Prince Harry recommends meditation

From personal choice,
I use breathing exercises with meditation and guided meditation, alongside yoga and tia chi
All the above help with my coping mechanism.
I suffer from high anxiety.

I am always glad to read/hear when someone other individual experiences physical or mental well-being from any of the above.

But I fully understand that not everyone has the funds or can gain access to mental health via the NHS.

''I thought the bit about being schooled by the universe a bit odd.'
...........................................................................
yes, sounds a bit like David Ike and Noel Edmonds who have stated the same universe 'thing'

I am referring To the comment re Prince Andrew.

Well he could have been meditating About his ( alleged)
Fornication?

Did Noel Edmunds talk to the universe ? He did cause anger
when he said negative energy causes cancer a scientific fact.

I’m sure meditation is a big help for lots of people. I would have been slightly more impressed if Harry wasn’t trying to promote the company he has a job with. You’d have to earn quite a lot to be able to pay for one of their meditation coaches.

I thought the bit about being schooled by the universe a bit odd.

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.

He walked away from the ‘Heads Together’ charity ,

Pity Andrew chose fornication rather than meditation.

Anyone born into that weird dysfunctional family would probably find meditation helpful.

Shame he’s bonkers.

Hit the nail on the head tidyskatemum
Always follow the money.

He was also doing a sales pitch for BetterUp, where he happens to be Chief Impact Officer, whatever that is. He wants everyone to have access to a BetterUp coach - currently $279 a month. Some people, when they actually have money, have other things to spend it on, like food and heating.

Good point trisher.

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.

So if you are content with life in your 50’s beware , something is going to bugger it up.

I tried meditation but my brain clearly isn't the meditating type.

If it works for some though, that's great .

‘… even your 50s .’

So gracious to consider the old people.
Ageist git!

To answer the question. He's right. Meditation is one of the most helpful things in my life. I should do it every day. When I'm feeling good I sometimes forget.

Good post Urms

Meditation, Pilates, yoga etc may help some people but there is also power in prayer..

I meditate, it has been an extremely useful coping mechanism over the years.

I got it down to a fine art when waiting in the school car park, if youngest was asleep in car seat I would switch off for 10 minutes meditation, a break from my work me before switching to Mum mode

I suppose he means well. He has had mental health issues. I think though he’s ‘rudderless’. Instead of navel gazing I think he needs a proper job of sorts (not for the money, obv) but he needs a purpose - every day. I think that would do him good. Perhaps working with others less fortunate than himself materially? That said, the great loss for him of his mother at such a young age, with the world’s eyes upon him at her funeral must have taken its toll. That, sadly, is what he has to bear and be troubled by in the wee small hours. I cannot imagine his pain.

What a doofus. Not someone to set an example.

He’s not wrong.
