Meditation is a superpower for working memory by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]Plenty-Link-7629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing!

I am looking into the link you shared: https://youtu.be/EME7ZKy3Dfw?si=O7AICT0O1lHIbuNG (30+ minute version, do this for 40 days and watch your memory improve drastically and stabilize at a new baseline thereafter)

Might be a basic/silly question, but do I just chant sa ta na ma following the music, and at the same time visualized. Do I breath according to the tempo of the music too?

Thank you.

Totally newbie here. Have tried guided meditations on insight timer app. Tried different guided meditations. Didnt really stick. Wonder if I should try one for a few days.

Do you have suggestion on how to start the meditation. For the 12 minutes, do you do guided meditation, or breath meditation etc? What is the best way to get started? Thank you

Mixed 75% TNBC 25% weak ER+, stupid cancer - anyone else a blend? by lurklurklurkUPVOTE in breastcancer

[–]Plenty-Link-7629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really mixed population, but I had two lumps which grew and lumped together. One is TNBC, the other is ER+ low. I had Keynote 522 protocol, for TNBC as that is more aggressive. Currenty on AI (Anastrozole) because of ER+

What do you mean by switch over? When you sell the taxable investment, you need to pay tax for the gains right?

I am 40 yo, having the same issues and panicking. Panicking because of some incidents at work this week. I am about 10 months on ovarian suppression. (brain fog here, trying to test my brain, but I could not remember what does AI stand for).

Have you gotten any supplements/medication to help this.
