Living with Parkinson’s can create tension in both body and mind, often leaving the nervous system on high alert. In this session, we’ll explore how mindfulness and compassion practices can calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and restore a sense of ease. Through guided loving-kindness meditation and practical techniques, you’ll learn how to nurture warmth, self-acceptance, and resilience—helping both your body and mind find balance in everyday life.

We all think. Mindfulness won’t stop that. What mindfulness can do is help us be aware of our thoughts so that we can put attention and energy into the thoughts that serve us, and let go of the thoughts that aren’t helpful. In this session, we will discuss how this works and offer a guided meditation on awareness of thoughts.
