Both children and adults can have Attention Deficit Disorder. In children there are three main types, including the hyperactive ones and the inattentive Type, Many ADD (especially girls) sit quietly in the back of the class dreaming, and as they do not cause trouble, are often undiagnosed.

If you are an adult who thinks you may have ADD, ask yourself whether any of the following sound familiar? Are you fidgety, do you lose your car keys on a near daily basis or walk into the grocery store and completely forget the reason for being there? Have you been described as "flaky," "scattered" or "high-strung"? Are you chronically late? Then this healing magnet is for you.

It has been energized to help you with the following: relaxation, concentration, focusing; balance; harmony; and confidence. You will gradually begin to see the world in a very different way, and be able to respond to the stresses and strains in your life in a more balanced and tranquil way. Over time it will enable you to set a goal and move towards it in a consistent and measured way. You will feel supported on your journey, and more empowered in your daily life.
