    Ave,

    Have past experience, but am working on Step 1 on IIH, as have just of late
    fortunately stumbled upon Bardon's work. So, when exercising "thought
    control" meditations in the past, there have been many methods, but the one
    that is the most basic yet most rewarding is the focus on the breath.
    Watching it enter and leave, watching the movement of the abdomen pulling
    and pushing, rising and falling. The duality of it all, can easily hold
    unwavering attention for quite some time. In IIH's Step 1, this method would
    probably fall under the "single-thought" version of the meditation. However,
    after about ten minutes of focusing on the breath, it's as if it becomes
    automatic without losing the intense focus. Like that's where the mind is
    at, but it's not thinking about it, it's just happening. This, state of the
    meditation, seems like it would fit in the "vacancy of mind" version of Step
    1's meditation. Though, it seems like this approach is different than that
    illustatrated by Bardon, for he says that in this last step of the
    meditation, all thoughts should be energetically dismissed. In the method
    illustrated above though, there is not a chance for thoughts to come
    through, because the focus is on the breath, that is the sole thought. Then,
    from the "1" thought, it transmutes to the "0" thought, just out of
    calibrating and aligning, if you will, the planes of self. Perhaps, this is
    exactly what is meant by the Step 1 meditation, and this was all just
    further description for it. In any case, this may be of some help to others.
