Meditation and Parkinson's Disease

Meditation and Parkinson's Disease
by Taryn SimpsonEmotional Impacts
Many holistic and some medical professionals are firm believers in meditation—especially if you have stress that needs to be released. Many people may think that learning to meditate is difficult. Actually, learning how to meditate is quite easy! There are several types of meditation to choose from such as:
Simple mediation
Walking meditation
Transcendental meditation
Mindfulness meditation
Movement meditation
As we all know, stress exacerbates Parkinson’s symptoms. In order to help alleviate symptoms, meditation is a very useful tool. For our purposes here, I will explain how to do “Simple Meditation.”Simple MeditationPlan to make meditation part of your daily routine. The best time to do meditation is first thing in the morning and then again in the evening. Set aside 10-20 minutes of time for each session.
Choose a comfortable, quiet place to meditate
Choose a time when you will be uninterrupted
Sit comfortably–you may want to try different positions
Close your eyes and try to relax
Pick a focus word or phrase that will initiate the beginning of your session (reciting a poem or a phrase that gives you peace and comfort, such as Om or “I am at peace”)
Take deep breaths–breathe in slowly and breathe out slowly.
Be aware of your body. Start at the top of your body and focus on relaxing your forehead, your mouth, tongue, neck, and shoulders, and so on until you reach your toes
Once you are completely relaxed, repeat an affirmation or focus word or phrase. Block all worries or free floating anxiety from your thoughts. Instead, use the focus phrase or word such as “I am at peace, I have energy,” or “I feel rejuvenated”
Once you have completed the meditation for 10-20 minutes, allow yourself to slowly open your eyes and start to move. You have just completed your first meditation exercise!Source:Holistic Online

My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease at 68. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of hand writing, horrible driving skills, right arm held at 45 degree angle. Things were tough for me, I too was diagnosed of COPD but now we both finally free from these diseases with the help of total cure herbal foundation, He now walks properly and all symptoms has reversed. He had trouble with balance especially at night, getting into the shower and exiting it is difficult. Getting into bed is also another thing he finds impossible. We had to find a better solution for his condition which has really helped him a lot,The biggest helped we had was totalcureherbsfoundation .c om They walked us through the proper steps, im highly recommending this herbal formula to anyone who needs help.
