When healing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; meditation can be a great help when it comes to dealing with anxiety, fears, and obsessive worry. It is only when we allow our fears to be a part of us, and accept them as our self trying to protect us from pain, that we can begin to move forward. Fear is not so much 'got rid of', more transformed and transcended. Body felt fear is really our body speaking to us, calling out to us to embrace it. Meditation is one way that we can sit quietly and focus on all parts of the self, not only those parts we are familiar with, but it is also an opportunity for us to give time and listen to those parts of us that we often ignore. By giving attention to our hearts, we can begin to heal. Having too much time to think and worry can make your health worse and so meditation is a great way to relax and calm the mind - which in turn can help with sleeping problems and other uncomfortable results of anxiety. This exercise is about being still with yourself, your emotions, as you are NOW. Not trying to change. Meditation is not forcing your body and mind to do something against it's will - this will only create tension and result in frustration. Meditation is about being present in yourself, whatever you are doing - in your relationships, your work, and your daily activity. This will allow us the opportunity to listen to the body's concerns and act upon their wisdom, showing it that we can be trusted to do so. It is important to note however that meditation is unlikely to bring quick relief - but over time, used as a life practice, we are promising ourselves that our fears will be listened to and we will be able to tap into our inner wisdom. If you find it difficult to stay still for long periods of time (which many anxiety sufferers do), do not force your body to do so. If it wants to move, let it move. Action can also be mindful if we make it so. Yoga is a great way to meditate while moving. It offers physical and mental wellbeing, and it leaves you energised, where most other forms of physical activity leave you tired, or even exhausted. But Yoga is so much more than physical exercise, it promotes calm within the body, helping your immune system, as well as relaxing your vital organs. A few simple stretches within your limitations could be all it takes to show your body that you are listening. In conclusion - meditation can be a useful tool in helping us calm the mind, giving us the opportunity to listen to what our bodies are really telling us.
