Stress, values and meditation

Abstract

This chapter explores:

• The need for meaning

• Spirituality and the search for meaning

• Personal values

• Meditation.

Examining sources of stress in detail with others often makes me feel worse. I prefer to do this alone. Then I can talk to myself, cry, be angry, uninhibited and then work through my feelings. I don’t expect people to know exactly how I’m feeling.
