Prince Harry recommends meditation

I have a vision of him trying to meditate, tuning in to the universe, then Lilibet starts yelling for attention and Archie lands on his chest shouting 'come for a bike ride, Daddy'.

It's a hard life.

Or take his turn with the hoovering or worry about the heating bills in his mansions Urms.

True GSM
He’s a royal who’s never had to clock in, request time off, queue in a canteen for lunch, do overtime because things are a bit tight, phone the bank to query a charge or put the bins out.

How is it that William seems to be a well balanced man who will make an excellent king but Harry is 'lost', still dwelling on his mother's death and having to learn from 'the universe'?

I daren't say GSM

Easy for him to say that. Little idea of the real world the rest of us live in.

Apparently he's suggesting employers should make time for their employees to do their inner work. That should go down well on the meat counter in Tesco.

Imagine the queue at the Post Office, the surgery etc if the person behind the counter decides to meditate!
The queues are halfway up the street as it is with social distancing.

True Merlot I was thinking of the Harry who loved Army life,
loved Rugby , was so close to his brother

He’s getting paid shedloads of money to sound lost, Annie. All he has to do is turn up, spout some drivel and enjoy the fruits of his labour.

I suppose he has all the time in the world for "Inner Work", because he sure ain't doing any "Outer Work".

(that's just "work" to you and me) ?

He sound lost

Living in California, I should think $279 a month is a snip!

I agree though with the comments about the loss of his mother and the long term effect that will have had. Money can only help a certain amount and loss in childhood is devastating.

Learning to meditate is very helpful for anxiety and life stresses. There is an Insight Meditation Centre in Redwood City, California (near San Francisco) which has excellent, free online teaching with well known teachers. They are Buddhist though so you need not to mind that. It always seems a sensible approach to life to me.

^If you're in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, and even your 50s.
Being nearly 40, I think he said that to give himself another decade to lecture people about his own experiences^

Now that really did make me laugh Josieann!

An alternative way of putting it would have been "Sit down and think about what you are doing and why you are doing it before jumping in with both feet." That is a lot cheaper than a BetterUp coach at $279 a month.

Very sensible suggestion Elegran.
You could market this and undercut him. It’s a winner!

Shame he’s bonkers.

? ???

Inwouldntbbe surprised if he meditates.

But we don't know because he hasn't preached to us about it.

Meditation is always good whoever recommends it. I don't do it often enough. As far as Harry is concerned he was raised in a completely different manner. The influence of his mother (who might have been a bit alternative) disappeared suddenly from his life and left him with a family that believes in the stiff upper lip, duty and protecting the bloodline. Now he's discovered alternative therapies, like most converts he's gone completely over the top. He just needs time to absorb things properly.

I think Prince Charles has been into alternative therapies for some time . He supports homeopathy and yoga and Inwouldntbbe surprised if he meditates.

‘… even your 50s .’

So gracious to consider the old people.
Ageist git!

Think positive!!
Perhaps he means that by the time you're in your 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 100s you've got everything sorted ?

I was often in trouble for daydreaming as a child - often called Little Dolly Daydream. I should have said I was meditating. It sounds much more grandiose!

Oh, I was Dilly Daydream!
As well as being Calamity Jane
?

Years ago I went to a yoga class and at the end we sat in a circle gazing at a candle flame.
My friend and I thought it was all a bit daft but at other classes we have lain down on our mats, teacher plays soothing music and talks in relaxing tones as we wander in our minds through meadows, on the beach etc.

I'm not sure if it's the same but it's soothing and relaxing - until you come to!!

I'm sure the mums at the food bank will find his recommendation very helpful

Of course, it’s a well known fact that ‘dads’ don’t go to food banks!! If they did you would have used the inclusive term ‘parents’.

Meditation can help but it won't cure unhappiness. Whether it is the loss of his mum at a young age or taking the wrong path as an adult we can't know but Harry seems to me to be a very troubled soul.
