We live in a time when stress and anxiety are the norm. Frustrations, worries, pressures, disappointments and regrets easily preoccupy ones thoughts. Serenity is the antidote. Imagine how wonderful it would be if you could learn to be consistently serene. Serenity is emotional freedom and a general sense of well-being. Your brain functions at its optimal level and you think at your best. Serenity is conducive for health and for recovery. With serenity, you will be able to elevate yourself spiritually. This Moment This moment is the only moment that exists for you right now. When you start reading this present sentence, the last sentence you read was in the past and now you are presently reading this sentence. The next breath that you take, or that you are taking this second, is the only breath that exists for you in reality. Your last breath happened in the past, and your next breath didnt happen yet. When you speak to someone, each sentence you say is the only sentence that exists in the present. Your last sentence happened in the past, and your next sentence will happen in the future. The thought you are thinking in a given moment is the only thought that exists for you. Your last thought existed in the past and your next thought will be in the future. Since you are reading this, you cant read these words and think other thoughts in the exact same second. You can switch back and forth quickly, but you can only do one at a time, either you read or you think. Since you exist in only one moment at a time, to be serene you only need to be serene during that moment. You create serenity when you think serene thoughts and mentally picture serene scenes. You create serenity when you breathe slowly and deeply and relax your muscles. You create serenity when you vividly remember scenes of being serene. If you can access a serene state right now, it means that you have the ability to do so this very moment. (If you cant yet do this, read the entire book and then reread this section.) And in any future moment that moment is the only moment that actually exists for you right then. So, regardless of how you have been at any and all moments before and how you will be at any given moment later on, you only need to be serene this moment. Repeat these last four words: Be Serene This Moment. Be serene this moment. Some moments will be more conducive for serenity and some moments will be more difficult. Whenever you repeat these words, your brain will be focused on serenity. The more frequently you repeat, Be serene this moment, the more likely it is that this message will last for you even when you are not repeating these words. The skill you need to master to be consistently serene is the ability to access serenity at will in present moments.
