darren_strangerAnother observation while meditating this morning:
At one time while i was sitting, my mind started flying off into different thoughts, chattering away like noisy monkeys. I decided to try treating the racket in my head like i would an external noise - not trying to ignore or suppress it but just watching it with an attitude of: "it may be noisy there in my thoughts, but on the inside my mind is calm". To my surprise, i did find my mind becoming calm, even as the chattering thoughts continued on before dying away.
Something to experiment with further.
