Meditation Protocol for Health Professionals

My name is Paul Joyce; the author of “Meditation Protocol for Health Professionals in Australia”. I have worked in medical centres and taught medicine in universities and colleges for nearly fifteen years. Working here I noticed that doctors, medical students and students of health all had a common theme when it came to their own well-being. They were nearly always working under a great amount of pressure and were subsequently, often highly stressed. During my time in a medical school, my students also informed me that research shows that medical doctors have the second highest rate of suicide of any profession in Australia only second to dentists.

Having practiced meditation for more than twenty years and experiencing the health benefits of meditation personally, I set to form a program that could, with ongoing practice and personal commitment, help doctors and students of health, relieve their stress in an effective way. As discussed, although it was formed for this group, it can also be used by other people in the community experiencing high levels of stress.

I really do hope you can stick to this protocol into the future, as with time, you may notice big differences to your personal well-being.
