Fighting Parkinson’s, and being in the present moment, part 2

Where is your mind? For many with Parkinson’s, your mind is deeply rooted in fear. Being in the present moment takes you away from the fear. This was covered in the previous post, but it is such an important point, today we will cover it more in-depth to assist you further in being in the moment.

The words “You have Parkinson’s” evoke fear in almost everybody who hears those words. In large part, this is because what follows those words is a blur of words like “incurable,” “progressively degenerative,” “neurological disease,” “don’t know what causes it,” and “our treatment will not slow, halt or reverse the disease.” Fear, hopelessness, despair…those are the feelings on the way home from the neurologist’s office…and fear…all of those feelings are driven by fear. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. FAITH IS A CHOICE. CHOOSE FAITH, AND CHOOSE TO BE YOUR OWN CURE!!!

“You have Parkinson’s Disease.” (Now, let’s change it up a bit). Suppose your neurologist followed those words with this: “Parkinson’s is a symptom of your life out of balance, and you can repair the imbalances and be cured! There is a protocol called the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®, and if you do the soul, mind, and body healing of the Recipe every day, you will be cured!”

Do you now have hope? Do you now have faith? Do you now work on your cure? And what if your neurologist added this, “Oh, yes, I need to let you know that along the way toward your cure, there will be times when it will appear that you are getting worse because your symptoms will be appearing worse, but please do not worry, it is part of the recovery process, and you have nothing to fear. Have faith, and you will be cured.” Do you choose fear when you face what appears to be a worsening condition, or do you have faith in your cure?

The reason I give you this example is to show you that the fear you have in your mind about what is going on with your Parkinson’s is a self-created fear…it is the FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) that I have spoken about in the past. In the paragraphs above, all I have done is taken what I have been telling you for the last 7 and 1/2 years since my full recovery and hypothetically put those words in your neurologist’s mouth. Suddenly, you have no fear. Why? Because you chose to have no fear.

Where is your mind? If it is deeply rooted in what you are doing in the moment RIGHT NOW, then fear ceases to exist. The fear and FEAR of Parkinson’s is more deeply rooted in “what will my future be.” Well, your future is a choice. If you choose to do the Recipe and work on bringing your life back into balance RIGHT NOW, then you do not have to worry about the future.

If you are doing the Recipe, and are listening when I explain in great detail why you need not have fear when symptoms appear worse, then in the moment Right NOW, fear does not exist.

If you decide to leave this moment RIGHT NOW and you jump to the future and look to the gloom and doom you received at the neurologist’s office or on the Internet, you are choosing to have fear. Yes, choosing to have fear. If you are doing the Recipe every day, then you are curing yourself every day no matter what your symptoms look like, no matter what you have been told, no matter what your family and friends think about how you look with your symptoms, and you need not be afraid of the future.

If you are choosing fear each time a symptom appears worse, then you are still engaged in the type of Adrenaline-Mode-fear-based-mind-chatter that helped you get Parkinson’s symptoms to the surface in the first place. Living in this fear prevents recovery. Fear tires out your kidneys, and your kidneys bring energy to your brain. This is why fear is debilitating. The more fear you have, the more you shake, the stiffer you become, the slower you move, the more fatigued you feel. Please realize that fear is a creation of your mind, and you are choosing fear.

Where is your mind? Bring it back into the moment RIGHT NOW!

Fear is the only Parkinson’s symptom that is a choice. That is why I talk about it so much. It is a choice in how you decide to look at your Parkinson’s, your symptoms, and your lives. It is so powerful of a symptom of this disease, that in the midst of improving from a disease the experts say there is no chance of improvement, one “bad” day, one extra pain, one extra stiffness, one increase in tremors…one unfavorable change in any symptom causes people to stop their improvement dead in its tracks and say, “I guess I am getting worse just like the doctors said I would.”

Where is your mind? Bring it back into the moment RIGHT NOW!

That interpretation is a choice, and the choice is fear. That choice leads to FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). And that leads you down the path that causes your own fears and FEARs to come true.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE……….

CHOOSE FAITH!

Where is your mind? Bring it back into the moment RIGHT NOW! How do you do this? Keep reading…

How about if you choose to interpret the events like this: “I am doing the Recipe. I trust myself in knowing that what I am doing is the correct thing. I trust myself that I correctly have interpreted all of my improvements. I am willing to surrender control of having to fully understand every nuance or every energetic change taking place inside my body, and I am empowering myself to look at everything I am doing as long-term progress in my being cured from Parkinson’s without being fearful of the day-to-day changes that I do not fully understand. I have faith, and my faith defeats my fear.”

Where is your mind? It is creeping back into the moment RIGHT NOW!

That interpretation is a choice, and the choice is faith. Faith leads to staying with the Recipe on your path toward your cure. Faith leads you down the path that causes your cure to come true.

Choose faith over fear and visualize yourself cured.

Where is your mind? Yes, I feel it in the moment RIGHT NOW! Nice to have you back.

Say this affirmation with me: “Parkinson’s is a symptom of my life out of balance, and I can repair the imbalances and be cured. I refuse to allow changes in my physical symptoms to make me fearful. Fear is a choice. Faith is a choice. I choose Faith. I choose cured. I am worth it!”

You are worth it!!!

All my best,

Howard
