You are not to "do" or "think" anything when meditating. You are to simply watch whatever is happening inside. Perhaps you notice thoughts happening. Or you notice a feeling (a sense of anger or joy). Or perhaps you notice your body (my legs are aching).

But your task while meditating is to simply become aware of what is. Do not try to change or fix anything. Simply accept yourself from your heart, and watch whatsoever is happening.

Now -- there are many different techniques that ask you to "do" various things: for example, in Vipassana, you are asked to watch your breath. That is fine, you can practice the technique. But remember, the technique is just a doorway into meditation; it is not meditation itself.

Meditation is pure awareness, pure watchfulness.

What is non dualistic thinking?

"Non dualistic thinking" is a contradiction in terms. Thinking, by its very nature, is dualistic. What is the meaning of "up" without the concept of "down?" How can we know "black" without "white?" Thinking happens in the mental realm, which is firmly placed in the world of duality. The only way I know of to go beyond duality is by meditating. One strengthens one's awareness, so one can become a witness to thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. I have been meditating for fifteen years, and I see that I cannot find the words to describe the conditions needed for existing beyond duality. I had better get back to meditating!
