Regardless of whether the thought is good or bad, worthwhile not worthwhile, welcome or unwelcome, keep observing each one of them, but do not give any personal reaction to any one of them.

Do not cling to a good thought or avoid and fight against a bad thought. Let all thoughts come, stay and go at their own natural pace.

The moment you stop responding to your thoughts, they will quickly start getting settled and you will be able to experience what is called as “No Thought Awareness”.
