[QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here
Hi All, I've been out of the loop for a while. I just finished a six month training program and am now a certified meditation instructor. Me and nine other disabled people were trained paid for by a grant from Kessler Institute. I really love it. It has helped me with my pain level. If anybody has any questions, ask away.

Re: [QUAD-L] Grocery store adventures
A couple of times people have come over to hug me and pressed my leg bag drainer buttons by accident.. And yes, they basically hugged the pee out of me. I have learned to not only make sure my wheelchair is turned off but to also make sure I hug people on the opposite side of my leg bag drainer buttons or to just leave my drainer off when I will know we will be somewhere where hugging might occur. :-) One time visiting relatives, I was petting their dog and the dog jumped right on my joystick. My wheelchair headed straight one of my relatives but didn't quite make it all the way. That was a close call. Now I have to look for animals that might jump on my lap. :-) Happy Sunday and have a good week everyone. :-) Maria On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 9:01 AM, zeta mcbroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was once chased out of a store by an elderly man.

Re: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here
Hi Bobbie! I just rejoined, too! Can you give us all online meditation sessions? Might be a cure now that online activity can be considered a mental illess... right? Best!

[QUAD-L] Standing Therapy to Prevent Osteoporosis
Does anyone out there use standing therapy? I've been recently told that have I advanced osteoporosis from being in the wheelchair for the last five years. Gary C5 incomplete/5 years post

Re: [QUAD-L] Standing Therapy to Prevent Osteoporosis
I'm surprised that you were not taught that in rehab, as that is quite common with chair users. Standing frames are good, but don't rush into it until you have talked with a physical therapist before you try one. Learn what needs to be done to strengthen your bones first. Then as always...

Re: [QUAD-L] Standing Therapy to Prevent Osteoporosis
Gary, I had standing therapy in the standing frame for a short period of time (one month, twice weekly) in order to prepare me for a walking therapy. I had to be able to stand in the standing frame for at least 45 minutes without my blood pressure plummeting before attempting to use the walking machine. This was the extent of my standing therapy. I'm happy to say that I succeeded in the standing frame and am currently on a walking machine called the Locomat _YouTube - Locomat_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryp5YavgO2gfeature=related) I certainly hope this will be a help for me. I have been in my wheelchair for nearly 3 years. I do not have osteoporosis, but after being in the chair for so long, it was good to try to stand.

Re: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here
Exactly, what does a Mediation Instructor do? I mean, what do you mediate? Well, Naomi, that's a rather large question. A meditation instructor would guide their students through a journey of a thought process. I would teach different techniques of meditation, there are around 20 different types. Basically, it's about relaxing the body, mind and sprit. You would concentrate on the here and now called mindfulness. It has helped me better control my pain level by thinking it away. If your not receptive to this way of thinking, than this may sound like a bunch of horse crap. The mind is extremely powerful when used the correct way. A person can worry them selves sick and in the same respect a person can calm them selves down. If your still interested, let me know and I'll go into more detail. Or you can get a book from the library Meditation for Beginners and check it out for yourself. Bobbie **Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Re: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here
After reading some of the confusion, maybe I can help? The word isn't mediation, it is meditation. I think it is great that anyone is exploring this. john - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 7:17:59 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Meditation instructor here Exactly, what does a Mediation Instructor do?

John, Thanks for clearing that up for us. That was my mistake. I realized it after she responded to my e-mail. Did I not say that my concentration isn't what it should be (and neither is my memory).
