That's the beginning of (no)Self realization and a
very good technique to transcend the vrittis of the
chitta. An empty mind does not = (no)Self. There's
still and implicit "I" thought or identity with subtle
aspects of mind. True vipassana meditation cuts
through this identification very quickly. If you can
quiet your mind through intent, vipassana is the way
to go. IMHO!
