attaching to them. The more you are focused on time – past and future the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is. Why is it the most precious thing? Because it is the only thing there is.
Most of our worry, stress and pain in our lives either come from the past or future and when we let go of these things the mind becomes still, the body relaxes and you live lovingly and joyously with full acceptance no matter what life presents to us.
Being present in each moment; living mindfully with full awareness is the key to peace. If you have ever been to yoga or a meditation class at Ourano Yoga and My health yoga you will know that this is something practiced every moment you come to you mat.
Being is something that cannot be understood with the mind. You can only know it and feel it when the mind is still.
Being present in the now is an understanding that when fully felt can change your life situation dramatically. This is something we must practice with true belief and surrender and although we may not do it all the time we can still have pure intention to do so and that will then manifest into our reality.
As Eckhart Tolle says “whatever the present moment contains - accept it, as if you had chosen it. Always work with it not against it. Make it your friend not your enemy and this will miraculously transform your whole life.
Eckhart Tolle is straight to the point and answers questions on the power of now throughout the entire book which makes it easier to understand and apply the teachings.
A truly inspirational and powerful read that I highly recommend to all of my students and to those who wish to understand and live the true essence of what it means to be present in the moment.
With an abundance of love,
