Grounding is an easy and pleasurable way to reduce inflammation and pain from chronic and mental illness.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a medical condition in which there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body sends and receives signals, rather than a structural disease process such as MS. FND can encompass a wide variety of neurological symptoms so today let’s talk about FND. Websites that can help you to learn more are www.neurosymptoms.org and www.fndhope.org. My own website is currently being updated and that too will have helpful information about FND.

The simplest form of meditation is breath control, when we focus on our breathing pattern we consciously notice each inhale and exhale and bring back our awareness to the breath observing the moment we notice it going astray. Gratitude meditation is a conscious effort to appreciate what makes us feel good. It is tied in with opening our hearts and embracing the blessings we have and through this meditation we include the pain and suffering of chronic and mental illness. I hope this meditation brings you into beginning a practice with gratitude allowing you to ease your pain and suffering.
