Dr. Thynn: "Staying with the moment is only a figure of speech. It is not a commandment to be followed rigidly. This is not a proficiency test. You must understand this from the outset, otherwise you will be tied up in knots trying too hard every second of the day.
......If you become too involved with staying in the moment, you lose the art of living " of free flowing.
......You must realize that staying with the moment is just a means to break the mind,s old habits. Usually the mind flitters between thoughts and feelings about the past, present and future. Staying with the moment is just a way to train the mind to cease flitting.
......It is not important that you be with the moment every single moment of the day. What is important is that you learn to get out of the constant mental run-around and to be more focused and grounded.
......Once you break the habit of the roaming mind, you will find you are more centered and more with the present moment.
