Yeah, look, I have never thought I was any good at meditating, but it clearly helps me when I try to do it. Don't know exactly how or why. What I do, because I am no expert, is, I just use the old-timey Buddhisst method. I do deep breaathing and I focus and concentrate on my breath. Sometimes, I count, sometimes, I don't. But when the thoughts cruise by, I recognize that, try not to tell myself I suck at meditation, and then, return to focusing on my breath again. I just do that over and over, I am better at focusing now than I used to be. Sometimes 10 minutes, someitmes 30--whatever.

I used it yesterday whe I got suepr psychotic, I do not have any Klonopin anymore. It makes my depression bad. So, Just breathing and praying to my HP. And it really calmed me and helped me make it to bedtime. I was too scared to go outside, but I bet that would have halepd to take a little walk, too, and see some puppies or babies or flowers or something.

There is tons of scientific data about how meditation positively influences a huge variety of neural functions, if you care about that sort of thig. For me, it just helps calm me and returns some peace.

Hope your day is peace.
I’m going to have to try this today (again)

Love to all
