Mindfulness Meditation (MBSR)

for Chronic Fatigue

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) adapted for chronic fatigue, focusing on reducing psychological burden and improving coping and sleep quality without triggering post-exertional malaise.

How it works

Mindfulness reduces HPA axis reactivity and inflammatory cytokine levels, potentially addressing the autonomic dysregulation seen in CFS. Lying-down body scans avoid triggering PEM.

What to watch for

Must be adapted for CFS โ€” lying-down practices are preferable to walking meditations. Do not push through fatigue during sessions.
