When our lives become hectic, it is easy to miss the beauty and wonder of simple, ordinary moments of our lives. During this session we will have an opportunity to pause and embrace those ordinary moments with curiosity and an open heart.

We all think. Mindfulness won’t stop our thoughts, but it can change our relationship to them. In this session, we’ll explore how to notice habitual thinking patterns—especially those tied to worry, self-criticism, or uncertainty about Parkinson’s—and learn to release what no longer serves us. A guided meditation will help cultivate calm focus and clarity.

A medida que la enfermedad de Parkinson progresa, las personas pueden experimentar cambios que van más allá del movimiento, incluidos síntomas no motores como cambios en el pensamiento, el estado de ánimo y los delirios. Este webinar explorará estos síntomas, con especial atención a las alucinaciones, e incluirá consejos sobre cómo responder con empatía cuando alguien que usted conoce o cuida experimenta una alucinación. El programa también abordará conceptos erróneos sobre las alucinaciones y cuándo es conveniente hablar sobre las opciones de tratamiento con un proveedor de atención médica.

La conversación también analizará cómo la cultura, la familia y la comunidad influyen en la forma en que se comprenden y manejan estos síntomas, con el fin de ayudar a los participantes a sentirse mejor preparados para apoyarse a sí mismos o a un ser querido.

When our minds take us to non-resilient places (such as when we jump to conclusions, or let our emotions cloud our judgment), it helps to have a go-to move to bring them back to a calmer place.  

In this session, we will learn how to notice common difficult habits of the mind, to pause, and then to mindfully return to a better place.  As we do so, we give ourselves the best chance of choosing a better next step.
