Monkey Mind (n.) - As you begin to do a meditation practice, you will notice that your mind has the tendency to just chatter away. You may be constantly planning, ruminating, justifying, thinking about last week's TV show, and on and on. This inner dialogue does not often stop. It leaps from topic to topic like a monkey from branch to branch in a tree. The name we give to this often mindless mental chatter is called "Monkey Mind." Seeing Your Thoughts This week's skills practice lays the foundation for beginning to see your monkey mind. If you aren't already doing this week's foundational skills practice, check out Using Your Breath as Home (Week 3) to learn more. Tuesdays – Word of the Week
