For those of us managing Parkinson’s, the body can become a source of frustration and difficulty. It might even seem counterintuitive to think about bringing awareness to the body. In this session, we will focus on the benefits of body awareness and offer a guided meditation on awareness of the body.

Humans experience a broad range of emotions that inherently get labeled as "good" and "bad". This causes us to avoid unpleasant feelings or experiences. What many people forget is that accepting the "not so great" allows us to love deeper, experience gratitude for the lives we have built, and make transformative changes. As Steve Hayes has said, "acceptance, mindfulness, and values are keys for that transformative shift." So, instead of trying to change our thoughts, change our emotions, or change our minds, let's take a moment to embrace it all.

Developing a mindfulness practice can be a great gift as we manage our journey with Parkinson’s. But how do we do it?

In today’s session we will practice enhancing our awareness by coming to your senses. This mindful meditation will strengthen your “present-moment” awareness. Referring to the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, we will take time to explore the value of "resting in awareness" not only to facilitate clarity in ourselves, but also as a means of relating to and healing "dis-ease".
