The Mind is Like a Frisky Monkey

Do Something Amazing ... Meditate the Right Way ~ Why is Meditation so Hard? Are you tired of trying to find that calm center, that quiet mind through meditation, but having no success? You know that meditation is a means of changing your well-being by releasing stress and tension. You sit down, take a deep breath, find a comfortable spot and try to focus. On what? Your mind begins to wander, you get itchy and edgy and can't sit still, and finally you forget -- or never knew -- where you were trying to focus. And you give up in frustration.

Don't Give Up on Meditation. It Works!!! Do you want to find a way of relaxing, releasing tension and increasing your self-awareness? You just have to use techniques designed to prepare a strong foundation for successful meditation. If you are discouraged about the results of your meditative efforts and struggle because you are not achieving relaxation, you are ready for a new approach. If you become anxious because you can't focus, it's time for a change.

To quote one of my favorite teachers, George Curnoles, "Your mind is like a frisky monkey. Don't beat your monkey." No, that's not an R-rated statement, but a realistic way to look at how your mind works. Do you find yourself unable to focus on the goal of your meditation, whether it is a candle flame, a sound, a thought, a concept? Then your mind is just acting normally. Minds and thought processes are so complex, that we can hold multi-dimensional focuses at the same time. The purpose of meditation, however, is to learn to control your thoughts, focus your ideas and develop a desired outcome.

Unfortunately, if you haven't had the guidance and direction that teaches you how to develop your concentration, most likely you will experience scattered, uncontrolled thoughts and images. The Frisky Monkey mind will scatter your efforts. It has been said that the difference between praying and meditating is that when we pray, we are doing the talking. When we meditate we are listening.

The Frisky Monkey Guided Meditation Series is a set of guided meditations designed to teach you the correct and necessary steps that will lead you along the path of solid concentration skills toward the ability to meditate deeply and focus upon any internal goals you set. These guided meditations start with basic awareness of the breath, sounds, imagery and build toward self-examination, deepening awareness and goal-setting.

The Frisky Monkey Guided Meditation Series is a set of 10 concentration and meditation techniques that will teach you how to relax, release tension and focus on specific life-enhancing goals.
