Episode 60: Micro-Meditation

After my conversation with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge in Episode 59 (Treating PANDAS, PANS and Lyme with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge), I was really struck by the benefits on finding 10 minutes per day to calm our nervous system. Dr. Roseann suggested neurofeedback, biofeedback, gratitude journaling, 4-7-8 breathing and meditation as options for this daily practice. To help get you started, this week I am bringing you a five minute micro-meditation. You can pair this meditation with another practice, or do it twice to get in your 10 minutes. Enjoy! As always, this podcast is based on experiences and should not be construed as medical or professional advice. Please speak with a medical professional. My new middle-grade fiction novel Pendulum by S.E. German is available on FriesenPress, Barnes and Noble, Amazon Worldwide (Amazon.com, Amazon.ca) and more! The novel follows a young boy as he changes overnight from happy and silly to angry and anxious. We learn that he has developed a neuroimmune disorder called PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infection). We hear the boy's unique perspective through his diagnosis, treatment and middle-grade experiences while experiencing tics, OCD, anxiety and more.
