My mind is always churning, but I can usually shut it down when I get home. Sometimes I need about 15-20 minutes of sitting on the couch with the remote control to flip channels just to unwind from the day.

I'm not sure if it's a female trait, but definitely "endlessly churning". I am learning now though, how to better control the direction of my thoughts at least.

I think the mind is always churning unconsiously. The conscious mind can be slowed down through meditation. Perhaps expert meditators can stop thinking.

I can do it, it takes practice. Doing yoga has helped. I need to do it most nights so I can fall asleep or else my mind will churn the night away.

The less stressful events I am experiencing, the easier it is. I use meditation, and relaxation and the serenity prayer. It really does work for me, and I would imagine the worst time to not be able to turn your mind off is when you are falling asleep, so I am quite lucky to have been able to learn to quiet my thoughts and focus on something abstract or pleasant and fall asleep quite quickly.

You cannot stop thinking. Same as the heart cannot stop beating or the liver cannot stop doing whatever it is it does.
This is the beauty of meditation, whereby you direct your thought by dwelling on certain themes, and prevent the mind from running away with you on silly or perverse thoughts.
Physicists have a tool called a 'cloud chamber' - they can see atoms suddenly appear, trace their paths, then disappear, where the atoms come from, where they go, no one knows.
Same as the mind, where our thoughts come from, where they go, no one knows.
We can't stop them but with practise we can acquire peace, for a lucky few, bliss.

to stop thinking and silence your ego is a task that takes an extreme amount of discipline and practice. it is at the heart of hinduism and their various forms of mediation and yoga...they believe you must silence the mind and shed the confines of the ego in order to truly (literally) find god. it's like reaching out with your mind (and soul) into the ether to connect to what fills it...just a fun fact

It is impossible to fully empty your mind of all thoughts for more than two seconds. I can never switch off, have to do Suduko puzzles to get to sleep as my mind is buzzing!
