Is the key to a fulfilled life and to enlightenment simply this: not to run away from the present moment, but to be deeply rooted in it? The answer is yes, reiterated Eckhart Tolle, a modern master, at a retreat in Rishikesh (India) recently

Tolle tips

· Stay fully present in the now—your whole life unfolds here. In the now there is joy of Being and deep peace.

· Be present as the watcher of the mind.

· Just observe and feel—do not judge anything.

· Do not wish the present moment to be different from what it is.

· Make it a habit to feel your body from inside as often as possible. The body is always in the present.

· Don’t believe this, try it!
