If you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.

As a child, a person builds up an egoic sense - the child has a name, has an "I," has a mind. But then, to awaken, a person needs to completely transcend that sense of ego.

When you are aligned with the now internally, when you take responsibility for this moment, then life is helpful and tends to bring you what you need.

Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for salvation.
