Guided Meditations For All
We are a neurodiverse world, and we all need different mindfulness practices. Some of our brains are wired to benefit from concrete, sense based meditations. Some of us benefit from using imagery in our meditations. Try the different practices and choose which one is best for you.
Concrete Guided Meditations - Plain Language
Many neurodiverse adults and those of us who like concrete language tend to use these.
Guided Meditations that use Imagery
Caregivers, educators, helping professionals tend to use these.

Sue Hutton started her path to mindfulness in 1985. She did professional training with Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and has since then taught over a thousand people in a wide range of communities. Sue focuses much of her work these days on supporting mindfulness in neurodiverse communities and caregivers.
Sue's career as a social worker and work in disability advocacy allow her to add a special perspective to traditional mindfulness techniques.

MAKING MINDFULNESS ACCESSIBLE
"I've taught mindfulness in developmental services, in the education system, in cancer care services, and in the prison system. I also lead clinical groups with autistic adults and their caregivers for research in mindfulness for neurodevelopmental disabilities at CAMH.
Teaching those with a disability, or cancer, caregivers, educators, and health professionals with the lens of my advocacy perspective has shown me the importance of making mindfulness accessible to anyone".
