Anxiety & Stress

The Telegraph on-line health section reports today that, according to a Government survey, one in three absences at work are due to anxiety and stress.  The cost to industry is staggering, as is the cost to the NHS in treating those who are finding life a little too tough to cope with.

Isn't it now time to start advocating taking a little more control of our lives and learn how to help ourselves without the need of medication?

Meditation can help us do just that.  By learning to quieten the mind we give ourselves periods of peace and calm from our otherwise hectic lifestyles.  The body responds - blood pressure lowers, heart rate falls and we start to regain some balance in our lives.  We start to feel much better, much more in control and more able to cope with stressful situations.

Surely it is much better to be given a prescription for meditation rather than medication.
