I’ll second the suggestion that you should try to do what you’re comfortable with. I have to use Mindfulness tools (being in the present moment and ignoring all distractions) in order to meditate because I’m easily distracted. But if you I can remain focused on not letting anything take over your mind except the feeling of your breath, even for a short time, it does help me feel calmer and less stressed—and reduce the likelihood of events, if they’re a trigger for you.

That’s my own experience with it, and it takes practice. So you may want to try it. Good luck and stay healthy and seizure free…

No offenence, but I don't believe and never have. No proof and so many horrible things that happen to good people and wonderful innocent kids in hospitals suffering, shootings along with many other things. We do have alot of good and its amazing were all here, but a book, preachers, pators whatever people believe doesn't do it for me. This wasn't pounded in me when I was a kid, so I had the choice.
No offense at all. We wouldn't be on this site if prayers were answered.
I was just on a Cruise. A mother who was on a cruise site whom was on my cruise asked people if they saw a kid, in a wheel chair on a ventilator to please say happy birthday because he lived past his life expectancy.
I used to have grandma's and I'd come around as many blank asking what happened. I believe that's what's happens when we go. BLANK. NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE , I LOVE YOU ALL.

prayer.. and reading the bible... meditation doesnt always help just stay stress free

I feel your situations in life. But unfortunately that is life. We all deal with external stumulai, news, social media, even a bad song on the radio, differently as all of our brains are wired for only us and nobody else. Best to block out the horrors. Saying you don't believe is not common sense though. Not believing in a higher power is however. We make our own lives, and unfortunately other people do too. There are many bad people, who by their own choices, create misery for others, mostly to satisfy their own misery. It never works, but that is the path they choose.

I DONT MEDITATE... i pray to God its different but works better ... Praying to god will have ya get answered prayers, maybe not exactly right away, but it will relax you better..

prayers do get heard, many get answered even when others pray for those people like yourself

take care
