Meditation gets ADHD Kids Off Medication

Check out this ABC News clip and interview with two boys, Ryan and Jaden, ADHD diagnosed, who are now virtually off their medications after beginning a meditation practice. The meditation style presented in this video is called Sahaja Yoga meditation. The starting point of this meditation is getting to a point of thoughtless awareness or peace of mind through your self realization:

Ryan and Jaden are thriving on a drug-free treatment.

“Ryan’s not taking any and Jaden is taking half a dose. And, they can still maintain their focus as if they’re on medication. So, that’s been the biggest difference.”

“That must be a relief to you?”

“A huge relief. Because I was looking at any option to get them off medication. I just didn’t like the idea of them being on tablets long term.”
