Do you sometimes find yourself distracted by thought about the future? Or, do you replay past experiences in your mind, often unproductively? Probably, yes.

These days we often hear the importance of being in the present moment. We’re told that life is not made up of "yesterdays” and "tomorrows", rather, the "now" is all that exists and if we're not here "now" then we're not really living. We’re told that "the present" is the only thing that we really have. "Being in the moment" frees us to experience life more fully. "Being in the moment" reminds us to be more mindful of wherever we happen to be. When emotions, thoughts, or desires are arising within, we can notice them, be gentle with them, and allow them to be just as they are. We live with more inner peace as we make room for the full range of our human experience.

You may ask: "What’s in it for me?" With some effort and self-development you may learn to see the time dimension from the outside.

And once you have achieved that, you will understand "being in the moment" better.

Moreover, Erkan Sariyildiz suggests that everything, the past, in the present and the future, is happening right now. This implies that we can influence our past even today. Something we are doing right now can affect both our past and our future. Classical belief suggests that we can only influence our future from the point where we stand.

This meditation will help you to deepen your understanding of the present moment and help you avoid the common, everyday distractions that take you out of the now. You will learn to focus your mind away from the anxiety and worry about the future and regrets about the past.
