Book excerpt: An engaging, funny, and introductory guide for anyone whose overactive mind gets in the way of starting a regular meditation practice “My mind is so busy, I really need to meditate.” “My mind is so busy, there’s no way I can meditate.” Familiar dilemma? These days just about all of us know we should be meditating, but that doesn’t make it any easier to sit down and face the repetitive thoughts careening around our brains—seemingly pointless, sometimes hurtful, nearly always hard to control. Rather than quitting meditation or trying to wall off the monkey mind, Ralph De La Rosa suggests asking yourself a question: If you were to stop demonizing your monkey mind, would it have anything to teach you? In a roundabout way, could repetitive thoughts be pointing us in the direction of personal—and even societal—transformation? Poignant and entertaining, The Monkey Is the Messenger offers a range of evidence-based, somatic, and trauma-informed insights and practices drawn from De La Rosa’s study of neuroscience and psychology and his long practice of meditation and yoga. Here at last—a remedy for all those who want to meditate but suppose they can’t because they think too much.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The American educational system is the main fuel source of the Little Engine That Could of U. S. society, as it has taught us how to train our attention but has not taught us how to train our attention well. #2 The issue of overstimulation and continuous distraction is as old as the hills. The Buddha could have told you about Killingsworth and Gilbert’s findings 2,500 years ago: Nothing can hurt you more than an untrained mind, and nothing can help you more than a well-trained mind. #3 In meditation, some people try to kill their monkey minds, by thinking that the thinking mind is of no value and just a bunch of garbage on repeat. However, this contradicts a key tenet of neuroscience: the brain can’t not be doing something. #4 The space between things is a key that can unlock the mystery of how we experience the mind and how we might bring it under our own auspices. It’s often called the third thing. Everything we experience involves a subject and an object, but the quality of our relationship to those objects determines the nature of everything we think, feel, say, and take in from the world around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychotherapist offers tools for self-care and mindfulness during trying times, demonstrating how difficult emotions—anger, fear, shame—can be used to fuel personal and social change. From politics, climate change, and the economy to racism, sexism, and a hundred other kinds of biases—things have never felt so urgent and uncertain. We want to take action, but so many of us struggle with overwhelm and burnout. And on top of it all, we get so many messages telling us to relax, to “let it go” and feel some other way about things. We’d like to think that emotional intelligence and mindfulness will help—but why do these approaches so often fall short in fever-pitch moments? In his warm, funny, streetwise style, Ralph De La Rosa offers tools for coping in contentious times. Full of insights and practices addressing everything from trauma triggers to privilege guilt and the art of saying no, Don't Tell Me to Relax brings the welcome news that our thoughts and emotions are not the enemy. Rather, when met skillfully, they can light the way to self-empathy, social understanding, and an activism that has room for both inner and outer work.
