I spent an hour today doing breath meditation* with the mantra 
"no-thing" while imagining my body as being an empty place where 
breaths went, and if ideas came to my mind, I applied a kind of
X-ray vision onto them where I saw them as being empty.

I achieved first jhana fairly quickly and easily, and stayed with it
through second jhana before going back to my regular way of thinking.


* anapanasati, a form of samadhi
