Last week, I posted Fighting Parkinson’s, and heading toward full recovery. In that post, I mentioned that the Recipe had taken hundreds of you to partial recovery. Over the past week, I have received many inquiries as to what is partial recovery. Here is my response. Continue reading
If you are doing the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®, you are heading toward your full recovery. Know it. When others look at your external symptoms and think you are getting worse and cannot keep it to themselves, you have to know that you are heading toward your full recovery, and you have to politely ignore them. That is called self-preservation on your path toward full recovery, and it is a critical component of this recovery. You can do it! Continue reading
If you look deeply inside yourself in your heart and soul, in your essence, here is what you will find as an inherent part of your nature: abundant health, love, joy, happiness, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude. They are the real you. Continue reading
In the Recipe, there is Standing and Balance and the Neck Exercises to assist with your neck, back, and balance. Recently, I have noticed with a number of people I am coaching that the alignment of their neck and back is poor, and I did a little “outside the Recipe” research looking for additional assistance. The experiment with a small group of individuals has turned out well, so today, I will share it with all of you. Continue reading
Self-fulfilling prophecy: “A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.” Source: Wikipedia. When thinking about life, and Parkinson’s, and fear, and FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real), I realized that many people’s self-fulfilling prophecies involve negative things. So, today, let’s explore making your recovery a POSITIVE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY! Continue reading
In my last post, I explained that as long as you are doing the soul, mind, and body parts of the Recipe every day, then you are laying a strong foundation for your recovery. Today is a reminder from the tortoise that your speed doesn’t matter…forward is forward. With that in mind, let’s keep moving forward and laying a strong foundation in your recovery. Continue reading
Doing. Taking action to lay a strong foundation in your recovery is what it takes. In Not Always So, Suzuki states, “To be completely concentrated on what you do, that is simplicity. And the beauty of practice is that it can be extended endlessly. You cannot say our way is quite easy or that it is very difficult. It is not difficult at all. Everyone can do it, but to continue it is rather difficult. Don’t you think so?” Continue reading
It is easy to get lost in Parkinson’s Disease. It is confusing…the disease is confusing, the medical profession saying they do not know what causes it is confusing, being told you can’t get better is scary but also confusing, and even holding out hope and faith that you are healing yourself still can be confusing. Sometimes you feel lost. How do you find your way back home? Continue reading
I realized in my Parkinson’s recovery that I was very much out of balance, physically of course, but also mentally and spiritually. When things occurred in life that I did not like, my underlying emotion was anger with some emotional stress on the side. Ultimately, to get back into balance mentally and spiritually, I learned acceptance…acceptance of life followed by solutions to Parkinson’s challenges! Continue reading

Today, let’s get together, all of us around the world, and celebrate our lives and our connections to each other…and be happy for this life! Continue reading
