You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart TolleOnly if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness
Eckhart TolleIn you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness.
Eckhart TolleFocus attention on the feeling inside you. Know that it is the pain-body. Accept that it is there. Don't think about it - don't let the feeling turn into thinking. Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware not only of the emotional pain but also of "the one who observes," the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence. Then see what happens.
