While you are already a meditator, there are also exercises you can practice to help you move past thoughts and into presence.
Practice 1: Pure Waiting
Whenever you can, sit and wait. There's no need to distract yourself by filling the gap with random activity. At the gate at the airport or waiting for the bus, rather than picking up a book, flipping through a magazine, checking e-mail, or watching TV, just sit and wait. Present... ready... available... No need to meditate or get spiritual. Just wait, like a cat, or a bird on a tree. Become the waiting itself.
