Attention is important. The ability to direct your attention where you want is important. If you can do it well then you can do tricks like “concentration”. Concentration is necessary for careful doing and deep seeing. Every engineer, scientist, artist, lawyer and professional thinker needs concentration to do their job.
People with ADHD have a problem controlling their attention. Or something. Normies aren’t too good at it either. (Is the ability to concentrate on stuff that you don’t really care about, to do that a lot every day, a power or a weakness? Good question but beside my point).
Meditation is all about getting better at using attention. Getting better control over it, seeing it doing its thing better, learning its ways.
We basically have 2 techniques. In the first one you practice concentration. It’s a skill that you get better at. And then you take it deeper and you learn a lot. You gain a superpower.
The second one is trickier but better.
The Buddhists call the techniques samatha and vipassana.
If you have a retort then refer to something I said. Be specific and clear. Because this vague protestatory handwaving does nothing for me.
Personally I’ve tried, amongst others, transcendental meditation and a form of movement meditation, combined with yoga. Both did absolutely nothing for my day-to-day focus. The only thing which actually did something for my concentration (unfortunately) was medication.
You come across quite hostile, but so far your argument isn’t backed up by any scientific evidence, it’s just ‘meditation is meant to help concentration, so it also should help ADHD’. That’s a gross oversimplification of a very complex neurological process.
Asking you to be specific and clear is asking too much of you, it seems.
I’m sorry you feel that way. Have a nice day buddy!
