Yes, I do.

I've not found meditation to be an absolute silver bullet for RSI in the same way that I found appropriate stretches, trigger point therapy, and Pilates to be.

However, it's definitely extremely useful, and if your RSI stems from anxiety or similar issues, it's very good for treating the underlying causes.

For uncovering suppressed feelings and thoughts, my personal recommendation would be to go for a good - note GOOD - talk therapist and see if that works for you. I've found that more effective for understanding myself than meditation. But I'd certainly encourage you to give meditation a go too - a lot of people including me find it very useful.



How does that work, going to a therapist? He knows how to ask the right questions? How many sessions did you have to go to? I don't have massive amounts of money unfortunately.


You'll need a fair few sessions, unfortunately. It's not a quick process. They're trained to know what to ask, how to be useful to you, and so on - at least, the good ones are!

Note: make sure you're going to a therapist - someone with years of training in the theory and practise of psychotherapy - not an untrained/semi-trained "counsellor".
