Some of the time ,or most of the time, some of us, or most of us, will be thinking.
This is an existential given as far as I'm aware.
There is nothing wrong with thinking per se, but if we think compulsively and obsessively we will miss much of what is going on around us and within us at deeper levels.
So what?
Well - this is the question.
Creating space within is an art and skill that, for most of us, does not come naturally.
During my time involved in Yoga I have noticed how certain people can appear to be deeply meditating or deeply involved in Asana during a so called Yoga lesson. And that once this lesson is over they are immediately taken back to the chattering, nattering blah de blah world. It's as if they cannot even for one moment take a break from the 'need' to jabber and tell everyone everything.
Of course there will usually be a willing ear from some overly passive shanti bunny sitting nearby.
How terribly judgemental of me!
but alas this is the way it is. . . . . .
give yourself and others a break, shut up, sit still and breathe in and out through your nostrils for half an hour . . . .
Hari Om!
