Presence. Living in the moment. Right Now. Being. 

It seems simple enough, but it's not always easy. How often do we deny our circumstances by clinging to the past or living in the future? 

Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" sparked today's episode as Alyssa shares personal experiences and takeaways from his influential book. 

There are three ways we can all remain more present: 

1. Recognition of Thoughts

2. Body Awareness

3. Acceptance/Surrender

Are you ready to trust in the undeniable present moment? This will catapult your healing!
