Finding Peace and Infinite Wisdom Within Your Monkey Mind

We often feel we are a prisoner to our own minds. We are constantly wrestling with our thoughts and hate ourselves for our negative emotions. We either try to think our way out of the emotion, numb ourselves with busyness or project our self-hate onto others. The whole time we are doing everything we can to avoid our emotions at all costs. But the truth is there is infinite wisdom that lies deep within our emotions once we allow ourselves to be present with them. It is through meditating on these uncomfortable emotions that we find the peace and answers we have been looking for all along. Enjoy this week’s podcast and learn how to not only find peace with your monkey mind but see the invaluable wisdom it has to offer.
