Yep all you have to do is to stop thinking about it. I’m kidding and chuckling a little it is always a challenge to quite the monkey mind. You are right with practice it will get better. I don’t think there is an easy way but here are some things that work. Master Lin has given you a mantra of sorts in the small universe so focusing on this is one way. To amplify this you could visualize not only breathing into the points but sending light, smiling into the spot, sending healing with each breath and or combinations of all of them. This will keep the mind busy enough and focused on where it is needed. Never struggle against it or get mad at it see it for what it is/was and breathe it out and let it go and realign your focus. Just keep bringing it back to your focus and intention it will diminish.
With the exercise you can reorient your focus by tuning into the energy, breath work, and the magnetic feel between hands and so on. Finding the awe in all this can help with the focus as well. Also for all of the above you can take a moment (5 to 10 min) before beginning and let thoughts wander in and out. Jot them down on a note pad and then let them go with the affirmation that you will get back to it after your quite time. Sometimes there is a lot going on and reminders pop up and jotting them down will help release the chatter.
Good luck, have fun and enjoy the ride.
Much love to you
