Many people think that attaining the thoughtless state is difficult. Here is a powerful meditation to get a glimpse of the thoughtless state. This exercise shall help you attain the thoughtless state, even if it is momentary. It is called The Thought Numbering Meditation.

In this meditation, for becoming thoughtless, thoughts are destroyed by giving sequential numbers. Begin the meditation by watching every thought.

Now start numbering every thought. As soon as one thought arises, number it in your mind as ‘one?. As the second thought arises, number it as ‘two.? In this way, continue counting the thoughts.

Sit quietly even when there are no thoughts. If this thought arises that, “At this time I don?t have any thought”, then number this thought also because, “I don?t have any thought” is also a thought.

Don?t follow any thought. Just number it and leave it. Meditate in this manner for ten minutes. In between, if you forget which number you were on, just restart from the number one.

With this meditation, the number of thoughts will reduce drastically. There will be many moments when there are no thoughts – when you are waiting for thoughts or when there is a gap between two thoughts.
