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

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now

New World Library is the authorized publisher of Practicing the Power of Now.

The Power of Now has in a short time already proven to be one of the greatest spiritual books written in recent times. It contains a power that goes beyond words, and it can lead us to a much quieter place beyond our thoughts, a place where our thought-created problems dissolve, and we discover what it means to create a liberated life. In Eckhart Tolle’s words:

I speak of a profound transformation of human consciousness, not as a distant future possibility, but available now ― no matter who or where you are. You are shown how to free yourself from enslavement to the mind, enter into this enlightened state of consciousness, and sustain it in everyday life.

Throughout The Power of Now, there are specific practices and clear keys that show us how to discover for ourselves the “grace, ease, and lightness” that come when we simply quiet our thoughts and see the world before us in the present moment.

Practicing the Power of Now is a carefully arranged series of excerpts from The Power of Now that directly give us those exercises and keys. Read this book slowly, or even just open it at random, reflect on the words, reflect even on the space between the words, and ― maybe over time, maybe immediately ― you’ll discover something of life-changing significance. You’ll find the power, the ability, to change and elevate not only your life, but your world as well.

It is here, now, in this moment: the sacred presence of your Being. It is here, now, not in some distant future: a place within us that always is and ever will be beyond the turmoil of life, a world of calm beyond words, of joy that has no opposite.

It is in your hands. Discover the power of Now.
