How to calm "Monkey Mind"



Have you ever experienced "monkey mind"? Sometimes when we close our eyes we have a zillion thoughts race through our heads and we just can not quiet our minds. If you are one of these people, here is a tip. Try visualizing yourself lying on your mat (or in your bed). See yourself as a passive observer of your own body. Tune out any other sound, distraction or thought for just a moment. Distance yourself from your thoughts. See your thoughts as individual clouds floating by in your mind. Acknowledge that you have these thoughts but attach no emotion to them. Just watch them float across the screen in your mind's eye. Without emotion, these thoughts have no power. They become only white puffy clouds....and within a few minutes, you will feel a weight has been lifted from your entire being. And if you are in bed- you will drift off to dreamland!
