The Power of Being Present

The work of becoming conscious really is the work of getting to know who you really are, not who you just think you are. I meditate quite a bit because I want to experience thoughtless existence that I can stop getting in my own way. And when you're being present, you have actually so much power, right? The reason why you feel so much anxiety about something that you constantly keep thinking about is because that thing that you're thinking about, you can't do anything about it. It just lives in your mind. So if you could just kind of bring all that energy back here and be present, you'd beyou'd be much more effective.
