I'm an introvert so I never found much use.Meditation is the opposite of sitting and thinking, meditation is sitting and having no thoughts at all, its separate from the thoughts that arise, its seeing the thoughts as they arise and not getting attached to them. The mind becomes separate, and the realization of being separate from the mind is witnessed, even the witness who is separate from the mind eventually dissolves and all there is is pure silence.
