Many of us can relate to the feeling of unwanted and intrusive thoughts flying across our minds like howler monkeys swinging from vine to vine in the rain forest. As it turns out, we have approximately seventy thousand separate thoughts each day. In addition, our minds are only present in this moment for about 3 seconds before we wander off either forward or backward, filling our precious present moments with past experiences or anticipating what the future may bring. The goods news is that with rigorous training the mind can be taught to think and behave the way we want it to. With diligent practice, we can become a "mind Jedi." A calm mind is a powerful mind.
