Taming Our Monkey Mind (Insight, Detachment, Identity)

In Taming our Monkey Mind, Phyllis Krystal explains how we often allow ourselves to get trapped by our desires. She equates this behavior to the monkey who grabs a fistful of swats from a narrow-necked jar or ground. The fistful of candy is too big to go through the small opening and he can't run from the hunters because his fist is stuck in the jar. Impulsive, Curious, impatient, and driven by its sense, the monkey serves to illustrate how the undisciplined mind's attachments can become a prison. By taming our monkey mind- overcoming our greed and desire- we find the way to free ourselves from the material world so we can enter the world of the Divine. Sai Baba's insights are shared by the author along with her own growth techniques in this exciting and very practical book!
