Quieting the Monkey Brain on the Journey to Enlightenment


Listen Later

Did you know that only 3% of the world’s population is dancing around ‘enlightenment’ as a way of being?That's according to Alan Davidson, the best selling author of the multi award winning book, Body Brilliance: Mastering Your Five Vital Intelligences. He claims that as the number of enlightened people grows another 3 or 4% the problems that plague humanity now will dramatically shift. "As 10% of the world’s population shifts into full enlightened consciousness,” he says “a tipping point of transformation will make life on earth a very different experience.” In today’s episode we talk about how we can play a role in raising the collective conscious by learning to quiet the monkey brain and listen to our soul voice. I argue that the way to enlightenment is on a path through the forest. 

Highlight’s from this episode:

The monkey brain keeps you living in the past or fretting about the future.

The monkey brain prevents you from being present.

Being present in the now is what is required to achieve enlightenment.

Connecting with nature helps to create presence of mind

Only when you are present will you hear your the guidance of you soul voice 

Lau Tzu: “At the centre of your being you have the answer. You know who you are and you know what you want.”
