Prince Harry recommends meditation

An alternative way of putting it would have been "Sit down and think about what you are doing and why you are doing it before jumping in with both feet." That is a lot cheaper than a BetterUp coach at $279 a month.

I’m sure meditation is a big help for lots of people. I would have been slightly more impressed if Harry wasn’t trying to promote the company he has a job with. You’d have to earn quite a lot to be able to pay for one of their meditation coaches.

I thought the bit about being schooled by the universe a bit odd.

Did Noel Edmunds talk to the universe ? He did cause anger
when he said negative energy causes cancer a scientific fact.

Well he could have been meditating About his ( alleged)
Fornication?

I am referring To the comment re Prince Andrew.

''I thought the bit about being schooled by the universe a bit odd.'
...........................................................................
yes, sounds a bit like David Ike and Noel Edmonds who have stated the same universe 'thing'

From personal choice,
I use breathing exercises with meditation and guided meditation, alongside yoga and tia chi
All the above help with my coping mechanism.
I suffer from high anxiety.

I am always glad to read/hear when someone other individual experiences physical or mental well-being from any of the above.

But I fully understand that not everyone has the funds or can gain access to mental health via the NHS.

Meditation can help but it won't cure unhappiness. Whether it is the loss of his mum at a young age or taking the wrong path as an adult we can't know but Harry seems to me to be a very troubled soul.

I'm sure the mums at the food bank will find his recommendation very helpful

Of course, it’s a well known fact that ‘dads’ don’t go to food banks!! If they did you would have used the inclusive term ‘parents’.

I was often in trouble for daydreaming as a child - often called Little Dolly Daydream. I should have said I was meditating. It sounds much more grandiose!

Years ago I went to a yoga class and at the end we sat in a circle gazing at a candle flame.
My friend and I thought it was all a bit daft but at other classes we have lain down on our mats, teacher plays soothing music and talks in relaxing tones as we wander in our minds through meadows, on the beach etc.

I'm not sure if it's the same but it's soothing and relaxing - until you come to!!

So gracious to consider the old people.
Ageist git!

Think positive!!
Perhaps he means that by the time you're in your 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 100s you've got everything sorted ?

If you're in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, and even your 50s.
Being nearly 40, I think he said that to give himself another decade to lecture people about his own experiences.

Meditation is always good whoever recommends it. I don't do it often enough. As far as Harry is concerned he was raised in a completely different manner. The influence of his mother (who might have been a bit alternative) disappeared suddenly from his life and left him with a family that believes in the stiff upper lip, duty and protecting the bloodline. Now he's discovered alternative therapies, like most converts he's gone completely over the top. He just needs time to absorb things properly.

I think Prince Charles has been into alternative therapies for some time . He supports homeopathy and yoga and Inwouldntbbe surprised if he meditates.

Inwouldntbbe surprised if he meditates.

But we don't know because he hasn't preached to us about it.

Shame he’s bonkers.

Very sensible suggestion Elegran.
You could market this and undercut him. It’s a winner!

^If you're in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, and even your 50s.

Now that really did make me laugh Josieann!

Apparently he's suggesting employers should make time for their employees to do their inner work. That should go down well on the meat counter in Tesco.

Living in California, I should think $279 a month is a snip!

I agree though with the comments about the loss of his mother and the long term effect that will have had. Money can only help a certain amount and loss in childhood is devastating.

Learning to meditate is very helpful for anxiety and life stresses. There is an Insight Meditation Centre in Redwood City, California (near San Francisco) which has excellent, free online teaching with well known teachers. They are Buddhist though so you need not to mind that. It always seems a sensible approach to life to me.

He sound lost

I suppose he has all the time in the world for "Inner Work", because he sure ain't doing any "Outer Work".

(that's just "work" to you and me) ?

He’s getting paid shedloads of money to sound lost, Annie. All he has to do is turn up, spout some drivel and enjoy the fruits of his labour.

True Merlot I was thinking of the Harry who loved Army life,
loved Rugby , was so close to his brother
