A question about meditation with an ADHD mind. I've meditated, on and off, for several years now. For years I tried to sit staring at the wall, following Zen Buddhist tradition. While I don't have a problem with the actual sitting, the restless monkey of a mind has been a struggle. I've finally understood it's easier for me to concentrate on the moment when there's a constant change in visual input. The best so far is looking at ground while walking.
The part I'm struggling the most with is noticing the current thought and letting it go. For me, it's a sudden shift in perception: I don't usually notice the current thought but instead remember now, which then pushes the previous thought away like a flick of a switch. I might even forget the previous though. Any thoughts or tips regarding this?
This Thursday: guided meditation with Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon.
Where does experience happen?
A koan meditation on awareness, direct experience, and the stillness before thought.

Okay, everyone...
DO NOT PANIC!
I repeat.
Do not panic!
I'm still alive. I was just at a day-long Zen meditation retreat.
Okay, you may panic at the news that I'm still alive. 
How do you feel connected when you’re alone?
Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon offers a clear teaching on loneliness, separation, meditation, and the quiet truth that we are never truly separate.

The ability to listen is essential.
When we truly engage in meditation we are listening.
We are listening to sounds with our ears, yes.
However, we are also listening to the shapes in front of us with our eyes.
We are also listening to the pressure of the floor on our legs with our bodies.
We are listening to the air currents with our skin.
We are listening to the thoughts that come and go with our mind.
We are listening to the tastes, and the smells.
We are completely listening.
🔥 The whole world is on fire.
What do you do?
Zen has an answer.
