waiting for thoughts part 2

I just finished today's 20 minute meditation session. How I did it ? First, sit in a silent place and say to yourself that all that you wanted in your life for which you worked all day long since so many years are just obstacles and you should pu them aside for the next 30 minutes. Your mind will become more and more placid, calm, silent and still like a windless landscape. Your inner chattering will drop and no agiation will arise in you ..you will enter in to the no-desire , no-greed, no-planning zone. you will neither think of fuutre or ruminating things of the past. You want nothing and just want to sit with you in silence. I have already spoke of how I waited for thoughts but I forget to say that I began my meditation session by noting mentally those thoughts slowly and steadily, one by one even going back to catch one who managed to escape from my torch light. So, this step is essential and no body insists on this crucial step of noting down on a paper or inside your mental notepad your incoming thoughts. Thus, those who have tried my method will be rewarded if they try to pen down their iniital thoughts for say 10 first minutes and than proceed to the space of nothingness where slowly thoughts get reduced and reduced until it is just fantastic exhilarating, revigorating and making you feel completely tranquil and peaceful. You will feel as if you have got a nightful of happy sleep eventhough you have spent only 30 minutes in deep state of desirelessness and thoughtlessness. You can imagine as if it rains and than as you become more aware of rain water pouring, that pouring stops progressively until you see some drops continue to fall but they will also stop and silence will emerge thereafter. OR imagine your thoughts are birds entering in to a cloud and disappear after doing so. slowly they will cross one by one and enter one by one in to your inner space until they dissolve themselves because of your simple observation of their presence , you can take off their presence inside you ! let bliss fill you and make you see the world with new eyes.
