Most of us live our life in a state of absence. Most of us go AWOL (absent without leave) hundreds of times a day! Watch your thoughts and you will notice that they either go into the past or in to the future and you allow them to carry you with them. That's why you are rarely truly present, truly here and now, truly in this moment. Most people are totally unaware of this and, as a result, only fully experience a small part of their life.

The practice of experiencing silence (detaching yourself from action) 
through meditation for atleast a minute every hour increases your ability to concentrate and it gradually enables you to be here and now.

You will learn to know, feel, see and be at peace, in love, joyful and contented ... NOW

And in time these feelings will be present for you wherever you are and 
during whatever you are doing. Peace, love and contentment are not in the past or the future, they are only and always in the NOW, only NOW… i.e. Present
