In your question you are referring to the holy grail. The contemporary trend called mindfulness is built around the understanding that the mind must be quieted, tamed. For the most part those who practise mindfulness see it as a means to release stress. However, setting one's attention on the now moment releases the grip of gravity, allows energy to flow more naturally and ultimately creates changes.
It's difficult! Try yourself to focus your attention, in the now, just for five minutes, without being distracted. It takes much practise and the more one is rational and intelligent the harder it is to stop the mind chatter.
A suggestion? Just to do it. To practise. Find ways that work for you, small exercises that help you remain in the now. Focusing on the breathing is something I use regularly.
