CHAPTER

The Power of Now by Ecartole

The book, power of now, by ecartole is a cultural touchstone that was loomed large for me growing up. Not everyone has to buy into the fully buddhist, there is no self except the narrative of suffering, kind of mind set. The idea here being not that memory or anticipation or story telling are bad, but that the undisciplined use of them by our minds can create much more pain and suffering than is helpful to us. It's like you're stuck in the past. Re living that and doing the kind of breath work that you're talking about can help nudge you towards or of the present moment.
