         The Monkey Mind And Meditation     Some may find the term, “monkey mind”, upsetting, derogatory, and insulting.

However, one thing is for certain: if we are feeling restless or discontent we are not living our dreams! The feelings of discontent and longing for a better life, even when we may not know yet what it is we are being drawn towards, are actually calls from The Universe to pursue our greater good.
