Keep posted about meditation training and really intrigued. I know some people with TBI went all the way to Himalayas after tried everything and get into deep meditation and came back fine.
I can't travel that far and if something available here especially in East Coast I sure give it a try. Do they accept TBI/PCS sufferers or open for everyone?

Theta Z,
I saw your message on another thread and thought continue here. Thanks and sure you can copy. I also keep changing signatures based on how I feel.
I was practicing Transcendental Meditation before head injury on and off. Now I need help because of my mTBI. My mind chatters a lot (especially when symptoms hits and it happens randomly through out the day or go do anything like shopping etc.,). Some times even walking few steps I get fatigued and dizzy). I need to learn new meditation techniques.
Interesting I found a Insight meditation group in Washington D.C.

It seems it can help you in some ways and you are also realistic by not expecting a miracle cure Keep us posted about your experience when you go there.
Cheers!

pcslife,
Thanks so much for your replies to my inquiry.
It's great to hear of your experience with practicing TM meditation before-PCS. To train in meditation anew may be a good basis for our further healing. I'm so impatient with my own process, I know. I can't help the desire to do better to be better.
Like your walking a few simple steps --> dizzies, fatigue ---
like our struggles with distractions and overwhelm ---
I am beset by the dizzies & busy-ness of this mind and it is exhausting!
SO, I'm thinking some us indeed might as well put a best effort into a ~2500 yr old technique with 21st century scientific and medical backing. That's potentially a lot therapy for no cost of money.
Great news that you've found insight meditation center in the DC-area.
[ I looked at it and was pleased to find, front-and-center:
"This teaching is given freely ..." Yes. Excellent.]
Let's keep posted on our experience, yes.
Will reply more to your posts; my brain needs a break from my effort of posting. Sigh ...
And that brings me to close the notebook, close my eyes, and breathe into the present moment. Practice practice practice.
Keep up the good work pcslife.
Thanks for your encouragement here.
Good healing to you.
