Tame Your Monkey Mind: Yoga Practices for Enhanced Focus

• The 'monkey mind' metaphor for restlessness has ancient roots in Buddhist and Yogic traditions, predating the digital era.
• Patanjali's Yoga Sutras classify unfocused mind states as Kshipta (scattered), Vikshipta (distracted), and Mudha (dull).
• Yoga offers practical techniques like Kapalabhati, Full Yogic Breathing, and Nispanda Bhava to shift mind states.
• Kapalabhati moves the mind from tamas (lethargy) to rajas (activity), invigorating and overcoming mental exhaustion.
• Full Yogic Breathing (Pranayama) transitions the mind from rajas to sattva (clarity), enhancing concentration and meditation.
