    Maybe not everyone, but as an ND (with ADHD) who can do this after meditation practice, it’s certainly possible for some.

    One way to describe it is I found a ‘muscle’ in the mind that I can flex to suppress intrusive thought. I also learned to wiggle my ears, by finding the right muscle to flex. It’s like that.

      I found the muscle too. Then I picked up chronic sinus pain on top of ADHD and the mental energy to get there is just gone. I’m sure that for many it doesn’t take a sinus headache.

      It’s a fine line to encourage people to do what they think they can’t without shaming those who really can’t get there.
