ADHD a Broader Perspective 🧠
ADHD isn’t a lack of attention or focus, which is usually just the symptom. I’ve come to see it as a neuro-expansive nervous system operating without a regulator. And honestly, I’ve found myself wondering… what if ADHD isn’t pathology at all — but just a wider fuller bandwidth even a superpower? A system tuned to receive far more signal than society and the body knows how to hold. What I’ve seen again and again is this: neuro-expansive minds don’t struggle because they can’t focus. They struggle because their perceptual field is wide, porous, alive, Taking in micro-sensations, emotional currents from others around them, patterns, possibilities, futures… all at once. And when the body doesn’t feel safe enough to hold that much information, I see the same thing happen every time. The system fragments. This is where breathing, for me, stops being “calming" and starts being foundational. I’m constantly following research from places like the HeartMath Institute and other leading researchers and what stands out is this: Coherent breathing reorganises the entire flow of information between the heart, brain, and nervous system which absolutely includes the vagus nerve , serotonin production , gut microbiology, immunity. This alone shows how fundamental coherent breathing is and how it directly effects every area of our life. What I’ve found in neuro-expansive systems is that attention doesn’t actually want narrowing. This is the traditional pharmacutical approach of amphetamines , which i was on for over 12 years and yes they helped me fit into the box society has shaped for us but it also stunted my creativity, damaged my guts and caused me to try not taking the pills to increase my creativity but this would always be followed by unfounded awful suicidal ideation. A clear withdrawal effect from powerful and damaging drugs. But there is a better way , as really what we're dealing with is a sensitive and wide open unregulated system, It wants coherence. It wants a stable field to land in.
