Meditation/mindfulness

[JP26]

Hi can anyone recommend a meditation or mindfulness program or videos to try, I’m desperate for something to help with my low mood and negative critical thinking and have heard a lot about the positivity of meditation

Hi JP26 have you tried sticking your earphones in and relaxing to mindful meditation on YouTube. There's many videos on there that might help you. I use them to sleep. I like the Michael sealey ones they are great. Have a look through see what you think.

Thanks I’ll give those a try, I keep reading/seeing the benefits of meditation for helping with negative thoughts and feelings but wasn’t sure where to start

I’ve used headspace app. Not saying it’s better than others, just that I found it helpful. Unfortunately there is a fee but there are some good free 1-2 minute videos that can be really helpful to understand mindfulness. I think they also offer a free trial. Google free mindfulness medications as well. Tons of stuff. Just find ones that appeal to you. Good luck

I use insight timer. I've been meditating for a couple years. I find it very helpful

Have you tried Qi Gong? It’s like moving meditation, similar to Tai Chi. It’s helped me. You can find free videos on YouTube

Hi I haven’t even heard of that if I’m honest! I’m very much new to the whole meditation mindfulness concept so just looking for guidance really on how and where to start

I hadn’t heard of Qi gong either until a couple years ago. Decided to give it a shot. It’s empowering yet also calming
