The act of intentionally slowing everything down for a few minutes makes a huge difference. Reacting to the world and being stimulated 24/7 is not good for me.
I have tried to meditate in the past but I have trouble shutting down my mind/thoughts. Because I have high anxiety, I am going to try and conquer this after listening to your information because I believe that calming my vagus nerve down will help me tremendously! Thank you again for your valuable information that will help us all!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mary Anne. I would say that you don't need to "shut down your thoughts" as much as notice them and then return to whatever it is you want to focus on. My thoughts stray all the time. I think that's the case for many if not most people.
Thank you for breaking down the types of meditation. It makes it much easier for me to understand and choose what works for me. The details of your explanation and choices are wonderful.

I completely agree. It really doesn't take much. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you, Sue. I really appreciate that. I try to break things down in a way that would have been helpful for me.
