MPN Awareness Day Meditation with Asher Packman

September 14, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Asher Packman, an MPN patient and President of Meditation Australia has kindly offered a free meditation to MPN patients, their families and carers to mark MPN awareness day this Thursday, 14 September at 1pm (AEST).

The MPN AA invites you to join Asher for a live online meditation as part of MPN Awareness Day.

Asher (who was diagnosed with an MPN in 2010) will host a 30-minute session via Zoom.
Anyone with an MPN – as well as their families, friends and carers – are welcome to join at no cost.

As research is now clearly showing, meditation is a valuable practice for our health, with benefits such as stress reduction, pain management, improved sleep, enhanced coping skills and resilience, as well as overall improvements in vitality. Coming together with a community of people on a similar journey is also of great support, and this is amplified during meditation.

Asher promises a simple but profound practice, accessible to complete beginners and more advanced practitioners alike.

We hope to see you there.

Background

MPN Awareness Day is an annual event that is held in September each year to raise awareness about myeloproliferative neoplasms. The aim of the day is to educate people about MPNs and the impact they can have on patients and their families. It also serves to encourage early detection, diagnosis and treatment. MPN is a complex condition and it is also crucial to understand the different types, their symptoms, diagnostic methods and available treatment options.

The MPN AA thanks Asher Packman for offering this meditation.
