Benefits of Meditation for Psychic Work and ADHD
Meditation is a foundational skill for psychic work, requiring practice for effectiveness. It can reduce stress, anxiety, promote emotional health, and enhance self-awareness. For individuals with ADHD, meditation can improve attention span and possibly reduce age-related memory loss. By altering brainwaves to theta state, meditation fosters deep states of meditation, spiritual experiences, and higher consciousness.
Active vs. Inactive Meditation Styles
Active meditation, such as coloring, painting, gardening, or walking, involves movement to achieve desired brain states. Inactive meditation, like sitting cross-legged, is more advanced. Starting with active meditation can aid in transitioning to inactive forms. Personal experiences with painting and pottery revealed the benefits of active meditation in training the brain.
Tips for Effective Meditation Practice
Begin meditation practice gradually, starting with short durations and increasing over time. For individuals with ADHD, avoid daily meditation and focus on a frequency that feels manageable. Experimenting with different meditation postures, including active styles, can improve focus and ease into traditional meditation practices. Setting timers, using guided meditations, and establishing a ritual space enhance meditation experiences and brain training.
