Last week I had two molars removed as part of my geriatric dental health program. It was no big deal, one of them was ready to fall out anyway. But I tell you that to tell you this: I am routinely able to stop the shaking from the Parkinson's for the entire time I meditate. It just happens. And I can generally control the shakes by focusing on it when I'm not meditating. Now I can see the effect of stress on the disease. As I sat in the dental chair (a high stress situation for me) trying to meditate... I couldn't. I sat there with my right arm and left leg shaking up a storm. Finally after the needle was gone I calmed down and away we went. But what a time getting there. But the lesson I had to learn (again) was that the anticipation of pain is worse than the pain itself.
The anticipation of pain makes me wonder if we're all on this flight together.
