Or does it help you let go and realize you're not in control of your thoughts anyways? I'm talking practice as in focused meditation I suppose as the Huang-Bo style of no-practice in Transmissions has led me to indulge in bad habits I think rather than challenge them. The idea that mind is the buddha anyways, so no matter what I do there is always a back door of liberation, so go wild.
Context: I have a history of obsessive thoughts about someone who doesn't care for me, and I find they creep into my concious thoughts through a million triggers and sometimes for no reason at all.
Yes they are just thoughts, but they are a plague and I never used to have them until I entrenched them in through habit (started with metta meditation innocently enough). I'd like to work with filling in these well worn brain pathways. Time has softened them but they are still there and I feel lately as I'm alone more its getting worse.
