ADHD is a kind of “loss of control over your attention”.

Meditation is “getting control over your attention”.

So you see the connection there.

    Yes. Personally I can’t stand guided meditation - it never moves at the right speed. Za-zen, Vipassana, Hwa Tou, mantras, fire gazing, Silent Illumination, and others can be helpful.

    The key is to remember that meditation is practice - there’s no end state where you’ve “gotten it right.”

    Getting distracted is not failure. Noticing that you’ve become distracted and bringing attention back to your focus is success.
