Stopping the internal dialogue.

[Turin Otzaki]

Think so, I've used the way reflections of sun on water dancing about halt my attention into The present. Not for a looooong time though, 5 or 10 mins. I like to use visuals in nature to stop my mind into the present. I really don't think DjM meant us to directly try and bully the mind into stopping thinking, in my experience connecting with the expansive awarenesss in which thought s occurs is as good as stopping them, happens though non fixation on them. I'm quite +%*+ at this though, I get caught up every hour of every day. But it's my life's work to remember.
