If you’re a fan of Eckhart Tolle, then you’re probable already familiar with his definition of presence, and you might also have come across his free present moment reminders. These are weekly quotes his team sends out to act as little nudges to remember to center yourself in the Now-moment and continue to live with a heightened sense of presence.
The reminders come as a weekly email with a quote image, and in this post I just want to share a few of my favorite reminders from recent weeks.

When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, ‘I don’t have time,’ but that’s the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space. – Eckhart Tolle
Space is one of the most important qualities to develop throughout the course of our daily actions. Space only truly comes when you learn how to simply your life. When you feel overwhelmed or busy, one of the best and simplest actions you can do is simply to take this space to breathe. Even as little as 30 seconds can do wonders to reset your energy, clarify your goals, and help you decide how to proceed.

Love does not want or fear anything. – Eckhart Tolle
It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so – your resistance is. – Eckhart Tolle
In addition to the importance of remaining centered in the Now-moment, Tolle teaches us how to release our past negative energy in order to more fully appreciate our lives as they occur. In essence, this is the hear of what he means by presence, but they also connect directly to his message about the need to release the emotional pain body and live a life free from unnecessary suffering.
