Mediate is super real though. No its not gonna make you more functional or successfully at your job. But it can make you feel so much better. But even after you experienced this it remains difficult to keep doing it. Its kinda weird, is there a term for this?
Since i learned how to properly mediate (google "gateway tapes" for those interested), every time i do so i feel like "wow this is amazing i should do this more often" then 2 months pass where i don't
Just went and tried the Orientation tape. It's quite nice for relaxing I suppose, but I struggled a lot with both the visualisation and the "hypnosis", also the long silences were tedious. I have aphantasia and I've found hypnotism doesn't work at all for me before in the past, so perhaps I'm simply unsuited for this.
I don't know do you meant by "is there a term for this" but meditation has different stages and you can even experience ecstasy/happines or some rides like on psychodelics. Never experienced that stuff myself though.
It does! And i have actually experienced these in no small part thanks to the monroe gateway tapes.
The terminology i am looking for is for #4 in this chain of events:
1: I never regret a meditation session, how short or long or deep or shallow it might be. They are always a satisfying way to spend time
2: i find meditation does me a lot of good, higher focus, more energy. Its like a powernap except if i try a real powernap i wake up more tired and angry for sm reason.
3: I state that meditation might be one of the most impactful skills i have ever learned in my life.
4: I stop meditating for literal months????
Maybe i should post this as a gru meme on the adhd/autism communities idk.
