Do My Son And I Have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

This post answers questions from an anonymous reader about whether they and their son have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Anonymous: Hello. I’d like to ask a question about my child’s and my health condition. I have faced a mental breakdown a couple of weeks back after going through some therapy sessions. I think I may have ADHD symptoms.

Council: Wonderful title. We love what you create in your realities where you must put a word on what you are experiencing.

Anonymous: Even though my child is very good with his studies, he seems to have focus issues, as well. He’s still young and talented. I would like to ask The Council if both of us, indeed, have ADHD, and if so, how can we improve our focus without taking any medicines for it? Medicines have adverse side effects and I’d like to make sure we can cure this, or learn to live with ADHD without using drugs.

Council: It’s a wonderful thing you chose with your child. Together you chose it to come in with where you were experiencing hyperactivity, or not being able to focus, and you thought it would be fun to learn to correct it together. And so, because this is planned and you are right in the middle of it, we would say forget the title. So you get a little hyper sometimes. Okay. You get a little nervous. Okay.

It would be good to have downtime with your child where you sit together and listen to music. And then when it’s finished in five minutes (a very short time), tell each other what you thought of and what you saw when you listened to the music and your eyes were closed. That will bring the calmness or the stillness.

And then with the focus – this is very good – you can draw pictures, and put a number on top of a picture. There’s Picture #1, #2, #3, and #4. And you sit and show each other pictures. And you have your child draw anything (scribbly whatever), and give five pictures that you have to look at. So you would show them to your child, and then you would cover them up and say, “What was in Picture #3? What did you see?” And that brings in the focus. Slowly it gets the brain to focus and remember. Then your child, whatever it’s possible to draw for you, what do you remember?

And so there’s also a period where you can sit and either tell each other stories, or read stories from a book. And after a page or two say, “Okay, now you tell me back, what do you remember that I’ve read to you from this story?” And so that is how you begin to get the brain to focus and no medicines would be necessary, but it would take work to do this, but we see it is what you wanted. And the change can come about if you do the work.

Anonymous: I’m also in between jobs at the moment. Can The Council please guide me toward what jobs will suit me and my son, given we may have ADHD attention span issues? Thank you and God bless you.

Council: Anything where you can do paperwork, do it on your own, work in a small shop, perhaps do some planting, anything where you are not in a large corporation or working with a lot of people. This particular lifetime is for you to focus on (how you put it back then) shortcomings from the past and how you would correct them in your current life. So anything at all that would put you in a small work area would help build this.

We wish you great happiness on your journey. All of you, you’ve all created this, and you all wanted to learn so much from what you have created. And we would say, with that, have fun with it.

Do I Have ADHD?

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Starfish.

Starfish: I have been having a lot of health-related issues: anxiety, stress, a pulmonary disorder, and asthma. I think I may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is making the situation worse. Can The Council please guide me if I indeed have ADHD? I have been going to a therapist for sessions to control my anxiety.

Council: The anxiety comes from situations and people around you. So we would say at this point in your life, it seems that a change would be very good for you when you are ready. Find the people to put yourself in a different position, a different environment, almost with the thought of starting life all over again.

The anxiety comes from some past life where you’d like to handle it differently this time and learn how to deal with it. We would say for you, at this point, it would be wonderful to meditate, even if it’s for five minutes a day. For many people it is difficult to sit still and concentrate. And we’d say you don’t need to concentrate. All you need to do is sit and listen to a sound, or imagine something, but not to think of everyday situations or everyday problems. Just to sit and relax.

Starfish: The other situation is my reduced lung capacity. It’s currently reduced and operating at only 70%.

Council: Now what is needed here, along with the chakra breathing to align your energy in your chest and in the back, it would be wonderful for you, when you can, to get close to, if possible, the ocean, and to sit and just breathe that air in. Also walking in nature, walking and taking deep breaths to learn how to breathe from your diaphragm, in and out from that part of the body and not just from the chest. That would help to improve your lung capacity along with the meditation and the chakra breathing. In time, things will sort of align themselves and help you, and that will help with the anxiety.

Starfish: Can The Council please guide me if I should continue to work in the software engineering field with these health limitations?

Council: We’d say it would be good to be able to delegate work and teach others. If you can apply for a position teaching and explaining at a beginner level, it would help your whole emotional feeling and physical being.

Starfish: If I should continue in software engineering, should I go for an individual contributor kind of role, or a leadership role? I’m truly confused about what to do in my career going forward.

Council: We would say in time, not at the moment, going into a leadership position would be great. As we have said, teaching would be good. And then eventually, when that is going well for you, you can apply at other places where you can teach, but in a position where you move around. And the movement, meeting other people and being out, and not just in the office constantly, will help you immensely.

Starfish: I need to be able to continue to do my job, but I’m not able to compromise on health, as I have faced an extremely challenging time in the last year. Please guide me. Love and light, Starfish.

Council: If you follow these instructions, you will see your life will begin to change. Things will become more to your liking, they’ll become easier, your health will feel better, and your emotions will feel better.

And so think also, when you’re not working, is there something else you’d like to do? Is there a craft or a hobby? If you like to read, we would suggest finding books and articles to read that make you feel good. And so, doing different things will change how you are handling things now.

Listen to the entire 6-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Starfish and the rest of us, and let us know what you feel about it.

You can also ask The Council your own free question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages, and we’ll answer it when we have time. For the time being you don’t have to attach your name to the comment, but there have been a lot of anonymous comments lately and it can be confusing for us to keep track of these. It would help us if you made up a name rather than using no name.

If you prefer to keep your comment private, you can pay $60 to speak with The Council on the telephone for a half-hour by clicking this link. Once we receive your payment, we’ll contact you by email to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for your phone call and your questions.

You’re Here To Learn To Use Your Thoughts To Create The Life You Want

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Rebekah.

Rebekah: I’ve been feeling a bit paranoid recently. I’m afraid of being powerless, I’m afraid of losing control of my mind, and I’m also afraid of developing schizophrenia.

Council: So many people in your reality right now are feeling powerless and are wondering what’s going on in this world, forgetting that you are the one that’s creating your world. Feeling powerless and worried and confused, that vibration is all around. And so how you counteract this is by thinking about the way you’d like this world to be, the way you’d like to be, and the way you’d like your friends and family to be. Ask to see it. Ask to see more people experiencing joy. Put that out there and then just watch and see what the universe brings to you. You are not powerless, and you are not out of control. You are just here to learn how to use your thoughts to create the life that you want.

Rebekah: My cousin has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and I wish I could know how to help him.

Council: Your cousin’s journey is different from yours, and by helping him you can not change what he’s created for himself. There are reasons he wants to go through this. And so all you can do is show him love, show him understanding, and show him kindness at all times. That’s your only role here. You can’t change another person. Look at him as a spirit. Respect him for whatever reason he’s chosen this path. Part of it is to get you to accept it.

Rebekah: Anyway, I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) a few years ago. The diagnosis makes sense to me. My therapist said I seem to be currently experiencing some kind of trauma response, but the trauma is unknown. I did psychedelic mushrooms for the first time on New Year’s Day this year and had a frightening experience of being a baby and being afraid.

Council: When you’re in this condition of being afraid of losing your mind, do you feel it’s wise to experiment with mushrooms?

Rebekah: My boyfriend called my Mum and she helped me settle down and reframe what I was experiencing. But I do wonder if that triggered me in some way because I started becoming paranoid and obsessed with doing the right thing and making the right decision for my higher self.

My therapist said my ADHD was making those intrusive thoughts 100 times worse because I’d start overanalyzing everything and struggle to snap out of it. I’m currently on anxiety medication that has helped a lot, but right now I feel myself slipping a bit and I just feel a bit on edge. I had a bit of an energy drink today and also some wine last night, so maybe there’s my answer.

Council: So again we ask, do you think that was wise? Did it work out positively for you? Or are you now having an experience where you don’t feel that good?

And so when you make choices, just sit back and see how they affect you. Did it make it better, or did it make it worse? And then there is your answer. And then in the future, you have the choice to do it or not to do it again.

Rebekah: But I feel different, and feel all the pressure to save the world.

Council: And that is impossible.

Rebekah: I feel powerless and powerful at the same time. I have so much restless energy and so many ideas, but no follow-through. I’m so afraid of losing the people I love and something bad happening. I guess I’m just hoping for some guidance from The Council.

Council: We’d ask you to do the chakra meditations. And for you we’d say to be outside more, to be among the trees, to be around nature, and that will help the way you feel. Reconnect to the Earth. Learn how to ground. And then work on finding happy thoughts, whether it’s something you fantasize about, or whether it’s a memory you have, like a happy childhood or a holiday. Think about that. When you use the discipline of your mind to choose your thoughts, to choose happy thoughts, your energy will change. It’s the law of your universe.

Rebekah: I’ve started a counseling course in an effort to have a career in something I enjoy, but I’m worried I won’t be able to handle it with my mindset.

Council: So how do you go into this course when you are already worried? The thing before you go into this course is to change your vibration by thinking this course will be wonderful for you. It will give you more understanding of what goes on. It will help you bond with people and understand what they go through. And that sort of thinking will change how you feel.

Rebekah: How do I become comfortable with powerlessness?

Council: You are not powerless. That’s the first thought. If you let your mind and your thoughts rule you, then you’re not in control, but you have the choice to have better thoughts. And once you get in line with that, you will see how strong you truly are.
