#themonkeymind

Well, its pretty normal and we all have experienced that our mind never stops. It thinks about certain and uncertain things, assumes, judges, motivates, feels embarrassed and what not. There are lot of emotions that are triggered as per the content of mind. It chatters all the time. Many a times, I have experienced myself lost in thoughts. Coming out of one thought and indulging in another. Planning about career, health, financial status, and then fears about what if it would not go as I think and then what I'll be doing afterwards. I have been through these kind of thoughts on loops(repeated pattern). Sometimes I even felt depressed thinking about my past and then comparing those days with the present. O man!! it never stops and suddenly I find myself low on energy and  tired. Apart from that it sounds so weird that at times I worry about my worries. I am worried that why am I worrying so much?  So this is how mind chatters as per my experiences. I believe this is the reason why is it called monkey mind. So all I wanna say here is that we all must accept a fact mind chatters all the time, though one can control it through meditation and other techniques.

Are we being trained to tame the monkey mind? Are we tamed enough?

Every day, I pull two cards. One just before I leave the house, and another when I arrive at my work desk. In the morning, I had the Prairie Dog - its medicine says, “Your positive outlook has an impact on your surroundings.” The other one is pictured here. I’ve had this deck of Soul Cards for 3 years now and I’ve used it enough times to recognise each one of them. I have never seen this one before. In fact, I’m pulling cards that rarely appear to me lately. Thinking about it now, I did always get a particular set of cards in the past repetitively - reflecting the recurring themes in my real life I suppose. They're probably lessons I haven't learned. It might seem that my path is changing its course. This 'new' card warms my soul today – I feel like I’m being fed by life's divine nectar, with a lotus cup. But my favourite is the chimpanzee and fish on either side of the third eye projection, meditating with me. #themonkeymind #meditation #soulprayer
