This is a group event which now takes place regularly each month. Members can see our activity leaflet for details. The venue is described by members as spacious, warm and welcoming, and there is the added bonus of cakes and drinks to aid socialising after the session. The intention is to provide a therapeutic activity for ME sufferers that is more accessible than one requiring more energy and better health. We hope you will be encouraged to come along. Below are several videos and an audio to introduce you to the practice, which will hopefully distract you from your symptoms for a while and induce a refreshed, calmer state of mind. Meditation means slightly different things to different people although the aim is always to induce a feeling of well-being. In general, it's a technique for training the mind to focus on the consciousness while putting aside other thoughts and external disturbances. Over the centuries it has been (and often still is) part of almost every religion in one form or another, but in the '60s and '70s it took on a more secular form. It has been widely adopted as an alternative health treatment, and we regard it as such in our monthly session. There are several monthly "leaders" of the sessions. The two regular leaders of the sessions are Ulanah Morris (see more below) and David Ford. (www.audiomeditation.co.uk). For people with ME, meditation will not be a cure but it can help with some aspects of the illness. Some of the benefits might be:
