Practices that may help
- The Power of Now, In Practice
Eckhart Tolle’s teaching is that most suffering comes from compulsive thinking about past and future, and that presence — full attention to the now — dissolves it. The practical moves are watching the thinker, feeling the inner body, accepting the present moment, and recognizing the “pain-body.” These are experiential teachings; some overlap with studied mechanisms like decentering, but Tolle’s specific framing is not itself a clinically tested protocol. - Entering the present moment
Drop attention out of past and future and into direct sensory contact with now.
The Power of Now, In Practice - Feeling the inner body
Sense the subtle aliveness inside the body as a stable anchor for presence.
The Power of Now, In Practice - Acceptance of what is

The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Resting in the gap between thoughts
