Perfect. Late diagnosis ADHD. Started to learn how to play the drums over ten years ago. Covid hit and I lost my rhythm for learning and living. Today I was laying on my back staring at clouds and I started to play my rudiments routine on my chest, just at around 53bpm, my EMDR tempo. I finished and thought “I’ll meditate, but what to do? Something breath based, something for an ADHD brain”. I found you and your meditation. It was a challenge and I nearly went off on a jamming session, but you kept me in the moment and in the meditation. Only day two for me after a long absence from Insight Timer and meditation, much is new and I’m really enjoying the discovery and this meditation is number one on my list of new regulars. Clever combo. Thank you 🙏

Today was the first time that I actually sought out a midday meditation to calm me down when I was feeling upset and it actually worked. Thank you so much. Your transparency and authenticity really helped me. Thank you 🙏🏽

I love this so much! I share it with with all of my friends and family. Especially the ones that are put off meditating because they think you have to Ommm to do it. I smile every single time I listen. Thank you ☺️

Great meditation. Slower pacing would make it a 10.

I've been doing mindful meditation daily now for a little over a month, and I've found that the first guided meditations are always the hardest. I have to do two sometimes just to feel like I've sufficiently calmed my mind. I am amazed at how quickly my mind cleared once the mediation stopped! I found the movement made it easier to focus. Thank you for this wonderful new practice!

I have pretty severe ADHD and woke up with my mind instantly going a million miles a second, worse than usual. It then spiraled into a terrible case of anxiety and uncomfortable hyperactivity. While it is not 100% resolved, this helped bring it down to a manageable level and I now feel like I can go on with my day. I really appreciate this and will return to it. Thank you.
