Are you at peace or do you feel stressed and exhausted?

Are you allowing or trying to control?

Is there enjoyment in what you are doing or do you feel constantly fearful?

Is there a lightness in your body or do you feel heavy?

Are you present or is your mind always stuck in the past or future?

“Stay present, stay conscious. Be the ever-alert guardian of your inner space. You need to be present enough to be able to watch the pain-body directly and feel its energy. It then cannot control your thinking. The moment your thinking is aligned with the energy field of the pain-body, you are identified with it and again feeding it with your thoughts.”

Eckhart Tolle
