I try to keep the silent mantra going in public by attaching it to whatever
musical 'ear worm' is playing in my mind... Right now it's"
'Namo Amidha Butsu' set to "Easter Parade:"
E E G E D C G
Na-mo A-mi-dha Bu-tsu
It fits remarkably well with subsquent phrases also.

Throw the mind something to not think about:
"Walk around the house not thinking of a fox."
This was Great-Aunt Emma's cure for hiccups when we lived with her when I
was 8 years old.
I almost wrote "Walk around the fox not thinking of a house." Now there's
a Zen version!

In meditation a level arrives where I can feel my heartbeat throughout my
body. If I listening intently, my heart is saying " I AM," "I AM," "I
AM"....

No, you hear your mind making an insightful observation about what your heart's doing.
Be ruthless. Don't get caught. Just return to mantra, even if really deep and spiritual
notions and observations arise. Even profound chatter is still chatter. Toss out bathwater
and babies, too....plus the tub, the bathroom, the house, and the world. Return to mantra
and let it all go. We're not aiming to "grow", we're aiming to radically downsize.
