What do I mean by relaxing the thinking? I mean dropping thinking! May be an impossible approach, but I will test it. The idea is to stop relying on thinking even for everyday activities. So it's an extremely radical method.
The best way that I have found to stop the endless flow of thoughts is to live in the now, think of what is happening in the now. In now is all that we need, we hear the guidance, we see the truth. While thoughts are in the now, our minds do not focus on the past or the future which is most of our mind chatter. This is what meditation is and also known as prayer.
