The Monkey
Some people may now think what is meant by a ‘monkey’ or why the title ‘catch your monkey’. Of
course psychologists, persons in the medical field, those who attended mind
empowerment programs, life coaching and meditation classes and great lovers of
motivational books might know ‘the monkey’ very well. You can get a number of
articles on ‘monkey mind’ in the Internet. Monkey is in fact represents our ‘conscious
mind’.
While talking
about the mind monastic leaders, philosophers and motivational speakers always
use the word ‘monkey’ to represent conscious mind. You know that a monkey is
always jumping here are there, swing from tree to tree. Buddhist teachers always use the term ‘monkey mind’
to explain the phenomenon that our conscious mind always jump from thought to thought without being in the present moment
of awareness. Say for example, think of what does your monkey mind usually do while you are praying in a church?!
It is because of
this monkey we are unable to concentrate on a particular thing sometimes even though
we want to do so. It is because of this monkey we are unable to concentrate in
a book. The Monkey is the reason for most of the accidents in our life. Because
of the monkey you are unable to accomplish your oaths!
Why you are off track
from your goals many times? Well catch your Monkey, the conscious mind, it’s the culprit. The Monkey can
make you a winner or a loser. So the Conscious Mind is very important in our life.
Taming the Monkey Mind is the key to success!
