| Description: |
This practical guide gives information and resources on running meditation groups with older people, in any setting. Drawing on examples from recent research with frail older people living in a residential aged-care setting, this guide will help facilitators understand the many benefits of mindfulness meditation, and also develop the skills and confidence required to run both short- and long-term meditation groups with older people.
This guide is unique, as it takes into account the particular spiritual needs of older people, including those nearing the end of their lives, and incorporates reflections from older people who have taken part in meditation groups in aged care. The author clearly presents the evidence-based benefits of mindfulness meditation, particularly for older people, and provides clear, step-by-step instructions for running a 6-week mindfulness meditation group, as well as extra resources for further sessions.
In a world that often ignores the lives of older people in care, this much-needed resource provides a simple yet profound way for older people to find meaning and connection in their lives. It is a must-read for all who care about the spiritual needs of older people, whatever their role. |
