Arianji the three points you mentioned are correctly done. You can walk to avoid drowsiness, but please be certain that you are not barefoot and have socks so that the earthing is not there.
The thoughts are coming, not deliberatly but they are getting out (Old Samskars getting burned) so just watch them and release them. No need to 'try" to concentrate, it will happen automatically, no efforts required. If mind is distracted, get it back again
The little loud chanting, effects the physical body, and gives material success. This is called Vaikhari Japa
The silent Japa in which lips move but no sound or inaudible sound is there is Pasyanti Japa and effects the Mental and Astral Body and raises the vibrations and clears the negative vibrations and karmas.
The japa inside the heart Para leads you to directly connect with the Powers of Lord, in Causal Body and leads to Samadhi,so all types are equally good and required
