Someone wants to take up meditation, but they take themselves to be one of those people for whom it just doesn’t work because they think too much. And they give it up in frustration after an hour or a couple weeks or a year. But though it is often taken to be the scourge of meditators, repetitive and excessive thinking is an experience common to everyone. The Buddha famously called it “monkey mind,” and that term has become nearly a household phrase. At worst, when people sit down to meditate and invariably find themselves distracted, subtle and not-so-subtle forms of self-aggression and self-re- crimination tend to ensue over an experience that is as natural as it unpreventable. At best, the monkey mind is viewed as an obstruction to a deeper way of being; something to ignore, a pest to move beyond. Such an idea often crops up in today’s mind- fulness culture, in which a myth prevails that meditation is about “emptying out thoughts” or “shutting off the mind.” The truth is, Author says Ralph De La Rosa, repetitive thinking is a natural function of the human organism that, like all other aspects of our being, RALPH DE LA ROSA is a therapist and meditation teacher serves a purpose — one that is bound up with the activity of trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TFCBT) awakening.
