Sophia SiriLivtar will be telling us about the benefits of meditation for managing Parkinson’s Disease. Medical Meditation is a complete medical system, of many thousands of specific protocols, for every type of imbalance and disease. Parkinsons deals with a weakened immune system, due to an over stimulated sympathetic system. We will be experiencing 3 medical meditations specific for this condition, using a variety of mudras, or hand positions, breathwork, sound frequency, eye gaze, movement, muscle contraction, intention, to stimulate the brain, balance the nervous system and tap into your own innate ability to heal and rejuvenate your mind and body.
