Pole Walking

Having heard that a friend just finished a Parkinson's Boot Camp in Arizona recently where she experienced pole walking and after researching it's benefits for everyone especially with gait and balance for people like me, I decided to get my hiking poles out and give it a whirl for 30 minutes in the neighborhood.  It turned out to be fun and the most immediate benefits were improved sleep, balance, and energy.  I've only been doing it for three days now.  Here is a site that tells about it if you are interested.

Origami and Parkinson's Experience

I started origami in Jan 2013 and find many benefits for the Parkinson's Experience.

This is my post to Origamimaniacs site:

 I started Origami in Jan. 2013. I have a movement disorder called Parkinsons and find great health benefits doing this beautiful art. The most important is hand-eye coorination and patience with myself, self-fullfilment, less tremor,and I find I cannot ruminate about anything else that's going on in life. So it has a calming effect also. All great for someone with a disability.

You might enjoy this cool site to browse on the subject.

Moving Meditation and Parkinsons Experience

I rely on moving meditation like Qigong and Taichi to center myself.  It helps with the Parkinson's Experience overall. 

Here is a good link to watch.
