"MEDITATE and UNDO the MISCHIEF done by the MONKEY MIND"

We all know the monkey mind—that restless, chattering voice that jumps from thought to thought, creating mischief in our inner peace. Meditation is our tool to tame this wild mind and find the stillness within.

Understanding the Monkey Mind

The monkey mind represents our untrained consciousness—always moving, always seeking, never satisfied. It creates stories, worries about the future, regrets the past, and rarely allows us to be present in the moment.

But through the practice of meditation, we can UNDO this mischief. We can train our minds to find peace, clarity, and connection to our highest Self.

Meditation Techniques for Stillness

In Stillness Power® practice, meditation is not about forcing the mind to be empty—it's about observing and gradually training it:

1

Breath Awareness

Simply watch your breath without trying to change it

2

Mantra Practice

Use sacred sounds to give the mind a positive focus

3

Body Scanning

Move awareness through the body to anchor attention

4

Loving-Kindness

Send compassion to yourself and others

The Journey to Inner Peace

Meditation is not about achieving some perfect state—it's about developing a loving relationship with your own mind. Each time you notice the monkey mind and gently return to your practice, you are strengthening your spiritual muscles.

With consistent practice, you'll find that the monkey mind settles naturally, and profound stillness emerges. This is where healing happens, where wisdom arises, and where you connect with your true nature.
