mastering the monkey mind
our minds rarely pause to savor the present moment. like monkeys swinging through the forest, wildly from tree to tree, chattering and screeching, our highly developed, heavy and superactive brain hardly ever stops shooting electric signals. chattering about failure, worries and self-desctructive thoughts. this negativity keeps us wasting the moments of our lives in a back and forth race between what was and what might be.
yoga is so much more than putting your body in unknown and bizarre, shapes (although thats obviously the fun part and i wont even start about the physical benefits...) - we are truly focused on the here and now, whilst experiencing inner and outer strength as well as recognizing and accepting limitations without judgement of ourselfs or the ones surrounding us.
via yoga and meditation we can accomplish an artful approach to living, a way of applying skills and awareness to all aspects of life, including relationships, work, personal evolution and self-care. through yoga we learn to cultivate positivity, self-love and to live in the here and now - mastering the monkey mind.
ps - i adore monkeys. no disrespect.
