Thinking about not thinking....LOL Yeah, my flyer pulls that prank all the time too.
Not doing is good, agree. One of the most powerful is what I think I've heard of as called "not doing of the self": A way of cultivated a kind of whole body sense of self...like feeling the whole body as a sense of vibratory presence that is aware of itself amidst it surroundings. IT's not a "hard" awareness, necessarily...like trying to concentrate on any particular feature/sensation of awareness....its more of a soft, general, whole awareness that is a feeling of "presence" as they say...that is loose and able to go in any direction because it is directionless....something along those lines. This feeling/state for me seems to be the easiest to uphold because it seems fundamentally effortless...and yet is still effect in silencing the internal dialogue because it saturates the whole being, thus demands attention which becomes unavailable for inner dialog.
