09/03/2011 10:41 am ET Updated Nov 03, 2011 The Buddha was the smartest psychologist I’ve ever read. More than 2,500 years ago he was teaching people about the human mind so that they might understand themselves better and discover that there was a way out of suffering. Buddha wasn’t a god or a messiah.Hanuman mind symbolizes monkey mind which is restless and never still.
Yet we can have control over it. We can’t control the world around us, but we can have control over our minds. With discipline we can tame the monkey �� During our yoga practice we may think our mind is less unsettled than at other times of the day, but but with deeper.

I find difficult to understand her accent
I spent, 30 years in new York but I didn’t have problem speaking to blacks in Bronx
I love your voice, it’s soothing and helpful! Thank you for this. ��
Thanks Bob! I do this three times a week (alternating with quiet meditation).
This meditation is fantastic!
9:04 to 9 09 will give you an indication of how she still identifies with her judgemental mind. Notice the expression on her face made with the words she says.
The overall impression from her facial expressions in general show that she has lived a life of pain and suffering. The problem is, it was INTENTIONAL! Brought about by misunderstanding of the teaching. The so called “lamas” have a lot of blame on their hands. Totally unnecessary.
I’ll train my monkey to sleep @ 9:00
Wake up @ 4:00– 5:00

can i reach turiya by doing japa with om and being aware of awareness at the same time?
I always envision This happening inside of my mind too. My favourite part is when the monkey sits down and is calm
Distractions at prayer?
If you are distracted ten thousand times, then you had ten thousand opportunities of returning to God. (cf., Fr.Thomas Keating)
Life in every breath, every cup of tea….. every life we take, “The way of the warrior ” The Last samurai (film)
I don’t know what I have stumbled Into but I am so thankful I have found this
Thank you for this gift, you’re so knowledgeable, I’ve shared this on mental health chatrooms, they really appreciate it, as do I
I want that bell at 1:31. where can I get one with that sound ie with long echo.
Okay, I want you to understand something for me. Your mind being “restless” is how ideas come about. You don’t really need to “train” your mind. Let it run free, just don’t do anything you know you’ll regret.
I really feel Good…. after watch your video…. Tq………Love u a lot……..
really really liked your tips Mindah. Thank you so very much:)
I love headspace it is relaxing and fun also check out calm light
Awesome interpretation of Mind as Monkey Mind, True Mind Can’t Stick on The Same Thought, Runs Here and There and all over Like Monkey, Thank You for Making Realization about Mind in the Monkey Way
This is one of the greatest blood pressure solution I have read “yumkum shocking guide” (G00GLE it). Simple language is utilized to write it, which means it is easy to understand and do. I strongly recommend this book for everyone wishing to lower her or his blood pressure level. I dropped my blood pressure below 120/80 using this plan.
The mind also is enlightened LEFT-HAND Tantra, the mind the body and the spirit are one take all of samsara into nivarna and it will be redeemed. That is also Buddhism.
I struggle to understand what the difference is between meditation and sleeping or watching television.
Gonna meditate underwater, gonna be fun
Edit: Not fun don’t try it.
I have found that sometimes I have some coughing (especially when doing group meditation). I have also noticed this when I work on some clients when I begin working on the head and neck or throat area (I am a massage therapist). Am I correct that it has something to do with the throat chakra?
are you crazy? that sounds incredible. so funny to watch, to hear & to understand it. your messages are so clear and focused. thanks a lot <3
Aaah, I have a human mind ty. God is not the author of confusion. Um bye bye confusion. Sholom

I was depressed 2011 for 3 months after I came out of it in 2017 I was completely lossed my controlling capacity then I did meditation I found my self what happened to me it’s very rare problem it’s very tuff to come out it
Thank you for these tips. I am actually novice to meditation. What you might say about introduction to meditation from Alan Watts (there are audios here on YouTube) and about use of mantras?
If you are distracted ten thousand times, then you had ten thousand opportunities of returning to God. (cf., Fr.Thomas Keating).
There is a reason we have a mind so we can communicate to fellow human beings. Telepathy is would unbearable to live with and we would be reacting only.
Wow. I like all your work and am having a real good intro into Buddhism

Tripitaka is fantastic on the Monkey mind.And Sandy and Pigsy too.
Hey Mindah, I hope you are well! There hasent been an upload from you in 2 years. I’m honestly such a big fan of your channel and your explanations, your so different from other Buddhist channels on YT, and I know you may be busy but honestly it would be great to see more videos from you! I’ve started to learn about Buddhism, and your channel has kept me motivated! Seriously Mindah, you are amazing! Sending lots of love from England ��
I’m studying best plans for focusing and discovered an awesome resource at Wilfs Blueprint System (google it if you are interested)
I’ve had trouble meditating lately. Thing start running through my mind-all positive-but listening to this guided meditation was the first time in awhile I was able to focus on quietness. Thank you.
Mason is going out for dinner tonight I have some stuff I’ll get there and pick up food I’ll get you there soon so I have some time
Thank you so much
You helped me realize I’ve been doing more than I thought
I have been having uncontrolled thoughts in randomized-intervals an for a moment I really thought I was losing my grip… I’ve beaten P.D (panic disorder) without benzodiazepine or medication in general but this is a whole new monster., it’s been scaring me, actually but when I do meditate, an I feel myself pushing thoughts out so I can find my center: I feel a lot better and in more control over my thoughts
You helped me realize that I am meditating; almost everything you said resonated with me an now I feel confident that I can keep practicing at “calming the monkey” ��♂️
You’re an amazing individual, Bob — thank you
^*Namaste*
I have struggled with finding clarity and racing thoughts that have kept me stuck, overwhelmed, unproductive, and broke. My sistah-friend Nyambura Jones-Ngigi sent me a video called Guided Meditation to Quiet and Tame the Monkey Mind. This changed things for me instantly!!!! I hope it will do great things for you too.
The biggest and most liberating take away for me is “Whether you know it or not, your thoughts are not actually you. You, the true Essence of You, You are the Observer of those thoughts.” “And when thoughts come up, don’t resist them. As soon as you become aware that you have those thoughts, acknowledge them, and let them drift on off to the side of your inner landscape, just like the clouds in the sky!” After practicing this guided meditation over again and again, I had a breakthrough. I became present to what is mine and not mine. I jumped on my laptop and started taking care of “my business.”
Peace on you beautiful soul. Excellent teaching. May everyone have peaceful, beautiful soul with mindfulness.
Most find it hard to believe because…they…built their mind on needing to believe…to understand
Hello Mindah. I just want you to know that merely watching your introductory videos on Bhuddism changed my mental state from depressed and angry to
calm and cheerful. If Bhuddist thought can be so powerful and rational, then
I think that it would be worthwhile to learn more. I live in Japan, on the island
of Shikoku, in Matsuyama City. Do you know of any Bhuddist organizations that
would welcome foreigners out here? I can read and speak Japanese.
she do a beautiful work. we need peopel like her to remeber us the thing we forget. when i was litle after seing 7 years in the tibet i was like 9 or 10 i feel such a deepp conection whit that culture and i star to think that in past life i was a monk for a long time i tough that was my call was became monk and live in the montain i was obssesed whit the idea to live in retreat in mountains for a while away from everyone i was constantely thinking about shave my head (know i love my hair ).. but whit the time at 13 of course i decided that film it was my call i change my mind but at 14 star to suffer from depretion.. i think is litle bit extreme to live away from everithing and i dont say that live in a monastery is easy.. but the best way to put yourself in trial is in on the everyday life wehn you chare your life whit people totally crazy and whit different point of views.. but i really admired the work of she does is amazing she is helping so much
Thank you for your wisdom. Don’t just sit there doing nothing meditate
Everytime I listen to the meditation audios, I forget to breathe a lot
Be aware & let it be…Thukche Che Mindah. Your video are always helpful.
Why can i not say in this comment what the video title says?
I am not allowed to discuss this video on this site because of the STUPID RIDICULOUS AI algortihm deleting my comments!!!!!!
I see now where she has been going wrong all these years from her description of how to do breath awareness. She has mistaken her mind activity for “awareness”. She also does not understand the importance of FULL relaxation, which can never be achieved if you are keeping the body erect.
The whole point of meditation is to bypass are senses. If you are constantly “activating” the tactile sense with small tensions in your muscles by sitting upright, you are defeating your whole purpose. It is like a tight rope walker using a pole for balance, with a heavy weight constantly changing positions along the pole.
