In this episode, we explore the gifts of neurodivergence within the contemplative life.
Join us as we discover how ways of being such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia open fresh pathways to the Divine.
Check out some resources for neurodivergence mentioned on The Contemplative Life blog.
AUDIBLE LEARNERS
Kindle
Kindle has the ability to read books to you. This has been a game changer for those who find reading cumbersome but desire to read books or have a screen free wind down option at bed, since you are listening rather than scrolling.
An audible account is also a great resource for sharing books among family members or having your own library available to you. You have opportunities to collect points and also have many free options.
Blocking sound
Many learning styles and personalities find benefits from noise canceling headphones that help you lock in. Over the ear options are great if you want to make it obvious that you are not interested in conversation or engaging at the moment.
Having some affordable in ear options can also be great to keep in backpacks, next to work out clothes, or other places. For those who tend to lose items, these allow you to track them.
TACTILE INPUT
These nice plush blankets, as well as weighted blankets, are perfect for cozy hygge type evenings.
Along with that, long hot showers are a favorite way to unwind and release all the experiences from the day. Having a good shower head makes the difference as well as my favorite Eucalyptus scrub.
We are also beginning to explore rings that we can twirl as we engage on Zoom meetings or in situations when we need to release energy.
Our kids like weighted stuffed animals at bedtime. There's many cute ones to choose from to switch it up.
We are new to the world of handheld spiky textures as a way to wake up parts of the brain when we feel a bit of a slump.
