So what is it to calm a Monkey in your mind? Most who are aware of what that is goes by another name called the ego, most humans who live in a state of being run by the ego and do not care about who or how they harm others, they would be considered with a low level of consciousness. Those humans only care for there own selfishness are run by there ego and those folks are usually almost always broke, not just cash poor but also broke emotionally as well as spiritually. You can observe the signs of this threw out the day if you just observe others without using any judgment, fixed on there phone and social media or whatever distraction to avoid dealing with themselves as they can’t function without being distracted. 

  Being present in order to transcend the untrue requires dedication and commitment to change or exchange old behavior as anyone who ever has quit smoking or quit drinking. Whether they go to a 12 step group like Alcoholics Anonymous or whatever that solution is Yoga, health club, running, changing your friends may be a complete overhaul in the mind-body system. Shifts are rare, rarer still if someone meets another who can show them the old way is not so healthy and continue to rise up in there own consciousness and rise to a higher level of true joy, love, peace, is even more rare.

  Integrity is a word some humans have no clue what that single word means if you can believe. Just over a year ago, there was a business deal and 2 of the 3 people had no clue as to what it means. The 3rd man had a meeting regarding this halfway threw there transaction so that the final end results would create more business for all concerned, well blah blah you guessed it from there very own choice they can’t handle the idea of being honest so the 3rd man disappeared and for good reason. Like all monkeys they can be trained to do many things, after all, have we all not been trained as well 0-7 all children get a program parents give names, schools educate an idea of you fill your answer here…….., now I am writing from experience that if science is now only catching up too what yoga or other ancient teachings traditions already new then maybe we should at least make more effort on our higher choice to be an example of grace in action?  

  The monkey mind can be calmed and soothed by a little yoga, meditation if only 10- 15 minutes per day and deep breath work, take 25 or so big deep breaths and at the end exhale and hold for 1-2 minutes.
