I find it much easier to silence my inner dialogue by using the "rocks between fingers" method.. I have a very busy schedule and only have 2–3 hours to practice sorcery. My question is, should I spend the entire two hours practicing this chair method until I become better at silencing the inner dialogue, or is it futile if I don’t practice it along with the passes?”

The first time I did the first 12 passes, I ever so slightly moved my assemblage point and everything became white and hazy, trees became abstract. I became very chill and withdrawn. It was quiet. I didn’t even realize what I had done, I just thought I was feeling weird and sat down to recover. Eventually the haze subsided and the clarity of the trees came back. This was with day gazing, not my usual, sit in a dark closet and look for light lol.
They’re not mutually exclusive, but also not entirely reliant on one another. You’re constantly working on everything you’ll get progress. But don’t NOT do the passes because you’re afraid of what you look like dancing.

No one has the answer to that...
Find out for us.
You've seen the cool things the chair silence technique can do, in that post about it.
I literally rode my armchair out t hrough the solid wall of my home, down the street, up into the air 50 feet, and flew it to Los Angeles, to see if anything was going on at Dance Home, without me knowing about it.
Fully AWAKE.
However...
The bad news...
When you do anything in sorcery with your eyes closed, and not moving, you head off into sleeping dreaming realms, with your tonal joining up with your energy body in the phantom realms.
It doesn't come out into this realm, then way Tensegrity lures your energy body into the real world.
Still, if it works to produce regular magic for you, the chair silence technique is good for giving you a basic understanding of what "the second attention" is.
You can also lure the Allies to come around you while you practice, but then it's even more likely they'll suck you into the dream world. They like it better there.
They'll even try to trick you by making a phantom version of where you are practicing, so that when you perceive them right there near your chair, you don't realize you've actually fallen into a phantom version of your room.
I have a busy schedule as well and have to wake up in the middle of the night for a 3-4 hour block of time where i won’t be interrupted.
Right now, I am spending an hour doing recapitulation, typically I’ll recap the prior day’s events and if I have time left over I’ll go back further.
Recap will move your assemblage point, you should be seeing flat puffs at minimum doing this.
After recap, I’ll do passes for roughly an hour. Passes will definitely move your AP, they are an important aspect of this, I would not skip them.
Then with the remaining time I sit in my lawn chair, gaze with eyes open, and rocks or quartz between my fingers. They do help with silencing the internal dialogue a bit. I also use them as a ‘check’ when I am seeing something incredible i’ll squeeze on the rocks to see if I am in a dream.
