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

A knowing that does not destroy the sacredness and mystery of life but contains a deep love and reverence for all that is. Stress is caused by being “here” but wanting to be “there,” or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment. Recurring negative emotions do sometimes contain a message, as do illnesses.
