The NeuroDivine: Spirituality & Neurodivergence
The NeuroDivine is a podcast exploring the sacred intersection of spirituality and neurodivergence. Hosted by Dr. Rabia Subhani, an ADHDer, Sufi, neurodiversity-affirming neuropsychologist, spiritual coach, and founder of QuantumQun.com, this show honors the unique sensitivities, strengths, and soul-depth of neurodivergent minds.
Through intimate conversations and soulful teaching with those who identify as neurodivergent, we explore intuitive knowing, sensory intelligence, trauma healing, divine connection, and the spiritual gifts of being wired differently.
This is a sanctuary for all neurotypes (i.e. autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, highly sensitive, empathic, etc.,) and spiritually-aware souls seeking gentle wisdom and grounded tools.
Please note that all information is meant to be informational/educational in nature, not mental healthcare/medical advice, and does not imply a therapeutic relationship with me. If you require mental health support, I highly recommend ndtherapists.com for ND individuals.
Also, kindly note that though I subscribe to the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm, I also honor and respect my guests who do not - everyone's journey is their own.
Come home to the truth that your neurotype is a Divine design and you are meant for a greater purpose than you think!

Episode 3: Grounding Through Sensory Overload (Short Practice)
This episode offers a very short gentle grounding practice specifically designed for moments of sensory overload, created with neurodivergent nervous systems in mind.
Rather than asking listeners to “calm down” or change their internal state, this practice focuses on safety, choice, and simplicity. The language is slow, minimal, and permission-based, with clearly marked pauses to support those experiencing overwhelm, shutdown, or sensory flooding.
Listeners are invited to orient to safety, reduce sensory input, anchor in the body without force, and offer themselves compassionate reassurance, all at their own pace.
This practice can be used:
- during acute sensory overload
- in moments of shutdown or near-meltdown
- as a short reset during an overstimulating day
- or revisited as often as needed
No prior meditation experience is required.
Movement, stimming, eyes open or closed: all are welcome.
This is not a replacement for medical or mental health care.
It is a moment of gentleness, offered as support.
