If I'm not mistaken, it's a practice of contemplating questions?

No, thats the wrong way to practice.

You simply put your attention on the I-feeling the whole time.

Every practice will take you away from "it".

Thoughts suddenly cease and ‘I-I’ rises up equally suddenly and continues. It is only a feeling, not a thought. Can it be right?

Ramana Maharshi: Yes, it is quite right. Thoughts have to cease and reason to disappear for the ‘I-I’ to rise up and be felt. Feeling is the main thing, not reason.

@Blissout It’s not a wrong way. It’s just another way of doing so.

It might work for some people, other people prefer different methods.

I finally learned that within me 
there lay an invincible summer.
