Having trouble meditating? Just CAN'T visualize? Can you NOT focus; is your mind a wanderer? Well, this doesn't completely remove visualization but it hacks away at at least 90% of it; better even more, it's simple. |

That's a good start for some mind-calming techniques, however it is important to keep in mind that everyone's mind works differently. Some people have the ability to just sit and silence their mind naturally. Others require a bit of practice, or perhaps a specific thing that works just for them. |

i modified a technique years ago that i was introduced to while attending the dallas ft worth zen center around 1985. i was told to visualize thoughts as clouds and let em drift out of sky of minds eye. i modified to visualize thoughts as noise birds / crows / gackles.. i then saw em all in a tree and i visualized firing off a shotgun in my imagination and watching them fly away. works to this day. occasionally a thought / bird comes back but they quickly leave as i reload and laugh.... |

I focus on listening to whatever sounds reach my ears. There are almost always more than one sound, and when you try to maintain awareness on all of them simultaneously, the mind chatter shuts down. This is basically Castededa's technique. Be gentle with yourself. The voice in your head is your ego not wanting to lose control. Getting agitated and telling yourself to shut up only fuels that control and makes things worse. Instead try looking at the gyrations of your ego chatter as humorous, "Oh, there it goes again, trying to distract me with its trivial concerns. Such a futile attempt. I know perseverence will win in the end." Also avoid coffee, strenuous exercise, video games, and anything else that cranks your adrenaline. |

I just don't get why some people ask you to imagine things; isn't that just a good way to start a chain-reaction of thoughts? |
