I've been interested in 'learning to relax' and 'living in the moment' for a long time...and for sure since Aaron, our son with Down syndrome was born. The usefulness of meditation has come very clear to me in the past few months, since I've been diagnosed with cancer. Focusing on my breathing has helped while driving to doctor's appointments or scans and when I'm sitting under that (darn) radiation machine every day. It is the only thing that keeps me together some days, it seems. Breathing and walking too.<br /><br />I just wanted to chime in to agree with this concept of stress relief...for parents of adult children, young children, patients....well anybody can benefit. I clearly haven't reflected properly on this enough to write about it...but here's an enthusiastic YES. Would love to hear more from you on this...sue robinshttp://www.suerobins.comnoreply@blogger.com
