Imagine you could stop your thoughts, even if it were just for a few seconds. You would discover the peace and enlightenment of the NOW.
Our busy lives force us into constant thought about what problems we face or what errors we made or what injustices we suffered.
Quieting the mind enhances mind body fitness and strengthens the positive connection between the spiritual and physical YOU. In this state, healing the body occurs naturally.
Practicing the Power of Now
The Oprah Book Club selected, therapist-recommended The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is truly a masterpiece about learning to focus on the present moment. Concentrating on the NOW is something we do infrequently. That's because most of the time our minds are directed back in time to the past or forward in time to future deliberations.

The Power of Now explains the eradication of the "delusion of time" so that you can live peacefully (and joyfully) in your body. Rather than dive into the depths of this book, some critics recommend the companion book Practicing the Power of Now. It is a condensed version complete with exercises and meditations.
An Amazon reviewer of Practicing the Power of Now summarizes its message as follows:
'Free yourself from the tyranny of your thoughts and find peace. Yes, of course, the Buddha said much the same thing long ago. And many others have said the same thing since the Buddha. But Eckhart Tolle presented this enduring wisdom in a package that was devoid of rituals and beliefs, ones meant for another time and culture."
What Happens When You Do NOT Practice The Power Of Now
