In my practice I'm not really concerned with the thoughts... to me they're just imaginary things that happen by... I find they have no place in meditation but sometimes they come like a mighty stream and have to find their natural end, but I'm glad when they've run their course. I generally just stop thinking, and be, and sometimes I just feel my breathing or I feel through the body relaxing as I go. I don't bother with visualision , but on occasion visions occur spontaneously... which is nice for a while.

To me, there's a way of putting the thoughts away, like I start laying them on the ground below me. I've heard of people putting them on shelves or filing them... same effect, put them away somewhere. Less thoughts/more space... so yea, it's kinda like stopping thinking, but it's more like stop looking at the thoughts, because they are still there when I get back to them later.
