Monkey Mind Retreat
Open Retreat exploring the barriers to going deeper in our meditation
Our system of practice begins with the stage of integration. In meditation, this involves being able to stay present and centred, not pulled off into discursive thought. However, even people who have practised meditation for years still sometimes get lost in stories and thought chains (prapancha in Sanskrit). For less experienced meditators this unhelpful tendency is often the main barrier to experiencing deeper levels of meditation. We shall take a good look at our distractions, exploring what drives them, and what we can do about our tendency to be carried off by them. Including lots of practical advice, and help for both less-experienced meditators and old hands to gain more reliable access to fulfilling states of mind.
