If your doctor didn't start you meditating immediately you don't have a functioning stroke doctor or hospital. Run away to someplace better.
Amy as been trying to get this into stroke survivor rehab for years. If your doctor and stroke hospital has none they are totally fucking incompetent and irresponsible. I have never been able to mediate, I do use forest bathing in the woods for that purpose.

How Meditation Works & Science-Based Effective Meditations
Listen: YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
In this episode, I discuss the biological mechanisms of the state changes that occur during different types of meditation and describe how to develop the meditation practice optimal for you. I explain key meditation principles, such as using specific breathwork patterns and adjusting your perception to specific locations along the continuum between interoception, exteroception and dissociation. I discuss how meditation practices lead to long-term trait changes and neuroplasticity, including changing your default mood, reducing baseline anxiety/depression, increasing your ability to focus, enhancing relaxation, improving sleep, and increasing your overall happiness level. I also explain the concept behind the “third-eye center,” what mindfulness is from a biological standpoint, the power of ultra-brief meditations and how to select the best meditation and time and duration to meditate to meet your need. I also explain a novel open-eyed perception-based meditation that may enhance focus, relaxation and task-switching ability. Whether you are a novice or an experienced meditator or simply interested in how our brain controls different aspects of conscious awareness and self-regulation, this episode should interest you.
