It is helpful if you already have a meditation practice, as those with a regular practice will have developed a level of concentration and focus that can help. However, if you are keen and willing to give everything a try and offer 100%, then you are very welcome to participate.

You will need:

  • A notebook and pen to write your meditation diary

  • A quiet space to practice in your own time
