Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong AD/HD & needing other levels of SFQ

As I understand it, going into the emptiness is where you cease to have conscious thoughts, you may start to lose or completely lose the feeling of your body and you draw yourself and all the scattered pieces of yourself back into yourself and relax and release everything. (eg. you may have had an argument with someone and find you feel aggression towards them and maybe also dismay in yourself for your own actions, in this case we need to forgive that person and your own self and release any of these negative feelings and replace them with unconditional love and kindness. You may even need to confront/apologise to people to make things right.) By doing this you allow yourself to become whole again and through the practice of meditation can achieve a sense of oneness with the universe or experience the emptiness.

I have attempted here to explain very briefly an extremely complex subject however and I hope I haven't confused the matter.

Meditation is the key to going into the emptiness and practice in this discipline will eventually bring it about.

It is the art of bypassing the brain and conscious thought so that you can feel the unity and the perfection in everything within the universe and beyond.

At first you will no doubt feel that you have even more thoughts racing through your head than before, but it is really that you are now paying attention to them. As you practice you will notice that there are gaps between your thoughts. These will eventually grow longer. This is what the emptiness feels like.

Keep at the meditations and don't worry about your thoughts, this is a natural process and takes a lot of practice to bypass. With AD/HD it may be much harder, but stick at it as I am sure the benefits will greatly improve your life.

With nearly all meditation you need a focus point to bring your attention back to centre. As Iam2 has said, focus on the visualisations and feeling the energy, when you find your thoughts drifting off simply bring your focus back again. Don't be too concerned if your mind is overly busy.

Another simple little relaxation meditation that may help, that you can do at any time of the day (don't do this at the same time as Qigong though) is this:

1) Sit in a chair with your back straight.
2) Let your eyes relax and fall down to where they feel comfortable (this is usually looking down towards ground at an angle of about 45 degrees)
3) Let your eyelids drop until they are almost closed.
4) Relax and try to clear your mind. Don't stop any thoughts that come and go, simply let them be and don't dwell on them either. You may let your eyelids close too if you wish.

Do this for about 2 minutes for a little refresher and to help calm the mind.

Hope this may help. But I have no doubt that SFQ will

Will be sending you love and energy.
