While mindfulness practice has been around for a long time, it is really gaining popularity. So I have been on the search for simple materials to introduce mindfulness to my patients.
I came across some good information on mindfulness and chronic illness on the Northwest Parkinsons Foundation website (nwpf.org) I found it under the wellness tab, then under persoanl healing, then personal healing tips and the specific article is called Silence the Mind with Mindfulness Therapy. If anyone else has a mindfulness resource, please share!
The start of December tends to be the start of a busy time for many. Perhaps we can all benefit from some mindfulness practice!
Best of the holiday season to all!

While i'm not aware of mindfulness resources specifically for Parkinson's disease, i do know that mindfulness is gaining more and more of an evidence base for various mental health disorders. Both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) feature mindfulness as a active ingredient in their interventions and both forms of therapy have been found both effective and efficacious with diverse populations
