No-one consciously thinks through every action. I mean thinking at all rather than paying total attention to the other person and letting your actions happen. If you feel that 'you' are doing something, you aren't running the brain in its native mode, your running an emulation. It's hard to figure out how to do this from a verbal description, but if it happens you will recognize what I'm talking about and it doesn't require any practice of anything unnatural.
