Releasing The Clenched Fist

Releasing The Clenched Fist

Only four or so decades ago, it was popular for wealthy travellers to leave India with a pet monkey. Monkey catchers would dig a small pit, pop in some fruits and nuts and covered it with a heavy slab that had a tiny hole, big enough to fit a monkey’s arm. The monkey would come along, stick their hand in, grasp a delicious snack only to realise that their fist would not fit through the tiny hole. In would swoop the monkey catcher and voila! Another monkey to be sold. Had the monkey simply let go of the food before the monkey catcher swooped in, it would be free.

What are you holding onto? What can you let go of that will bring about more progression, more freedom?

When we practice Vedic Meditation, we learn to let go of stress, tension, fatigue and become less attached to the specific timing and outcome of things. It is an effortless technique in which we surrender to the natural intelligence of the body and achieve a state of deep rest and inner stability.

Being effortless in the practice, enables us to let go of the things that are holding us back from a life of less stress and more ease
