Being diagnosed with a life-changing condition like vasculitis is stressful enough. Coupled with the uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation, or the stresses of normal life, and you have a situation where patients could develop a number of mental health issues – not least, anxiety.
Meditation can put us in touch with our stress and anxiety, and that’s why it can be so helpful.
Explore how mindfulness and meditation can help soften feelings of anxiousness, reduce stress, and calm a panic attack in our new mindful guide to meditation for anxiety.
We have advice and free audio downloads you can access, as well as addition information in our factsheet section.
We have – free of charge – 27 of Andrew’s daily audio tracks that teach the ‘art’ of relaxation, as well as the basics of visualisation, meditation, mindfulness and more. These are suitable for all experience levels.
