Summary

Hope for all those who want to meditate but feel they can't because they think too much. zMy mind is so busy, I really need to meditate.y zMy mind is so busy, theres no way I can meditate.y Familiar dilemma? These days just about all of us know we should be meditating, but that doesnt make it any easier to sit down and face the repetitive thoughts careening around our brainsseemingly pointless, sometimes hurtful, nearly always hard to control. Rather than quitting meditation or trying to wall off the monkey mind, Ralph De La Rosa suggests asking yourself a question: If you were to stop demonizing your monkey mind, would it have anything to teach you? In a roundabout way, could repetitive thoughts be pointing us in the direction of personaland even societaltransformation? Poignant and entertaining, The Monkey Is the Messenger offers a range of evidence-based, somatic, and trauma-informed insights and practices drawn from De La Rosas study of neuroscience and psychology and his long practice of meditation and yoga. Here at lasta remedy for all those who want to meditate but suppose they cant because they think too much
