New Blog Post! How to Meditate When You Can’t Sit Still: Neurodivergent Meditation Hacks for Autistic & ADHD Folks
**"**Meditation seems to inspire a love it or hate it reaction. When I talk to people about meditation, I tend to get one of two responses. The first is “I liked it once I got the hang of it”. The second is “I can’t meditate”.

Did you know that there are actually lots of different ways to meditate? There isn’t a right or wrong way to do it, in my opinion. It’s about finding what works for you, and that can be different on different days or in different phases of life. This blog post explores some of the many options, which I hope gives you some useful ideas to try."
@rekindled What is meditation? You need to look the answer in yourself. It is self knowledge. If you read or learn what is from other people, you become confused. Nobody can teach what is meditation only yourself.
I found it weird, that people who called them mindfull( gurus) can't answer this simple question:
What is, at the present, humanity's purpose of life?
I started with guided meditations. Body scan, visualization, yoga and thai chi work well for me. White noise helps me relax and focus. As an anchor I tend use my breath.
Will try a fidget toy and moving slowly to music. Thanks for these ideas.
@rekindled@actuallyautistic Thank you for this. I took Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course a few years ago and it was helpful, but can no longer seem to access the benefits I used to get. Now I just feel agitated when I try. I’ll give some of your suggestions a try.
