Hi karen,

I hope you both will be better soon. I know the feeling when you want to meditate but just are too stressed. For me it's great to meditate when I am spastic because my body lets go of some of the stiffness. But it's very hard to meditate when I can not even find a good position to sit or lie to start with. What I found helpful is to include warmth and music. I will either find a warm place or a cosy blanket and also a few pillows. To start with I just concentrate on the cosy feeling around me and on the warm and entering my body. If I really am too distracted by the noise and people around me, I will use a guided meditation over headphones. I hope this was helpful in some way.
