This is called “stopping the world” or “internal silence” in Curanderismo Spiritual practices. The purpose of this practice is to awaken our internal knowledge and also to make our connection with our ancestors stronger.
How to do it:
1- Close your eyes
2- Take several deep breaths to relax and to cut off external stimulation
3- Try to clear your mind and stay there as long as you can. If a thought comes by instead of engaging or trying to get rid of it just don’t pay attention and let it pass by
4- Start with only 5 minutes and little by little add more time
5- Finish this practice with a beautiful thought that brings you joy and happiness
6- Take a deep breath again and open your eyes
