Joaniepat:
My Women's Health Physio wants me to do 5 minutes of meditation twice a day. She mentioned Headspace and Calm. What do you think folks? Anyone using these for meditation? Are they worth the money? Any other recommendations would be gratefully received, especially for anything that doesn't cost a bomb (or even free?).
Many thanks,
JP xx

I use Calm, but have recently started using Insight Timer. It's a free app.

Hiya joaniepat 🖐

I believe that  headspace "basics"  is free.   

Might also  be an idea to check out YouTube there are lots of guided  meditation vids  for all different types of meditation.. I've seen a few headspace ones on there too. .  See what you think before committing to a subscription.

Hi there

I use a Linda Hall meditation via audible. It was amazing at lowering heart rate and blood pressure a few years ago and I came off beta blockers as a result.

You can choose your ?chapter? and the times range from 9 to 16 minutes.

Give it a go! I have to say I was a super skeptic when it was recommended as the best way to avoid the meds, but it did work and I now have strategies to cope on difficult days.

It's about giving yourself 'me time'.   I had various NHS tapes for relaxation, it was finding time that was the problem.  When I sat down with a  :catscratch: we would go to sleep.  The idea is to practice several times a day ...........

As well as apps maybe as the weather improves, get into the sunshine, fresh air and scenery.  I find a walk round my garden is a good starting point as it refocuses my mind  ;)

If something helps, it's never going to be a waste  ;)
