Relax

Relaxation is the key to living well with Parkinson’s. It is important to have something you physically do to release the tension in your body.   Your muscles ache, they tighten and tense up. Exercise helps relieve the tension you feel in your muscles.  I use guided meditations to help me through the harder times, mostly during the night when I cannot sleep.

There is a relaxing form of yoga called Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep). It is a form of meditation and relaxation.  I find it to be calming, and I drift off to sleep when I practice Yoga Nidra. Recently, I found a Yoga Nidra video that is fantastic! The person’s voice is soft, tender, and relaxing. You cannot resist, you will relax. This Yoga Nidra video is the best I’ve experienced. Try it on a night you cannot sleep. Enjoy!
