Yes it’s my favorite technique as well. It has a high success rate if done properly but it does require a lot of concentration and effort. It’s also odd that even if you wanted to LD, your mind would find anything other than LD’ing to focus on. I guess my mind just doesn’t find LD’ing that interesting! But yes, that’s a good idea you mentioned of stopping for a moment if your mind wanders and then continuing again. Perhaps any means of calming your mind would become easier with practice as well.
