Best meditation practice for adhd

[Something Funny]

Leo has lots of different tyoes of mediatation on his channel, and there are even more of them in general.

Which one is best for people who struggle with adhd and want to reduce the symptoms? 

Just focusing on your breath or something like that?

[r0ckyreed]

Contemplation.

ADHD is a gift. Use your mind via contemplation.

Look into Maranasati

@r0ckyreed Would you consider that a fear of death? Like a hounding fear?

@r0ckyreed Joe is out a gift and glue would it help with contemplation?

@Buck Edwards thank you,  I will try it

[r0ckyreed]

I’m not sure what you all mean. The whole point of contemplation is to use your mind to deeply focus your thinking on a single question to derive insight. Contemplating death is a good meditation. Of course, you fear death and fear can be a good thing. But you want to contemplate death so you can live your life.

ADHD is a gift in many ways. You are more aware of stimuli that others tune out. Another way is that your mind cannot stop thinking and wondering about reality or whatever you’re most interested in. Don’t forget about the hyperactive component. I have so much energy and have little awareness and care for social norms. That’s some of the benefits of adhd and autism. Your mind just thinks more creatively because your mind can jump around so much more easily than others.

@r0ckyreed i see, thank you

I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD but I’m 90% sure I have it because my mom and brother both do and I show some symptoms. 
 

I agree with @r0ckyreed contemplation is good but I wouldn’t be able to do any sort of contemplation or meditation without binaural beats.

Binaural beats have been an absolute game changer for someone like me. I like theta waves for binaural beats but Leo shared one a few blog posts back that I really enjoy: this one.

 

Good luck brah, also I like your pfp a whole lot (i’m trying to catch up rn, currently on wano!)

@LifeEnjoyer thanks. Do you listen to them with headphones on? Do they have any lasting effect on you or does it work only when you are actually listening?

[Buck Edwards]

@Something Funny binaural beats actually harmed me but you can still try those.

Yeah I use with my highest quality headphones and I have them on like 50% volume. I noticed no lasting effects but I usually use them during my morning’s 10 min of meditation + wim hof + another 10 mins of meditation. This combo is awesome it totally energizes me for the day and reduces my anxiety tenfold.

I wanted to try it so bad, but the first experience left me shattered. The beats caused my body to shake violently, no joke, it freaked the fuck out of me. I haven't dared to do it again after that. No idea why it happened.

That sucks. That reminds me of when I first started using them for schoolwork and afterwards it felt like my brain had been juiced. Like no more brain power, I don’t know if it was the binaural beats or the school work still to this day.

I see.

You ultimately want to learn how to meditate and contemplate without any external source. You want to learn how to just be awed and satisfied with just existence itself. The simplest method is just to walk through a forest and look at the trees as if seeing them for the first time. Hold a leaf, marvel at the beauty, and contemplate it.
