I find more active things do like art etc.keep me connected. Just letting thoughts come and go is not a good thing for me .My thoughts come and go all day,I can lose entire days.
And I haven't a clue where it went. Dissociation can be like meditation as can Hyper-focus like in ADHD which I also have. And yes I have focused to the point I saw the blueness and beyond and completely was aware of everything and non-being..I still feel deep sadness and tortured dreams waking up heart pounding hard.
