How To Stop Your Monkey Mind | How To Meditate

This talk goes deep into WHY your mind may be overly active during meditation. I also share some helpful tips on how to remedy this in both the short term and the long term.

What I have found through my own personal experience and working with clients, friends, family, and meditators in general is this simple truth... When we have stored trauma, pain, and suffering in the emotional, mental, and physical body... We get stuck in our heads. Get in your body... get OUT of your head!

Thanks Robbie, it's so helpful to have this clear description of our mind/body and the physical and emotional blockages that that often feel like barriers to going deeper into meditation. It's been about 6 months since I began a daily meditation practice and I can attest that all of the tips you mention here have helped me find deeper connection and the pay off is remarkable!
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on bringing energy "up, through Gaia" as well as down in through the soul star and crown. I've heard reference to an "Earth Star Chakra" residing below the root chakra as a source of energy and deep connection to mother earth. Also practicing bringing that energy up while simultaneously calling down the energy from our spirit star to meet in the middle at the heart and mingle there which, for me, creates a lovely yin/yang image to mind and helps create a feeling of balance.

Peace, brother!
