Does it make people perform better or worse than shutting down internal monologue simply by will?

Although killing the sense of time can help to make it feel better...

I think it's for shutting down the internal monologue for people who can't do it by will. If you can do it yourself, do you know if shutting down your internal monologue also cuts back on habitual muscle tension?

I notice that level of internal monologue and tension in my jaw are strongly correlated, and I can affect either by manipulating the other.

shutting down internal monologue lower muscle tension by deactivation the negative part of limbic system
