Toni is a Buddhist practitioner and person living with ME/CFS. She is the author of 'How To Be Sick'. Meditation and other Buddhist practices can assist us in being with whatever arises, instead of spending energy on trying to push undesirable states away. Remembering that all healing begins with acknowledging the truth, practices such as mindfulness meditation, scanning the body and metta/loving-kindness meditation can do a lot to help us on our healing journey.
