Prince Harry recommends meditation

(183 Posts)

It was reported on The Jeremy Vine show this morning that Prince Harry has suffered from ‘burn out’ and he finds meditation was/is helpful with this. He has recommended everyone to meditate every day.
Do you meditate? Every day? Is it helpful?

I’m with Joanna Lumley. He needs to get a grip and stop being so self obsessed

I have never meditated. Poor Harry with his stressful life, the money worries. Burn out my a*se.

Sadly Diana plus his feelings are the only currency Harry can offer. He needs to stop being so self-obsessed, to find something meaningful to do, and stop offering mental health advice when he has no training.

Unfortunately he has no decent advice from the hangers on around him, and he hasn't yet been able to recognise their motives.

Sparklefizz the press followed her into a hospital ?

Anniebach Sat 05-Feb-22 11:22:02

Harry didn’t have a problem with the press until there was
Megan,

Sparklefizz I know because one of my Godson’s worked for a
daily at the time .how did the press know she was visiting the
former home of the Duke of Windsor when she was on a private holiday, how did they know she was present at a heart operation dressed in theatre garb plus diamond earrings.

She used the press

Maybe because the Press followed her to see what was happening?

It’s rather sad isn’t it?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 05-Feb-22 11:12:15

Harry won’t let Diana go. All the paranoia about the press, wanting his family to have privacy (there’s a joke) - she and her problems are mentioned because Harry’s issues seem to be rooted in his perpetuation of his mother’s problems rather than moving on as William has.

I might well agree with you about Harry but I see no reason to have a go about Diana yet again

Agree. I wrote the original post and I didn’t mention Diana. I’ve no idea whether she meditated or not.

I bet she could sit in the Lotus position though!

I think William is lucky in having sensible, grounded in-laws.

I think you’re right Callistemon. Unfortunately Harry no longer has anyone to give him sensible advice.

People in every sphere of life suffer terrible tragedies. It was terrible for the young princes when they lost their mother, as it is when any young child loses their mother. This loss was compounded by what happened afterwards including the very public funeral. Nonetheless, like others who suffer tragedy, the two princes needed to mourn, remember, and move on with their lives. William appears to have done this. Harry, not so much. I think it extremely unhealthy for Harry to be working for a mental health organisation that sells very expensive therapies. Firstly because it requires him to constantly bring up his past, and secondly because it forces the public to look closely at his behaviour and wonder why he’s doing this, and perhaps coming to less than complementary conclusions.
If I had any advice to give Harry, I would say he needs to engage himself with some voluntary work with others who are less fortunate than he is. Further counselling and using his difficult experiences will do no good at all in my opinion. It will merely force him to continue to rehash everything constantly. However I don’t think Harry wants my advice. He wants to earn money but perhaps has chosen the wrong way to do it.

Callistemon the public were a disgrace , you believe because
Blair said ‘she was the people’s princess’ the public thought
‘We must go to Buck House , sob and demand the Queen hotfoot it from Balmoral?

MissAdventure Sat 05-Feb-22 11:00:03

I havent met anyone who has thought that Diana was perfect.
I always say that is why the public (some of them) took to her, precisely because she was flawed, and human.

Nadateturbe why do you place Diana above criticism ?

I don’t think she does

Lucca Sat 05-Feb-22 10:56:47

So unkind to a woman who had issues, wasn’t perfect, had an unhappy marriage and clearly loved her children . Let her RIP

It was not because of Blair, it was the public ranting to the eager press ‘where is Queen? ‘ causing the headlines

‘Your country needs you ‘ and ‘show us you care ma’am’

I don't mean the Queen, she was used to appearing in public, composed and concealing her grief.
I meant young boys having to be paraded for the public's gratification at the instigation of Blair who labelled her 'The People's Princess'.
She was also the beloved mother of two boys, traumatised by her loss.
It was a disgrace.

MissAdventure Sat 05-Feb-22 10:47:55

How long has she been dead now?
I would most certainly say the love on the faces of diana and the children wasnt posed.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 05-Feb-22 10:45:54

Without wishing to step in Annie’s toes, how else were the posed photos, such as at the theme park, obtained? Diana courted the press for her own purposes and was happy to use her children to that end.

nadateturbe Sat 05-Feb-22 10:43:58

Diana wasn't perfect. None of us are. But her life with Charles was very sad and affected her psychologically, I'm sure. I just think its wrong to keep making judgemental comments.
And how do you know that Anniebach?
