I did something similar but always tried to imagine things - shapes like cube, rotate it, move it around, slice it etc. - not easy.

I always found it odd you'd want to deprive yourself from excercising mind this way by medidating = practicing not thinking.

I believe it helped me a lot when programming and thinking about problems in general.

If that's what 10% of your brain is capable of, imagine what kinds of miracles are possible once you tap into the rest of it.

What you're saying is a myth that gets repeated like an old wives tale by people who never check it out.

Oh, but I did check it out, spent 9 months doing nothing but yoga and meditation out in the forest; and there's definitely more in there just waiting to be activated.

Don't forget to gather up the world's leading neuroscientists and let them know that they're wrong because you 'checked it out' by doing nothing but yoga and meditation for nine months.

If you use 1% of your brain imagine what would happen if you’d use all of it.

Rest is part of exercise

Sleep is good for rest.
