The past was Now when it happened, and the future will be Now when it happens. In reality, the past and future exist only in your mind. We tend to think the past shaped us, and that the future holds our hope and salvation (or, perhaps, demise). We give a lot of power and credence to the past and the future.
Here is how living in the Now can help you live in a consistent state of inner peace and fulfillment. Practicing the power of Now is experiencing each of these moments with your full and undivided attention, without being distracted by your internal monologue (whether that includes thoughts of your to-do list, replaying an interaction from this morning, or running commentary and analysis of the present). The Now is the present moment-each individual moment in the innumerable sequence of moments that makes up our lives. What is the power of Now? Why is it so difficult to keep your attention in the present moment, without drifting off either into the future or the past?

It is here we discover that we are already complete and perfect. These access points, or portals, can all be used to bring us into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist.
We also find out that the body is actually one of the keys to entry into a state of inner peace, as are the silence and space all around us. For many of us there are new discoveries to be made along the way: we are not our mind we can find our way out of psychological pain authentic human power is surrendering to the Now. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to guide us. To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind.
