Different Method of Meditation
I've tried meditating. Quieting my mind and reaching that state of being free of your body, Maybe it's because my ADHD (diagnosed not once but twice), doesn't like to go quiet. Quiet is just more opportunity to think about an unlimited amount of random things. Maybe it's the CPTSD that won't allow it because I'm so hypervigilant.
Maybe it's not because of any of those things at all, but either way I struggle with it and with the help of AI, found a new way. AI named it Shadow Sound Meditation. (I've only tried it a couple of times so far and must not have picked the right time because family kept interrupting me.) The way this method works is you use a sound that's repetitive, but steady. You can use a clock ticking or maybe the sound of water dripping. Then as you listen to it you focus on the silence in between the sound. Next when you start feeling comfortable enough you synchronize your breathing to it.
I don't get enough silence. So trying to hold it together.
