To quote Dr Phil, "How's that workin' for ya?"

thinking to much is bad

No, thinking uncontrolled verbal chatter is not good for relaxation and trance.  There is no problem with thinking, if you think correctly.  Visualizations, mental exercises=good.  Verbal chatter and worrying=bad.  But even verbal chatter and thinking about your problems can be used if in a disciplined way- think those thoughts, observe them, put them in an imaginary balloon and watch them float away.
The thing is not to lose control of your mind- but the mind is what you're using to project, and should be what you focus on.
Yes, an 'empty mind' is the best vehicle and stepping stone to projection, but to get it empty, properly empty, sometimes you have to use it.
