Since i learned how to properly mediate (google "gateway tapes" for those interested), every time i do so i feel like "wow this is amazing i should do this more often" then 2 months pass where i don't
I don't know do you meant by "is there a term for this" but meditation has different stages and you can even experience ecstasy/happines or some rides like on psychodelics. Never experienced that stuff myself though.
It does! And i have actually experienced these in no small part thanks to the monroe gateway tapes.
The terminology i am looking for is for #4 in this chain of events:
1: I never regret a meditation session, how short or long or deep or shallow it might be. They are always a satisfying way to spend time
2: i find meditation does me a lot of good, higher focus, more energy. Its like a powernap except if i try a real powernap i wake up more tired and angry for sm reason.
3: I state that meditation might be one of the most impactful skills i have ever learned in my life.
4: I stop meditating for literal months????
Maybe i should post this as a gru meme on the adhd/autism communities idk.
It's because meditating doesn't give you an immediate dopamine hit
