Episode Synopsis

The body scan is part of most meditation instructions, but it can be difficult for people who are neurodivergent and/or have trauma. The body scan might be distracting, or force you to engage with a painful part of your body before you are ready. But it's not essential! In this episode, I teach you some modifications and alternatives to the body scan that may be easier for people with ADHD, autism, and trauma.
In this episode, learn:

What the body scan is and why it's part of meditation
Why the body scan is challenging for some of us
Alternatives that might make meditation easier
