Frequently Asked Questions

How does this practice work?

Choose a session length, write a short thought, and drop it into the scene. Bricks gradually erode as time passes.

What ability does this training build?

It trains the ability to set thoughts down — by externalizing them rather than suppressing or clinging to them — creating a healthy distance between yourself and your thoughts.

Why does letting go of thoughts matter?

Trying to suppress a thought makes it return more forcefully. Putting a thought into words helps you see it as an event, not as 'you', which naturally reduces rumination.

How can I get the most out of this practice?

Let go of the pressure to write well. Just bring out whatever comes as it is — fragments work too. The act of externalizing and releasing is what lightens the mind.
