If your mind moves ten times in a minute, keep doing it the same way every time. slowly the mind will move less, all the time tho you are meditating.
Right on Peteyzen!

this could explain a few things, lol !

hmm, a suggestion just came to mind ... if one is wanting to empty their mind ...

try a visual of putting your thoughts in a trash basket, then empty the basket.. voila !

empty basket, empty mind

just don't shred those thoughts, in case you want/ need to retrieve them later

A funny coincidence....... your Avatar is the same symbol on a little Native pot my daughter recently gave me~

"The Secret Of Letting Go by Guy Finley"

"A Course In Miracles by Foundation For Inner Peace"

are a couple of Great Tools for this...."The Mystic Path To Cosmic Power by Vernon Howard" is another....

The conditioned thought patterns take some time to dissolve. Will you work as long as it takes? Will you stop short because a certain amount of success feels good enough? Will continue THROUGH the rough spots which can and MUST surface to build you up?

You Choose!

Yes... they are an escape from thinking this mess the world is in is the only reality. It's the knowing of Reality that eventually heals it all.
