The Human Problem Of Overthinking

Many of us are playing ping pong, or tennis with the mind. The mind hits a thought to you over the net and you fire back, dearly hoping to hit a wonderful winner which ends the game forever. It never happens like that. The problem of mind is not solved with more mind. You will never hit that final winner, how do you end the game forever? DROP THE RACKET!

Come along and find out how to drop your racket and don't play the mind's game.

Excellent lesson for me. Showed me how I could’drop the racquet’ of the story I am telling myself. I relate it to a story that I have been telling myself about an incident that happened in a small seniors community where I live. I just ‘dropped my raquet’ ! What a great lesson to carry forward in my life. 🩷

Thank you for sharing your teachings Surya. I find them useful and practical. I really liked the melon imagination exercise. It helps also to remind us that our body reacts to our thoughts and imagination. Bye bye 👋

Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Always great to hear over and over again.
May I ask what type of meditation you practice? Shamata or Vipassana or…? Thank you so much 😊

Simply expressed and so accessible. Thank you Happy Buddha! Just what I needed.

Helpfully down to earth. Inspiring. And, no distracting music - 🙌
