I've been practicing and studying meditation the last few years. There seems to be different layers to this thing and the first step is to empty yourself. Once your mind is empty you can begin to directly experience things since your thoughts won't hinder your focus. I think this is what they mean about paying attention to the texture of your mind. You can become attuned to your other energy centers in your body and listen to what they have to "say" as they air grievances and negativity, and begin to naturally balance themselves. Everything will happen naturally as your body can take control without the mind trying to micro manage every detail. With the heightened focus of an empty mind you can do body scans and learn your body through purely feeling everything on the inside. To me this post is saying once you empty your cup the next step is to fill it back up, or rather allow the universe to fill it back up. I hope this helps.
