Hi! I was just wondering if I could induce bipolar mania with meditation (I'm schizoaffective, bipolar type)

Um......are you wondering because you have an aim to....or because you'd like to avoid it?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That is my diagnosis as well. Everyone is different but meditation works wonders for me. Be aware of the different types of meditation, I would start with guided meditation first. Be kind to yourself, it is especially hard to "stop" our brains but it is possible. With me, it is preventative. NOT reactive. If I am in the middle of an episode it is impossible for me to do this, I need my meds. Don't get discouraged, it takes work and it is not easy but my guess is your life will be fuller and more clear if you stick with it. Please Please Please be kind to yourself when it doesn't work the first couple of times, just build upon each day!Big Grin

There are virtually thousands of articles on the web. Be sure though to find those written by real doctors or scientists and not the ones by the snake oil venders.
