The presentations collected in this journal represent the breadth, the generosity and the practical usefulness of the contributions made at the Meditatio Seminar on the theme of Meditation and Mental Health.  They range from accounts of the most recent research linking meditation and wellbeing, to descriptions of the ways in which our mental health services need to be (and, in some cases, are being) reconfigured in the light of what we are continuing to discover about the role of meditation in supporting mental and physical health.
