Ever since I could remember, whenever I would sit down to meditate, I would last no more than 10 minutes. Why just 10 minutes? Well, one of two things would happen…either my mind would over-function or it would under-function. In the over-function mode, it would rattle off a to-do list that could fill an 8 x 11, single space Word document (which is something that most of us are familiar with). It’s what’s known as the “monkey mind”.
