BY RITU BHATIA
It’s not particularly hard to be mindful or more present: The problem is remembering to do it! The incessant stream of thoughts running through our head often distracts us, interfering with our ability to pay attention to what is happening at that moment. So lost are we in our thoughts of either the past or the future, that paying attention to the present moment, the now is a constant challenge. This habit of carelessness has caused a spiritual crisis, which is the theme of Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now, one of the most influential spiritual books of our time that extolls the importance of staying in the present moment and revelling in it.
