"Keeping the body active through gentle exercise produces strength."
Motor neurone disease is a condition that is triggered by certain levels of emotion that spread as deep as emotions dictate.
As motor neurone disease has a life expectancy prognosis given upon diagnosis, immense negativity and the suggestions of how this condition will progress have a huge impact on the way that the condition is viewed and handled.
Although it is believed and suggested by the medical profession that motor neurone disease sufferers must not move, muscles deteriorate and shut down when they lack activity.
MND in a highly emotionally driven condition that thrives on the way emotions are managed.
Causes of Motor neurone disease (MND)
Motor neurone disease begins with a flickering or minute spasm in individual muscles that stem from a nerve reaction from the brain.
As we innocently become preoccupied with this feeling, emotionally charged reactions allow the spasms and/or detachment from the body to increase in strength.
Our brain interprets these thoughts and, owing to the extreme depth of these thought processes, they have a physical influence, either activating or deactivating the body according to the mind’s demands.
Over time we begin to substitute our natural sensations, so the flickering activity that is felt in the body increases. Natural behaviour is forgotten and the influence begins to spread.
Extreme emotions play an important role in motor neurone disease. Emotions are a form of release.
Characteristics are both extremely calm and extremely volatile. These two opposite personality traits can create a battle between strength and weakness.
When we are involved in deep thoughts - whether depressive, sad or joyous - the body is naturally influenced. All thoughts are communicated by the brain to the body and must be balanced.
Understanding Motor neurone disease (MND)
At The Mind Clinic a discipline is created to govern all emotional responses, which are redirected onto the muscular system to keep the activity going. Individuals are taught how to work towards reconnecting and strengthening the muscles.
There is a need for a routine daily transformation of all aspects of life.
When constructive demands are placed on the brain and body through mental-physical rehabilitation, all weaknesses can be halted.
The environmental influence and the existence of a correct social structure are paramount for halting motor neurone disease.
The influence of close relationships/authority must be understood so that the behaviour of those around individuals with MND is projected in an appropriate manner.
If motor neurone disease is worked with earlier rather than later, it is highly likely that individuals will adopt a new way of life and defy the belief of a short lifespan.
Mental, emotional and physical change is paramount.
A new way of life must be followed.
- Halt deterioration
- Understand emotional influences
- Restore balance between the mental and physical
- Regain control of muscles
- Medication reduction programme (in conjunction with medical care)
Questions and Answers for Motor neurone disease (MND)
Q. How can I manage to improve my speech?
A. It is important that a fully powered voice is exercised and maintained. Objective breathing methods are required to direct air towards influencing the vocal cords.
Breathe in through the mouth and mentally send the air to your vocal cords. As you breathe out, engage your voice and form your words.
By practising this process you awaken the vocal cords and are able to improve your speech.
As Motor neurone disease is an emotionally triggered condition, whenever emotions fray we lose power, and the voice becomes weaker.
For that reason it is imperative that the focus be on the voice at all times to allow instinct to take over. Speak with as much power as possible, even if that means shouting.
The process of improving speech requires full determination and focus.
Assistance from others will help tremendously in this process.
Q. I have recently been diagnosed with MND. What should I do?
A. It is extremely important that you maintain activity in every part of the body to keep the balance at the level it is. This will naturally delay the weakening of muscles. If the body ceases to make any movement it will immediately lose strength.
The idea that upon diagnosis one must completely relax and do absolutely nothing, as believed and suggested by the medical profession, is wholly inappropriate.
You must reach an understanding about the emotional influences that your immediate surroundings can produce, especially from authority, as the impact of these emotions can cause serious weaknesses, almost to the point of submission.
As motor neurone disease is a deadly situation it embeds a deep fear, and for that reason submission becomes a very simple process.
For all those who are absolutely determined to survive, they must remain active and focused on maintaining strength in order to create balance, so that motor neurone disease becomes dormant.
