I recently read the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Toll. I had a great time reading it. I felt the need to express my own opinions about the vision of this book. This book amazingly change my ideas towards life.

In the opening few pages or simply the first few phrases of the book, something extraordinary—a life-altering encounter, something divine—is promised. Curiosity starts to grow. You are examining your own thoughts. Can it be done? Have I missed it my entire life? Do other individuals already own that?

What does it mean to practice the power of Now??

I am giving my honest review, To put it simply, presence is similar to a muscle. It has to be trained. By default, your ego has taken control of you, and you believe that your intellect is who you are. You are presumably aware of this at this point. You are the force (or whatever you choose to name it) behind it. You are already aware that you are more than just your thinking. Simply practice crossing over to the opposite side. to the spectator mode. to the 'no mind' condition. You will only have access to and control over your mind as a tool. This will provide you a lot of opportunities. You'll have no limits. Unmanifested, to quote Eckhart.

Where are you going? Once more, you have to practice . To put it simply, presence is similar to a muscle. It has to be trained.

I believe the issue is that individuals read the book but don't put it into practice. It will become your life's mission to stay present once you awaken and experience the ecstasy of presence. It will be an objective that you won't need to work towards. You can accomplish it right now. And this is what makes it beautiful. Everything you require is already inside you. Nothing more has to be acquired, acquired, or learned. Since there is no future, enlightenment cannot be attained in it. You just have the present time at hand.

Tips For Using The Power Of Now

There aren't many portals that can transport you to the present. In his books and other writings, Eckhart Tolle describes them. Which are:

by touching your hands

Experiencing your entire body

concentrating on breathing

accepting the current state of events

taking in the quiet around you

observing your thoughts while anticipating your next one

Not all of them need to be used at all times. When you test them out, stick with the one that will give you the best results and bring you into the here and now.

Only NOW can you become conscious. Simply said, the one thing that we can all do to reverse this tendency is to put it into practice and spread it to others. People will see the wonderful change inside of you and be eager to adopt your lifestyle.

Good luck and stay present!!
