Mindfulness Mondays - Strengthening Mindfulness: Moment by Moment

Mindfulness meditation, like regular exercise, is a valuable self-care tool for managing Parkinson’s Disease. In this session, we'll focus on strengthening our mindfulness muscles to better cope with the unpredictability of Parkinson's. We’ll explore the physical and emotional benefits of mindfulness, practice non-judgmental moment-to-moment awareness, and cultivate mindfulness with intention in a supportive and caring environment.
Whether this is your first mindfulness Monday, or you are a returning participant, these sessions are created with the intention of including everyone. There will be time for questions following the practice.
