Meditation

We are, without doubt, living in difficult times on a personal and global level.  Many people refuse to watch the news or read newspapers for fear of it dragging them down.  Many individuals are struggling financially, either through unemployment, losing their jobs or being overloaded due to workplace downsizing; relieved they still have employment but imploding under the pressure of carrying the extra workload once done by colleagues now made redundant.  The disproportionate rise in cost-of-living to wages.  Plus a diversity  of personal and family issues that frequently come along to test us:  abuse, bereavement, bullying (at home or in the workplace), illness, family breakdown, relationship worries, moving house/area.   Phew, no wonder people come into counselling struggling with depression, anxiety, stress,  low-self esteem, insomnia, exhaustion etc.,  and so forth.
