Taming the Monkey Mind: The Fundamentals of Meditation

The term "Monkey Mind" is often used in Buddhism to describe a restless, unsettled, and uncontrollable state of mind. It refers to the constant chattering, jumping, and swinging from one thought to another, akin to a monkey jumping from branch to branch in a tree. The Monkey Mind is characterized by an incessant stream of thoughts, worries, anxieties, and distractions that can make it challenging for an individual to experience a sense of calm or focus.

In today's meetup, we will explore various ways to recognize the 'monkey mind' and discover how to cultivate inner peace within our own minds.
