Meditation and relaxation

Hello everyone 

Just wondering if anyone could share any links or info on meditation please?

I am struggling a little atm as my boy is struggling going back to school after half term and I’ve had a long night with little sleep and pretty much watched YouTube videos on autism. 
Also my parents are on holiday which always makes me really anxious as a few years ago while on holiday he had an aneurysm and a stroke which was probably one of the worst times in my life. 

Thanks for listening

    Hi

    I use an app on my phone called insight timer. Most of the content is free. I particularly enjoy a lady called Glenda Cedarleaf who reads bedtime stories. She always helps me to nod off to sleep.

    Just read your bio Inula. I’m really pleased you have found peace in your diagnosis and that you have found your place here on the forums. 
    I am now starting to try and get an assessment myself and although I used to worry that I might be I would be quite relieved to get a diagnosis. I’m 49 years old and my goodness I drove myself crazy trying to go through my past. 

    Take care

    That’s interesting Inula. Might try that also as my mind races from one thing to another a lot of the time. I’m looking forward to the day I get assessed but I am worried that my masking is so deep rooted that I don’t show my true self. 
    I also think ADHD will be a thing for me too as I show traits in that. 

    Thanks for your reply and good luck with your discoveries

    Hi Take5

    I'm still very much processing my diagnosis but so pleased and happy to have been officially identified autistic. It's answered so many questions. I've been meditating for many years - and still struggle with it!  Recently I've started to do Shamanic Journeys which I find much easier as I don't have to still my mind for that. My autism diagnosis also flagged up ADHD and suggested I get assessed for that. Ha! I thought everyone's brain worked like mine yet here I am, weeks away from my 63rd "Level Up" day still making discoveries about myself
