How to get rid of internal dialogue

Through my experiences of who I am not. I had internal dialogue. Don't get me wrong, all my
voice. But I figured out how to stop it. You experience who you are not when happening. You can
then create more of who you are not by thinking intentionally, to become who you are. Internal
dialogue is thought turned into word faster than you can think. To stop unwanted internal dialogue
you can think of more thoughts. Thoughts that don't turn into words. Internal dialogue will stop.
Bringing you more thoughts than words. Then you can feel more at ease and tension can go away.
Then you can feel more at ease to go back to who you are, inside. Or you can use the illusion of
ignorance to solve it. Ignoring it. Or keep yourself occupied on one task at a time. When you
observe your thoughts, you get to the fundamental core of your "issues." So if anyone out there
deals with any internal dialogue that occurs at an unconscious level, then that is how you can get
rid of it. I've cured myself by doing this. Sometimes just surrendering to what is, will not get rid of
it. It's the thought process that should change. You can surrender to what is and feel peace, with it
still going on internally. It won't bother you if you surrender and accept the present moment.

Trying to stop internal dialogue is like trying to put wind in a box.

Instead, simply shift your awareness into the silent open space within.

I suppose with less internal dialogue there is more room for monologue? :)

Xan that works as well. There are a lot of different techniques into stopping internal dialogue. Your
way works as well too. Just using the 10th illusion of ignorance works too. To simply stay present
and ignore it. It's the "though process" that should be changed. This is just one technique on how
to do it, and it works as well. Another way would be to focus your attention inside your body, but
they key is to not create disunity between mind, body, spirit. Observing your thoughts gets to the
core of the issue. It can manifest with just one thought that triggers a stream of thoughts into
words. My thinking thoughts, you are changing your thought process as well. You will receive
more thoughts instead of thoughts turned into words. Key is for thought process to change. Any
way of doing that will work. Your technique works too.

Xan and also sometimes internal dialogue can make one anxiety ridden. Which makes it harder to
just focus on the silence inside. Depending on what level you are at. Sometimes your advise is
easier said than done. When I am fully conscious I always focus on that silence if it occurs. When
one unconsciously manifests internal dialogue, one might not be able to focus on the silence
because one might become unconscious or anxiety. To focus on the stillness inside you would have
to focus on your breathing first. To bring tension away. Then focus on the stilllness. It all depends
on how conscious a person is in my opinion.

It's pretty simple really. Ambiguous things always sound best, because it causes the imagination
to invent flights of fancy, and the simplictic and practical told in clear everyday language is just too
bland, so reducing the internal dialogue is a matter of simplicity and practicality... pretyy boring
ay?

Yes it is with simplicity. Just stay Present. Surrender to what is. Simple, I'm just sharing other
tools as well.

That's cool... but 'just stay present' and 'surrender to what is' are like slogans that dont say
anything... to me such sayings are completely meaningless... same as xan's obscure space within.
That's why I was saying how it sounds soooo spiritualized, but nothing practical is offered. It's
pointless offering the simple and practical isn't it, because the ambiguous sounds way more
appealing.

I understand what you're saying Gem. It does make sense to those who have been there but not
to those that can't understand. Like if I said, "Well just picture a Lorry in your mind." If you've
never seen a Lorry, how would you picture it?
Let's see if I can use words to help.
Focusing on breath was a good example by moke. Finding something that has no emotional or
physical attachment to it. Breath. This small focus on just observing your breathing, not changing
it, not trying to breathe more or less, but just keep returning your focus to that automatic body
function. You can also listen to your heart. Put in earplugs and just listen to your blood circulating
and your heart pumping. (this can tend to freak some people out but it is another automatic body
repetition)
The space within is to focus your thoughts on something that isn't something. Like a blackness.
This takes a LOT of practice but you can try adding something. IE: seeing the word LOVE printed
on a black background.

As your mind starts to wander, bring it back to that black sheet with the word LOVE in pink, or red
or whatever you wish.
Does that help?

If that internal dialogue is negative, demeaning or condescending, then the book "How to Tame
Your Grimlen" by Rick Carson might be really helpful. My husband used the book and found it
really helpful and it actually helped our relationship.

I'm the one helping actually, and it was effective too...

Greetings..
Find a comfortable place to sit or stand, understand that your intention is for a still mind, then..
extend your index fingers as if 'pointing', while the rest of your fingers, hand, and body are
relaxed.. the extended index finger should feel some slight tension along the 'palm-side', relax the
rest of the body comfortably, and.. see what happens.. let me know if you don't mind.. This
practice is best understood, initially, in a relaxed state, but it is equally effective under any
circumstances..
Be well..

Gee Gem... For me it was ultimately practical and simple, learning how to shift my attention away
from the chattering mind by breathing into the quiet open space that is inherent within everyone.
If it seems obscure this only comes from lack of experience... yet.
For Moke... In my view it's important to consider what your goal is. Is it to just stop the dialogue
and get a little peace of mind... or to experience what you are beyond the mind. I know what you
answer is, but I wanted to raise the question.

hmm, no I just think those words surrender to what is and present is easier said than done. But
the core issue of a problem or issue is resistance. I would say the simplistic ways are the best. If
one hears those words for the first time, it wouldn't click in. I just go with the flow now. Another
way for me to stay happy, is to "love all emotions." No actually the noise is not the way I like to
cope. It depends on how much one is aware or conscious of what they are doing in my opinion. I
choose without noise. The stillness and silence. Which that I feel right now.

Gem I am aware of the simplicity, but another may not. Another may be used to the noise, and to
help people or their level you have to be able to relate to someone on their level. I always
practice simplicity with everything. It's just another may not. Another may need noise to stop
noise to get to the point to feel the silence. Not all of my threads and posts are directly related to
where I am now, but what I have been through in the past.
