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 profoundly deep rest and relaxation that is cumulative when one meditates, gives the body more ability to restore balance and heal itself.

The Credit Crunch that has generated the current world financial crisis has had an impact both the consumer and employee alike. The World Health Authority has seriously affected the mental health of many of the population and increased cases of stress, depression and mental disorders including suicides. The World Health Authority has confirmed that around 12% of the world’s population, actually 450 million people – one in every 4 is affected in some way.
Through meditation and the relaxation gained, the conscious mind can empty itself of the surface tensions and the whole area as far down as the subconscious area of the mind is calmed. The physical tension held within the body is dissipated and the whole nervous system is refreshed. That’s why we find meditation so, so relaxing.

A non-denominational form of personally prescribed mediation transforming the lives of hundreds of Greek Cypriots has arrived in Athens, Greece.
FISU Cyprus, a branch of FISU UK, was established almost 10 years ago and now has 11 teaching centres over the island.
The attraction of FISU Meditation is that it is not a religion and therefore does not conflict with firmly held beliefs. On the contrary, it enables people to embrace their beliefs with greater understanding and therefore, commitment.
Regular meditation will eliminate negative stress, which in turn improves physical health. The insecurities that most people suffer from are easily overcome as we gain powerful, inner strength from going within ourselves - as strength is an attribute of the deeper levels of the mind. We unfold greater confidence and self esteem, which in turn helps us in relationships, both personally and at work. We begin to function, not from nerves and hypertension, but from a reservoir of peace where we unveil that pure light of spirituality within ourselves that then reflects outwardly to everything around us.
FISU Meditation is a totally unique form of personally prescribed meditation, where techniques are given to each individual based on their unique vibration. As our fingerprint and DNA prove, though we are collectively related as the brotherhood of man, through our journey over many lifetimes we have found individuality - a unique identity. Rajesh Ananda prescribes meditation and spiritual practices for each person based on their unique identity, the purpose of which is to create integration between the body, mind and spirit, leading you from individuality to universality.
All FISU non-residential courses are entirely free and involve 10 sessions that take 3 months to complete; however, the organisation encourages donations to help it continue its work.
Rajesh Ananda comments” I am overjoyed that FISU has now arrived in the Greek Capital of Athens. As in Cyprus, I know that we are going to be well received, and will transform of the lives of many people who seek a better quality and understanding of life. It’s wonderful for us to start in one of the original seats of world philosophy and we now bring an updated version of this for man of this era”
Guru/Spiritual Teacher, Rajesh Ananda. Leader of FISU - Foundation for International Spiritual Unfoldment is holding a series of public talks on the benefits of meditation as follows:
Dates:
Tuesday, 25th September 2007 at 19.30 Hours
&
Wednesday, 26th September 2007 at 19.30 Hours
Venue: Hotel Kaningos 21
Address: Kangingos 21 & Halkokondyli Street, 155 41, Athens
For more details of FISU’s work please see www.fisu.org or call FISU’s International Office in London on 020 8523 3133. Rajesh Ananda can also be contacted directly at: Rajesh.Ananda@fisu.org at the London Headquarters.
Rajesh Ananda & Jasmini Ananda, founders and leaders of FISU will be available for interviews during the day of above dates, or after the public talks at the hotel by prior request.
Note to Editors:
These teachings come from one of the greatest Spiritual Masters of the 20th Century - Gururaj Ananda Yogi. Since his passing on the 17th May 1988, his teachings have been promoted and propagated by Rajesh Ananda and Jasmini Ananda, two of his prime disciples.
FISU’s headquarters are located in London, UK, but there are 62 centres around the world where our meditation courses are held. You can learn meditation in various locations and languages.
There is a deep and profound philosophy behind our work which acts as a support system to the Spiritual aspirant, and when embraced, heightens the speed of progress.
Our highly trained teachers are waiting to serve and guide you, but you have to walk the path yourself. Therefore, we give you personally prescribed meditation tools by which you can do this for yourself, as these tools or practices harmonise with you in totality and lead you to the light within yourself.
Learning meditation is a process of self-discovery, whereby our unique techniques create integration between the body, mind and spirit which in turn allows us to live a more harmonious life as we are led from fragmentation to integration.
FISU is neither a religion nor a sect, but a collection of individuals, who regardless of their background, beliefs or upbringing, through meditation and spiritual practices have unfolded the ability to find communion with their inner spirit.
We want to share this discovery and the endless benefits of meditation with you, and invite you to browse our website for more information. Our meditation courses are very informative which makes the process of learning meditation very enjoyable. Furthermore, our techniques are personally prescribed for each individual, and therefore to learn meditation with FISU is in itself a unique experience. Our meditation course is based over an initial 3 month period, during which you have meditation classes twice in the first week and then on average once every other week.
Spiritually unfold and let the Heart’s energies be the guiding force in your life, and let your mind be the vehicle to express this by achieving total self-integration.

“At give er at få” er en af de vigtigste erfaringer, jeg har gjort som meditationslærer. Det er som med penge, der skal være i bevægelse for at gøre nogen nytte. Det samme gælder kundskaber og erfaringer. Jeg antager, at lærere indenfor alle områder har denne erfaring.
Siden er det jo klart, at den som underviser oven i købet altid lærer en masse. Alle elever har nye synsvinkler med sig (og ofte udfordringer). I mit virke som it-konsulent har jeg også konstateret, at uddannelse og instruktion kræver et betydeligt dybere kendskab til f.eks. et bestemt dataprogram end det kendskab, der kræves for selv at anvende dataprogrammet.

Når man hurtigt tænker på ordet balance, giver ordet måske ganske intetsigende og farveløse associationer. Måske blander man det sammen med en karakterbrist. Det er jo populært at favorisere det farvestrålende og dramatiske, mens det balancerede opfattes som kedeligt. Sådan er det jo ikke.
For min del har stræben efter balance ofte betydet en balance mellem det ekstroverte og introverte. Det virker stadigvæk, som om mange gode ideer stagnerer på tankestadiet og ikke bliver virkeliggjort, men det er blevet lettere at udskille de ideer, som virkelig er værd at føre ud i livet og at sætte konkrete mål og fuldføre dem - i daglig tale at prioritere.
En anden faktor - som giver mere produktivitet - er, at meditation effektivt forbedrer evnen til at kommunikere. Med bedre kommunikation kan gode ideer få nyt liv blandt f.eks. ens medarbejdere eller kollegaer. Det er trods alt et faktum, at visse personer er bedre til at fuldføre og virkeliggøre ting og sager.

Menneskets væsen indeholder altid et element af søgen og længsel. I bedste fald er det en bevidst søgen efter kærlighed og sandhed. I dag virker det mere til at være en jagt på oplevelser og dertil hørende forbrug. Disse oplevelser taber hurtigt deres nyhedsværdi og efterlader en tomhed, som igen må fyldes. Vi længes ofte tilbage til en idealiseret svunden tid eller drømmer om en rosenrød fremtid, når vi endelig slipper alle de små daglige bekymringer. Når vi lever enten i fortiden, som ikke eksisterer længere eller i fremtiden som ikke er her endnu, er slutresultatet, at nuet føles meningsløst og gråt. Nogen gange udfylder vi tomheden ved at blæse tanken om vores egen fortræffelighed op. Denne tænkemåde er grobund for en irrationel opførsel, en følelse af ubehag og usundhed.
Min personlige erfaring er, at et ærligt søgende før eller senere leder til noget værdifuldt. I mit tilfælde begyndte denne søgen at få tydelig karakter som ca. tyveårig. Som mange andre begyndte jeg at læse esoterisk litteratur, som jeg faldt over. Siden fulgte en mere praktisk periode, hvor jeg prøvede et par praktiske veje med større alvor. Så her i eftertankens lys virker det, som om alle veje og genveje lige så stille ledte mig til den metode, som jeg i de sidste ti år har brugt - d.v.s. de enkle, men effektive meditationsteknikker, som FISU underviser i. Det gælder både selve teknikken og den filosofi som ligger bagved. Jeg havde f.eks. meget værdsat Swami Vivekanandas værker og det var en glad overraskelse, da det viste sig, at Rajesh Ananda anbefalede ham som nyttig læsning.
Med hjælp af meditationen oplever jeg at blive bedre til at leve her og nu.

Ge bort så får du, är en av de viktigaste erfarenheter jag gjort som meditationslärare. Det är som med pengar, som skall vara i rörelse för att göra någon nytta. Samma sak gäller kunskap och erfarenheter. Jag antar att lärare inom alla områden har denna erfarenhet.
Sen är det ju klart att den som undervisar alltid lär sig en massa på köpet. Alla elever hämtar med sig nya synvinklar (och ofta utmaningar). I mitt yrke som it-konsult har jag också konstaterat att utbildning och instruktion kräver en betydlig djupare kunskap än den som behövs för att själv personligen använda t.ex. ett särskilt dataprogram.

Vardagen är full av uppgifter som pockar på att bli utförda. Om man vill ha balans i sitt liv är det viktigt att lära välja ut de saker som är väsentliga. Inre balans är här en viktig faktor. Det inre beslutsfattandet blir mera effektivt när man ser mera neutralt på saker och ting.
