Lupus got a mention on BBC breakfast!

There was a nice lady called Fiona and she tested the theory of meditation for releiving pain.

She had an MRI before and after/during meditation and the difference was amazing!

So........we must all learn how to meditate!

At least Lupus got a mention!

Hope you are all doing ok today.

Oh wow, thank you Paul for posting the link! Someone at work had mentioned to me that someone with lupus had been shown meditating on breakfast tv but I missed it.

Thanks Margaret also, it is great to get awareness of lupus.

This meditation sounds fascinating and very effective, would love to learn more about it.

No problem. I had somebody ask more about it on our Facebook page and found this site which gives details of courses and an online course that you can do - bemindful.co.uk/learn/about

I can recommend learning to meditate, either using CD's or going to a guided session. I go to a Buddhist center in Leicester which has lunchtime drop in sessions, it is very relaxed and I leave feeling relaxed and de-stressed. When I have the time I use the Body Scan CD - Managing pain, illness and stress with mindfulness meditation by Vidyamala Burch, Sona Fricker- It is great but I do have a tendency to fall asleep! I have attached a link to the buddhist center in Leicester.
