Keep compassion and joy
balance of emotions is a prerequisite for recovery. Any error or any deficit in this balanced system can be the reason that a recovery from Parkinson's disease is not progressing.
fear, anger or sorrow in the overweight - compared with compassion and joy - are cause, not effect of Parkinson's disease.
your way to this balance is not thorny, and not obscure, but it requires daily practice and relentless repeating of course, sounding evidence.
lack joy The Parkinson's patient of joy, so that there is an imbalance in favor of negative emotions comes: grief, fear and anger. The patient attempts on his road to recovery to obtain the necessary joy. He meets with various obstacles that have their roots in misunderstandings or misinterpretations of such words, the supposedly related to the experience of joy in context. There are desperate attempts to catch despite the absence of conditions, a great joy. The Dalai Lama calls such blunders "counter-productive and painful feelings" that have nothing in common with the true feelings of joy here intended.
Counterproductive "Pleasures" schadenfreude Euphoria, prostitutes, bonfires - this "joy worlds" have nothing to do with what the Old China (Yellow Emperor) or in the religious works of the Hindus, Taoists, Buddhists, Jews, Christians and Muslims
joy known. "Joy of Life" or "cheerfulness" are terms that make more what is referred to here as
joy.
joy under this symbol should not be confused with pleasure or fun. Fun and pleasure it is preparing, if the desire for profit, sexuality or playful diversion / pastimes (the latter as a way out of agonizing boredom) breastfed is. Biochemically, this distinction is quite simple, as Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock
in Parkinson's Recovery Project proves.
pleasure - if it is perceived - associated with the involuntary production of dopamine in the body.
pleasure and fun - if they are perceived - associated with the involuntary discharge of adrenaline in the body.
Man is not always able to distinguish the effects of dopamine and adrenaline. He looks really pleasure (dopamine), but is only kidding (adrenaline). The latter leaves a sour taste. Computer game addicts, sex addicts and casino know the shell, a painful sensation after a drug habit.
Parkinson's patients and convalescents have a different background of experience: by delayed or reduced emission endogenous dopamine to relocate their activities to demanding, often forces far in excess of project business, political, scientific, or artistic Article The overwhelming challenge of their project solves - like a continuous alarm - from an excessive adrenaline to provide sufficient "energy" to make ready for the feat. Before Parkinson's diseased patients, they already Waen adrenaline "junkies".
The balance of emotions
it was displaced in favor of
grief, even though the patient was considered to trigger its activities
joy. A fatal mistake by the Buddhist saint is known as "illusion, called the cause of human misery yourself one.
compassion About the compassion has Parkinson's patient is usually made too little thought. Mind you, we speak of his compassion for the hardships and realities of his fellow men, and not the fact that the people of the Parkinson's patients to him and his stroke of fate - meaning the disease - will muster sympathy.
The best exercises on "compassion" has been promoting the Dalai Lama in his writings. Without such exercises of Parkinson's patient is difficult to identify the core, the essence of compassion clear. It is not about compassion, not to worry about other people, but a sense of its proximity to almost intimate way. - Would be completely false but now the mistake of closeness and intimacy in the relationship with our neighbors, for example, with an erotic touch. Closeness and compassion are here to better understand the way a geriatric nurse or nurse their charges are close to their needs and sympathize.
The Bible word "love your enemies" is replaced in this context, an easily understandable reasons: first
Through your compassion, you take the suffering of that true that you previously as the enemy, as an object of your hatred have seen.
second The fact that you only can set the example of your practice to your former enemy, which is compassion, this former enemy you will be very valuable. You appreciate and love him even for that very reason. (This example is from an exercise of the Dalai Lama, which is not available in German.)
fear fear is for each Parkinson's patients a fundamental Experience and be apt to feel different levels of experience. In many cases, the anxiety experienced no symptom of Parkinson's disease, but rather an undesirable effect of a drug. This is especially on the standard drug levodopa (L-dopa) to refer to its effects on the psyche so are also listed in detail in the package insert. Fear is then a "normal" symptoms of psychosis as a result of the tablets addiction of the patient (see
Once Upon a Pill) .. undergo On their road to recovery in Parkinson's patients often psychotherapy. What more feelings of anxiety not matter if the therapist is hidden fears, repressed and spilled Sorry exposes. Fears of this kind can only be phased out. Especially helpful here is the recommended
Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock- Exercise "Hand on heart," which is described in the following post.
A
Algerian genocide yourself If all levodopa-containing drugs are sold "tapering" and if the Parkinson's patient's psychological legacy has worked well, remains still a major fear: the fear of recovering relapse Even before the becoming ego. See also
Parkinson's Recovery Project . This issue is dealt with in a later posting. Parkinson's patients who speak the English language, can on this subject under "dissociation" to read even in the work of Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock, on the specified URL. The complete works of more than 1,000 pages can be downloaded free of charge down there. Mind you, this blog Parkinson's coaching can not even give 1/1.000 the findings shown there again! But there is no German translation.
anger The importance of the psychological mood of anger
is commonly underestimated perfect. Which is annoying is believed that his anger was his private affair anyway. And since he had so long one into the talk, that his anger as he bravely swallow and let not degenerate into recognizable aggression.
The traditional Indian and Chinese life scientist (Ayurveda and TCM) know better since more than 3,000 years ago: anger and related aggression, such as contempt, the "heart as a den of thieves," not held diatribes or exposure, have to the brain and the metabolism of the trouble ends almost the same effects such as acts committed or real shouted insults. Actually, the hidden aggressions are still far-reaching as the views expressed, because they last longer.
If in the above shown symbol from
balance the feelings of anger is the speech then the term also included the close relatives of anger, resentment and strife. Resentment and discord may differ in degree of intensity and duration of their effectiveness. Resentment is more likely to kurzfristg, resentment considering. Hader long-term impact is regarded as irreconcilable.
Hader quarreling, which include almost all Parkinson's patients imagine themselves in the right. They think they know that they are entitled to their target person of the rags give no chance to have more. The considered as such
Delinquent is being tried inside, the quarreling concreted his enemy. The self-discipline of squabbling gives him the feeling no one will notice how it looks in its interior, and he says so, to nurture its strife and to be without noticeable.
quarreling The patient fails to recognize that people feel around him, especially the subject of his strife and certainly very real, something that is inconsistent in interpersonal relationships. Usually, people will pull back from contending, as in dealing with the same no absolutely
joy arises.
The nervous system does not recognize that the game of hide and squabbling, states only that the quarreling is obviously surrounded by enemies (as it reacts with fear
) and that the people from contending more and more pull back (so the Nervensstem reacts with the feeling of isolation, with
Bowl r).
grief The word grief goes back to the word meaning teaching at the Middle High German
Kumbe r that meant so much as "emotional distress". This goes to the heart, as well as what occurs in the emotional world but grief in appearance can be attributed to various causes and phenomena. The range of emotional stress and suffering enough from a bad conscience about its own wrongdoing, the worry about a bewildering illness of a child to agonizing reminder of the physical abuse by her own father. The list of such charges is adjacent to infinity - everyone has a different, namely to carry
be packet.
The Parkinson's patient is not in this "lottery of fate," per se drawn a blank, his conditioning is such that the sum of his mental or physical stress seems so unbearable that their displacement is carried out. More precisely correct, and this process in Parkinson's Recovery Project will be discussed. The process happens unconsciously, and not knowingly. The result is known (in English)
dissociation, which in German means as much as
distancing from itself In a later posting run this more.
Conclusion:
grief in Parkinson's patients has led to a burden that seemed to overwhelm him. The above symbol points the way out:
joy curbs
Bowl r. Thus, we are in the balanced "cycle" of emotions back at the starting point and have the task of the Parkinson's patients to show the way to increased vitality, if he does not want to miss the chance of his recovery.
emotions in balance What do the arrows and their directions in the above symbol? The
Arrows indicate which sense a different curbs, that is controlled, that slows down when it becomes overwhelming. As in the Book of the Yellow Emperor (Yellow Emperor), it is assumed that each of the emotions - a horse the same - a jockey, has it curbed as soon as it would geloppieren away is always a balance is possible and in the longer term, also backed up. - But the Parkinson's Paient is in this state of equilibrium has not arrived yet ...
