Taming the Monkey Mind

from Undefended Dharma with Mary Stancavage · host Mary Stancavage

The monkey mind is a phrase often used to describe a mind that is all over the place and seldom in the present. All of us experience monkey mind, overwhelm or the Pali word Papañca. In this reflection Mary invites us to recognize when we get lost in this proliferation of thought and how to stay present. In these difficult days, we can be overwhelmed quite easily and recognition and returning to this moment enable us to stay where we are and experience equanimity.What is Papañca? by Andrew OlendzkiBuddha's Brain by Rick HansonSend me a text with any questions or comments!
