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. - Feeling the inner body
Sense the subtle aliveness inside the body as a stable anchor for presence.
The Power of Now, In Practice - Entering the present moment
Drop attention out of past and future and into direct sensory contact with now.

Notice the small silences between thoughts and let attention settle there.

Observe your own thoughts as a witness, instead of being lost inside them.
The Power of Now, In Practice - The Power of Full Engagement, Made Practical
Loehr and Schwartz argue that performance depends on managing energy, not time: you have physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy, and the key is oscillating between full engagement and real recovery rather than pushing linearly. The four-dimensions model is a practitioner framework, but its building blocks — recovery, breaks, sleep, exercise, and meaning — each have their own real support. - Practicing with a sangha (community sitting)
Sit with others regularly — group practice stabilizes individual practice in ways solitude cannot.
Shikantaza: Just Sitting - Bring contemplative attention to ordinary moments
Practice full presence in mundane activities as a form of sacred attentiveness.
The Perennial Philosophy, Made Practical - The value of emptiness — making space
