Help Distracted Patients Meditate and Focus Better with the Stop Monkey Mind Script

Monkey mind refers to the phenomenon of wandering, distracted thoughts that occur during meditation or deep focus sessions. The experience limits individuals' ability to fully commit to  mindful and brain-training activities, preventing them from receiving the full benefits of these sessions.

The Stop Monkey Mind Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help individuals identify, prevent, and rectify times when their minds begin to wander during meditative sessions.

The script begins with a brief pre-talk that defines monkey mind and explains how it can hinder progress and benefits of deep focus.

The client is assured that monkey mind is a natural occurrence that happens to everyone. They are reminded that meandering thoughts can bring natural benefits, such as fostering creativity, encouraging memory consolidation, and promoting mental wellbeing.

The goal of the session is not to eliminate all occurrences of monkey mind, but rather to limit its presence during specific activities. The client is reassured that hypnosis can help them develop the tools to overcome monkey mind during times when it's not beneficial.

The induction portion of the script with an extended focus on breath. The client is asked to take 10 deep breaths and focus solely on counting them during the exhale.

Once that is completed, the client is assured that experiencing monkey mind during the exercise is natural and useful. They are reminded that the session will help them to identify when monkey mind is useful and when it isn't. Embedded commands direct the client to "develop a single point of focus" and "become present."

The trancework session further explores how to identify and feel meandering thoughts. Deep within a hypnotic state, the client is shown how to appreciate the value of monkey mind while the unconscious mind is subtly trained to turn it off when needed.
