An important belief in many types of Eastern philosophy is that you should live in the moment. Life, according to this philosophy, exists as a series of present moments. The past is behind us, and the future is not yet here.
We can think about the past, but we are thinking about it in the present moment. In a similar way, we can think about the future, but even while thinking of it, we are still in the present. Eastern philosophy teaches us that if we stay grounded in the present moment, we will be more in touch with reality.
One way to get grounded in the present is to pay attention to the information coming in through your senses. Focus on what you can see, hear, feel, taste, and touch. Your may have a lot of distracting thoughts flitting through your mind which distract you from what is going on in the present, but if you return your focus to your senses, your awareness will come back to the present moment. Many people who meditate focus on their breath to become grounded in the present moment, to quiet down the chatter in their minds, and to become more relaxed.
