How to Silence your Mind

<p>In today’s podcast episode, we’re talking about the wandering mind. Sometimes called “monkey mind,” this state of an active mind can seem complicated. An active mind is something all meditators face at times, mostly when new to the practice.</p> <p>We’ll start by covering the problem, seeking to understand the mind’s thoughts more clearly. What is going on when the mind is active? We then will discuss a few techniques you can use to help collect the mind and work with the monkey mind, including concentration practice, loving-kindness meditation, and cultivating a daily practice.</p> <p>Please, if you are regular listeners and like this podcast, support it if you can.
