Monkey at large<\/b><\/h3>\n

How much influence do you have over the state of your mind? In all likelihood, you feel you have next to none. You don\u2019t wish to get angry, but you get angry. You have zero desire to get depressed or tense or sad, but all of that happens anyway. This is the infamous \u201cmonkey mind.\u201d<\/a> Thus dubbed because, were you to bring a wild monkey home and let it roam freely, it would create problems where previously there were no problems. It would create messes where there had been none. It would pull down all the decorations, tear up the furniture, and scatter sofa cushions all over the place. All this, despite the fact that, actually, the monkey could just as easily come in, sit on a comfortable chair, and relax. If it were hungry, it could have a snack. The monkey really wouldn\u2019t need<\/i> to do anything.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″ lms_has_clearfix=”0″ offset=”vc_col-lg-2 vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row u_row_style=”1″ lms_row_has_bk_offset=”1″ lms_row_bk_columns_offset=”0″ u_row_enrollment_restriction=”0″][vc_column lms_has_clearfix=”0″][vc_single_image image=”105955″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1660124934340{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_class=”hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”105954″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1660125146923{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_class=”visible-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row u_row_style=”1″ lms_row_has_bk_offset=”0″ lms_row_bk_columns_offset=”0″ u_row_enrollment_restriction=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/12″ lms_has_clearfix=”0″ offset=”vc_col-lg-2 vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ lms_has_clearfix=”0″ offset=”vc_col-lg-8″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1660300079629{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}” el_class=”subtittle-open-post”]<\/p>\n

The weak chin conundrum<\/b><\/h3>\n

The mind is the same, habitually creating problems out of nothing<\/a>. The mind gets thrown off-balance by minor problems; it loves to take a tiny issue and blow it up into something the size of a blimp, creating more and more tension. We get bound up in our fixations, and we don\u2019t know how to relax. At work, we\u2019re so focused on the small annoyances that come with our job that we completely miss the big-picture problems. When we\u2019re studying, we find it hard to absorb new information, as there\u2019s no space in our minds for it. While driving, we\u2019re in a rush; our attention is on who is in front of us and how we can get past them, even though that makes it easy for us to get into accidents (wild monkeys!). Our fixations are legion. For example, many of us get really uptight about the way we look. With a rigidly fixated mind, you gaze into the mirror, and guess what? Even if your face is utterly flawless, if you stare at it with this attitude for long enough, eventually you\u2019ll find a flaw. You\u2019ll start obsessing over the idea that, for instance, you have a weak chin. The concept of this \u201cflaw\u201d comes to occupy more and more space in your mind. After about a month, you\u2019re looking at your reflection and thinking, \u201cI barely have a chin at all,\u201d even though that\u2019s not the case. Your mind has created a problem out of thin air \u2014 and it\u2019s one hundred percent sure that it\u2019s right!\u00a0 Perceptions are created by the mind, and the mind believes those projections, so it becomes a vicious cycle. Understanding this process is known as \u201cprecise knowledge,\u201d or prajna.<\/i><\/p>\n

Calm abiding<\/h3>\n

The Tibetan phrase for calm abiding meditation<\/a> is shi-ne<\/i>. Shi<\/i> means \u201cto pacify,\u201d referring to the taming of the mind. Ne<\/i> means \u201cto abide,\u201d or \u201cto rest,\u201d implying that the mind can settle. When you practice calm abiding, or shamatha, your mind becomes more pliable and flexible and comes to rest naturally on its own. Think of it in terms of treating illness. You can take medicine for a specific illness, but a medicine intended to target, say, your lungs might inadvertently harm your liver and kidneys. And the medicine doesn\u2019t bring forth the natural strength and potency that\u2019s available in your body in the first place. On the other hand, if you exercise and eat nutritious food, that brings forth the natural strength in your body, so that illness can be overcome, and future illnesses are prevented from arising. This is the reason for practicing shamatha, calm abiding: to bring forth the potency and strength that is in the mind to begin with. Similarly, depending upon external causes in order to feel peaceful is like taking medicine to quickly relieve an illness. If you rely on playing video games or jogging to self-soothe, for instance, that\u2019s going to be okay until the gaming console breaks or you twist your ankle. By practicing meditation, you can awaken an inner peace that does not depend on external causes and conditions.<\/p>\n
