better concentration
memory and focus

this is an issue that modern society has to deal with on a daily basis. school children are being medicated to improve concentration, new dis-eases are being invented like adult attention deficit.

The Attention Deficit Disorders are very much related to the type of lifestyle we have in modern society. We are bombarded with so many external stimuli, like never before and since the nature of the mind is to find happiness, it wonders from one point to the other always trying to find more excitement. Unfortunately, the external stimuli is never enough for the mind and its wondering nature never ceases, unless the persons looks within, not outside. Meditation is the best solution for a wondering mind, a mind full of thoughts, which is nothing else but an Attention Deficit Disorder.

A mind with a Vata imbalance has this symptom, they wonder and wonder erratically and fast like the wind all over, never stopping. For Vatas, Meditation is probably one of the best things that can happen, since it brings calm to the wind storm.

A very important factor is Good sleep. Understanding that the nature of the mind is to wander. Humans in general have over 90,000 thoughts per day from these only 5% to 10% are voluntary. No wonder people can't concentrate and have so many problems in their minds. Calming your thoughts will set you free.

Anti-Vata Diet, with rich and grounding complex carbohydrates, lots of roots and proteins is necessary. It should be combined with mild grounding herbs like jatamamsi, ashwagandha, bhrami, gotu kola or skullcap. The key besides the herbs is rest, relaxation and Meditation.
