Zazen in an answer to that. I had the same problem. My professional works requires a lot of logic and constant thinking. Zazen helps me put that in its proper place. When I need my logic tools I can pull them out; but I can also put them back in my toolbag when I'm through. I've worked with koans in the past but now just sit 'shikan taza' (empty mind). Both are equally effective. It helps A LOT!!! Find a teacher. Mayber he/she will assign you the koan Mu, maybe not. It doesn't matter. He/she will instruct you in zazen and that will help you quiet your mind. Gassho...Bill! ------------------------ Yahoo!
