Calm the Mind
In the context of Tai Chi the term 'monkey mind' is used to represent or suggest the 'mind' or the type of character that will not settle or stay still. One of the objectives (so as to achieve another objective) is to settle or still the mind; therefore monkey mind is 'repulsed'. Please note that it is not 'warded off', it is repulsed. Furthermore it is never so repulsed just once but a minimum of three times; hence 'Repulse Monkey (at least!) Three Times'.
Notice!
Please consult your health care practitioner before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
Tips
Keep your breathing deep and coordinated with movements.
Practice the exercises slowly and without tension to increase the flow of 'chi' - your life energy. The results will calm the mind and benefit mental health.

Repulse the Monkey
Points of Interest
Repulse is one of the most obvious examples of 'Defensive/Offensive' (i.e. both) applications within the Yang Form.
Repulse Monkey sequence appears only twice within the whole long form - first in part two; about as far into part two as the Brush Left/Right Knee sequence is into part one, and again in the ensemble that is part three.
