Can someone help me with meditation please?
StartingOver asked:
Hey, when I was little I used to LOVE meditating outside, but as i’ve grown up i’ve kinda lost the ability to. I’ve been suspected of have adult ADD and manic depression, and no matter how much I try or what methods I use I cannot stop thinking for even a second (although i’ve found valium and diphenhydramine hydrochloride help, but i’d rather stay natural!)

It seems rediculous - like, I’ll go sit outside next to a pond and surrounded by wild flowers and i’ll try to relax, but there is always something in my head - if I try to think of nothing, it just becomes really pointless random stuff in my head! For example, if I try focusing on my breathing, i’ll find myself thinking about how a fish or a frog breathes or remembering high-school biology classes or even an episode of a TV show that had *anything* vaguely to do with breathing! I try saying ‘Om’ or using traditional chants to clear my head, and I find myself thinking about the origin of the phrase ‘om’!
Advice appreciated!
