Meditation and Lyme: How It Helps, How It Doesn't

Meditation has been a key part of my healing. Taking time each morning to center myself and focus on what is important is sometimes the difference between a good day and a bad day.

I wrote the following article about the benefits meditation has had on my health and well-being, but also discuss the limitations. Please click on the link below to read:

Are there any other meditators out there? How does it help you? ​

I just read the article! I loved it!

That's interesting where you said meditation can help calm the emotions.

One thing I've found with my meditation is it's a learning curve. I've been meditating for about a couple of years now, and only now do I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Everyone seems to meditate differently. I found that I had to meditate quite differently from the ways that others were recommending to me.

But there are benefits, as you've said. I've not necessarily had help with sleep with it yet, but sometimes I can get parts of my body more in alignment, or sometimes I can get muscles loosened up.

There are absolutely benefits to meditating!

Thank you for the article!

Thanks for reading! I completely agree - it takes a long time to get in the groove and you have to find your own way.
