    I would suggest not "struggling" so much, but more like letting
    them go. ( sound familiar? thats cause it works! :) ) Of course
    thats easier said then done. Did you have the same problems with
    sound and pictures when you were just observing your thoughts in the
    begining? Im guessing if you did, it was less than the problems your
    having now, since ( for me anyway ) EOM isnt like smacking away all
    my thoughts, but like a combination of the first 2 exercises, being
    one pointed on nothing, and just hanging back and leting it happen
    and not geting involved like the observation of thought exercise.
    Got kinda off track here. What im trying to say is that a thought is
    a thought, and it might be that since a sound and a picture is more
    enticing to think about and ponder its harder to put aside. But the
    main key for EOM for me was practice, practice, practice, since the
    more you do it, the better you get at it. So certain things may be
    harder to get out of your head, but eventualy, with consistent
    practice, this exercise just ges easier and easier, thoughts come
    less and less, until you got it. Hope this helped.
