Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now Quotes

“To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.”

“In this state of inner connectedness, you are much more alert, more awake than in the mind-identified state. You are fully present. It also raises the vibrational frequency of the energy field that give life to the physical body.”

“How’ is always more important that ‘what.’ See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.”
