Hello – my name is Gerald. I’m a meditating, taxi driving, donut eating, FISU Member! My introduction to FISU was through my girlfriend, now wife, Anusha. I can remember when Anusha and I were out one evening having a drink and chatting about things we would like to do in the future, and one of the things was that she’d always been interested in learning to meditate. One year later I remember taking her to the first session of the FISU meditation course. That evening Anusha was telling me about her experience and that her teacher’s name was Muktesh. I asked Anusha “what sort of name is that?” Anusha explained that it was his spiritual name. I said “one day, you’ll have a spiritual name – Bogbrush!” I never take anything seriously at first, apart from when Arsenal loses, and then I take things very seriously.

The Easter Togathering in Norwich was amazing. Despite the numbers, everyone said how intimate the atmosphere felt and had a definite deep tranquillity.

Grey skies, long dark nights and cold weather are a prescription for the winter blues. Those suffering from depression and SAD (Seasonally Affected Disorder) will know this only too well. However, there is hope to dispel the darkness with light; but the light from within ourselves. FISU teaches a unique form of meditation that connects us with the light within us! If we can make contact with that which is within us – our higher self, or super consciousness we will find our inner light.

We know our life has come to an all time low when the emotional hurts – pains of the heart dominate our every day thoughts! Our heart feels heavy and it is possible to actually feel physical pain in this area – reflective of the mental torture we are going through. With relationships becoming more and more challenging this is something we will all experience at some stage of our life.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are distressing disorders, characterised by pain, fatigue, and a multitude of other possible symptoms including depression and anxiety. Meditation has been shown to benefit people with Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chronic Fatigue syndrome (CFS) through calming the mind and easing the body.

The Credit Crunch that has generated the current world financial crisis has had an impact both the consumer and employee alike.
