The benefit of guided meditations
Meditation is an excellent way to focus and calm the mind. It has many benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep and increasing productivity. While it's easy to get started with meditation on your own, guided meditations can be a great way to increase the effectiveness of your practice. Guided meditations can help you stay focused and connected to your breath, which can make it easier to achieve a state of mindfulness.
Gradually increase your practice
In this audiobook, we bring you four guided meditations to help improve your focus and attention, designed specifically for people with ADHD. The best way to do this is to start off with a daily practice of the shorter meditations (5 minutes), and gradually over the course of 4-8 weeks, begin a daily practice of the longer meditations (10-15 minutes). We have included some bonus activities in some of the guided meditations, and you will benefit from incorporating these into your daily practice, especially from the 4 weeks+ mark.

Breakfast with the Scavengers

Ben Rhys Palmer

In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.

A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.

At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.
