Stuart Murdoch, frontman of Belle and Sebastian, invites you to join him in a guided meditation. Through his own journey with ME, Stuart has discovered how meditation can calm and support the nervous system. #MEAction is deeply grateful to Stuart for sharing his time and talents to uplift the ME community. We encourage you to take a moment to listen and follow along with his meditation. Please adapt the practice in whatever way feels right for you.
