That's exactly how I do it. If I need to clear things out and I'm in a busy place and can't close my eyes, I concentrate on a small black spot on something and then only think about the spot until that occupies all of my thoughts. Then, I stop thinking about the spot and I'm there. Totally blank.

So.. wat do you think about the spot? Just.. "this is a black spot this is a black spot" or... "this is what I can do with a black spot"?

I think this: "When you choke a smurf, what colour does it turn?"

cool. I sometimes stare at a distant object and I start to think about one certain thing. Thinking about that thing then starts some sort of train of thoughts that calms me down. When I do this I still notice my suroundings, but I dont get distracted since Im in an "I dont a damn" state of mind. The only bad thing is that sinse im sort of staring into space, I give the impresion that im staring at someone. That and I dont blink.

I used to do what someone else said try and make myself see just black, it worked once or twice but now whenever I try I end up con centrating too hard which means I cant sleep.
A good trick is to TRY and stay awake via thinking "If I do an all nighter I wont be able to do that French test" You always fsall asleep because your brain hates you. :D

Yeah that breathing thing is called "Anapana meditation." They made us do it in my school every morning from 5th grade to 10th.

However, I prefer the WOT method. You have to imagine a flame, and feed all your emotion, your thoughts into the fire, until there's nothing left but the fire. Then, you slowly put out the fire, and feel calmer.
