Hi scattybird,

Mindfulness is supposed to be very good for ADHD. I first learned it years ago at a Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction 8 week program. I have since gone on to other practices, although I do mindfulness practices as well, not saying anything about it being good or bad, just that I am doing other practices now for the most part. Breath practice can also be a mindfulness practice if you invite anything else that comes through the senses to be non-judgementally observed along with the main focus, the breath.

I often struggle with attention (non-ADDers do as well), but it’s the visualizations specifically that are giving me a problem, and that’s one of the practices I am supposed to be working on. Not only that, there are a number of different visualization practices and they get more and more complex. I haven’t been doing them since I started investigating the sleep & ADD issues, but I am expecting that my teacher will want me to go back and start working on them again. He’s not familiar with ADHD (or learning disorders either, I think, not sure), so I want to find more information about what it is and how I can work with it, or the lack of it, it seems :?
