Puppy Mind

Maybe you have heard of "monkey mind": the aspect of our minds that tends to be busy, grasping after thoughts. The image of a monkey might not be as compelling for you if you haven't seen monkeys in real life. Recently, a student of mine came up with an alternative metaphor: puppy mind! This short meditation is an invitation to let go of trying to control your puppy mind and simply to let it play.

Super outlook/meditation

Thank you for offering this thought provoking and fun meditation. I resonated with the parts of me who are curious and sniffing things. And also biting down on (in my case a stick not a toy) and am unable for a while to let it go. Again thank you.
