THE SECOND RULE OF TIMELESS LIVING

by Deepak Chopra

SECOND RULE: MEMORY FREEZES TIME

Memory is how we hold on to the past. this means that a toxic memory is the same as a toxic experience being repeated over and over. Regret, hostility, anxiety, insecurity all depend upon trying to relive the past and change it. Therefore, memory blocks the flow of life in the present. If you are fully alive, you will remain young. The past is dead. There is no life there, even when you dwell on a happy past. your body wants to be alive here and now. to give it that gift, bring your awareness to the here and now.
