Keeping in the present moment, at all times. No matter what one is doing, whenever a thought arises, come back to the present moment, to awareness.
I also do this for a couple of hours daily while sitting on a chair or lying down, or sitting on a park bench, or walking in the park. But i try to keep it on all day.
Results: mind becomes quiet, i am no longer behaving and reacting based on conditioning and the past. The identification with the mind, and the mind-story is almost gone. Now there is an identification with the living force that is there in the present moment.
One can return to silent awareness by many means:
- focus on breathing for a few seconds
- remove thoughts of past and future
- see what is present when there are no thoughts
- still the mind and see what is present, or what is paying attention to the silence
- focus on feet while walking for a few steps
All these will sooner or later reveal what is always present and aware.
