Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger are often caused by our identification with our thoughts and beliefs.The practice of meditation can help us cultivate inner stillness and awareness, and connect with the present moment.We can learn to detach from our ego and identify with a deeper sense of self, which Tolle calls the "inner body" or "being".Accepting what is in the present moment, without resistance or judgment, can help us find inner peace and happiness.The mind is constantly active, but we can learn to observe our thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them.The present moment is all we have, and we should strive to be fully present and engaged in each moment.
On the other hand, when you are internally aligned with the Now, you open yourself to the experience of peace and ease … you discover the doorway to true creativity … your relationships improve dramatically … and, ultimately, you realize that who and what you really are is something far beyond anything you could possibly conceive with the mind.Īlong with my partner, Kim Eng, I’ll be leading you through eight weeks of practical teachings and exercises for changing the way you relate to the present moment, which is to say the way you experience your life.Here are ten lessons from "Practicing the Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle: Most of your Doing becomes stressful and ultimately pointless, because you are not rooted in the dimension of Being. This dysfunctional state of consciousness keeps you trapped in unease, unhappiness, anxiety, stress, frustration, and so on. If you habitually resist the present moment or see it as an obstacle or even an enemy, then you’re never really fully alive. Why is life so much better when we align ourselves with the present moment? Because the Now is the only place where life happens. I call it Presence.Īnd in this online course, The Power of Presence, I invite you to not only realize this shift for yourself, but also ensure that it becomes your predominant state of consciousness. This brings about a new state of consciousness. How? By making the present moment their friend and by honoring rather than denying it.
Instead of reducing the moment to a means to an end-or worse, unconsciously regarding it as an obstacle or an enemy, they are starting to experience a depth of freedom and joy they couldn’t imagine previously. Since the publication of The Power of Now, many people have been undergoing a shift in consciousness by changing the way in which they relate to the present moment.
