Mindful Monday Inspiration #2



Do you ever feel like your mind is constantly moving from one thing to another?  Have you ever battled insomnia due to the fact that you could not seem to shake a particular issue or task from your brain?  If either of those situation seem all too familiar, you may be experiencing "monkey mind."  "Monkey mind" is a Buddhist term meaning unsettled or restless.  It is also a concept recently referenced in Dr. Alejandro Junger's book, Clean.  
In his journey to overall wellness, Junger refused medicine to treat what was diagnosed as a chemical imbalance.  He felt that if he just better understood where his thoughts were coming from he would be able to overcome this hurdle.  After extensive research, Junger discovered the idea of "monkey mind" via an Eastern Philosophy Book and instituted mediation into his life as a remedy.
In an effort to give your busy mind a vacation, try these meditation techniques today!
