The power of now !

Hello and Namaste to everyone reading this !
Today I want to talk about a new book I have just started.
It's the book " The power of now " written by Eckhart Tolle. I think lot of people know this book but for those who have never heard about it, they miss many things so I'm going to fix that.
The power of now is a spiritual guide which helps us to detach ourselves from our ego created by our mind and detach ourselves from the past and the future focusing on the present moment.
By doing this, we stop identifying ourselves with this ego and we connect to our real being.
We are present again and we are connected again to the source.
We can call this "awakening" or "enlightenment" and it's already in all of us, we just need to focus our attention on our deepest being and it isn't so complicated because everyone has already felt this state of peace and calm interior but surely not long enough to really realize and appreciate it.
Do this little exercise, it allows to get in touch with his subtle body and you will notice the immediate change that appears. Close your eyes, focus your attention on your body. Feel it from inside. Do you feel the vitality in your hands, your arms, your legs, your feet and your chest ? Do you feel the subtle energy field that infuses your whole body and vitalises every organ and cell ? Keep your attention on your subtle body but don't start to think about it, feel it only.
More you focus your attention on it, more the sensation becomes clear and intensifies itself.
It's a kind of meditation and for me it was really powerful. And the next step is to be able to do this exercise at every moment of the day in the background. I explain : no matter what activity you do, try to connect to your body and hold the connection the most you can.
Don't worry if you cannot do it. As Eckhart explains, we live in collective unconsciousness (for the vast majority of people) and we must wake up. We must stop live like zombie controlled by our mind and ego.
It's never too late and I think that today many people realized it and they start to wake up.
I hope this little post will have made you want to read this wonderful book or at least to start asking yourself if you're really awake or if your mind took the control of your life. There is a simple way to know it, you can't be happy in a life control by your mind and where you are identified with your ego.
There are many other interesting points in this book, such as God, the madness of psychological time, the illusions created by the mind and full of advice to become conscious again on a daily basis.
I'll probably talk about it in an other post because I really learned lot of things because of this book.
Thank you for reading me, have a good day and take care of you !
