It's more an effective having smoke around than of getting high. I can get very high with gummies in my eyes are just fine.

I hear you, I've also got ADHD and a lot of trouble with executive dysfunction. I spent so much time myself while meditating going "Oh no, I forgot to count my breaths", "I'm doing it wrong!" and "Oh no, I'm hoping to get enlightened and that's going to stand in the way of doing proper meditation and actually getting enlightened - oh no, there I go again." Eventually I'd gone around on it so many times I gave up, and it stopped bothering me so much.
One of the things I got from my current teacher is that the actual practice, the important part of meditation practice, is to keep on coming back to the practice you were trying to do. That idea helps me a lot.

I mean, even my computer breathes, and (as far as I know) it isn't sentient. If she's got leds anywhere, they'd fade in and out, probably in pretty colors.

Interesting! I learned to meditate as part of treatment for an eating disorder, and it really did help with decoupling emotional stimuli (stress, conflict, self-criticism) from compulsive symptom use (binging, purging, body checking). But it was rough going at first and I worried a lot about somehow doing it wrong. (I am, as I suspect Ayo is, a perfectionist with a high level of executive dysfunction thanks to a combo of anxiety disorder and ADHD.)

FWIW my late Zen teacher said that there are some people who really should not meditate - it can make things worse for some kinds of schizophrenics, for instance, to be paying *more* attention to their inner voices or hallucinations.

Dale could give Iris advice on how to deal with her crush, and that's saying something.

I think by now everybody in Northampton must be aware that the problem is with Iris, except for Willow and Iris.

I wonder what the AI equivalent of breathing exercises would be in QC universe? Like, sniffing tea is equivalent to drinking tea, an app to get drunk etc. Maybe some kind of defragging sub-routine?

As someone with an anxiety disorder, I deeply relate to Ayo worrying that she's screwing up meditation. Yes I KNOW it will help with my anxiety THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT what do you MEAN there's no objectively correct way to do it THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.
