A New Way to Calm the Mind - A Monk's Approach
A New Way to Calm the Mind - A Monk's Approach
Overthinking is a problem many people are now facing more and more. There are both positives and negatives to living in a capitalist world; however, a big side effect is having an active mind. Because of its nature, the mind is always wandering and very active. The issue then becomes - how do you turn in off? Here at Papae in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the monks make it a daily practice to get out in nature and work with their hands. They switch off the intellectual part and allows the mind to rest. This is one of our solution to overthinking and having an active mind. When one gets out in nature, slowly the mind begins to settle. Nature automatically course corrects. #nature #monks #minimalism
