    Mine is going to be an overall general reply. I'm sorry, I haven't
    the time at work (grins) to post more detail.

    I recall about 23 years ago when I was first attempting
    visualizations and thought control that I ran across some good yoga
    texts.

    There are some very helpful different methods used.

    Chopping down the tree;
    when a thought occurs, don't follow it willy nilly wherever it will
    lead, but... follow it to where it begins from. When you have an
    idea of where the thought came from, chop it down as if you had an
    axe in your hand (your will's hand) and you will see immediately a
    thought occur just before where you just chopped. Keep up this
    exercise always chopping further and further down the tree. The tree
    chops by the way clear through and chopped off and tumbles away with
    one swing.

    Thought balloons.
    Locate one thought and follow it up, form a baloon bubble around it
    and follow it floating into the air/sky. Keep focusing on this
    thought bubble.

    The benefits of this type of meditation is that it has no other
    focus to it. Therefore it won't (as perhaps image filled tatvaw)
    lead to manifestations of other thoughts and images. It is simply
    you working with your thought and your will. Applying your will.

    This worked wonders with me as I was trying all kinds of other
    methods and nothing seemed to work, mostly I'd always get frustrated
    and in touch with that emotion only, or angry, or I'd fall asleep.

    Hope this helps some.
    Chuck
