I've always found it interesting that many meditation techniques involve "emptying the mind" or "clearing the mind" of thought.
While practicing concentration on a single point of focus definitely seems useful for strengthening the mind, I'm not sure that practicing a state of being completely devoid of thought is necessarily healthy. I would rather meditate on being full of thought, and thinking of many things simultaneously, or meditate on focus in a high distraction environment.
I wonder if there are meditation styles that embrace this?
