MIND, BODY, SPIRIT LINKS
|
Below
are links to
concepts and programs for mind, body and spirit health. Most of the
programs listed below are primarily aimed at Parkinson's persons but
they do in fact relate quite well to all persons, especially seniors.
While we truly
believe in the value of the concepts of mind, body and spirit
healthfulness, we recommend that you consult with your physician,
medical provider, or mental health provider prior
to embarking on any of these programs.
- Body
- Pedal & Roll-
Pedal and Roll holds bicycling events, weekly and group rides, and
Nordic walks. We travel to communities in the greater Minnesota to
share the benefits of exercise, and we have a bike "lending library" at
the Pedal and Roll bike shack located near the Greenway in Minneapolis.

- Autogenics
- Autogenic training is a relaxation technique developed by a German
psychiatrist, Johannes Heinrich Schultz and first published in 1932.
The technique involves the daily practice of sessions that last around
15 minutes, usually in the morning, at lunch time, and in the evening.
During each session, the practitioner will repeat a set of
visualizations that induce a state of relaxation. The link provided here connects to a site that provides a self-help training schedule for Autogenics.
