[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 765293, member: 22840"] I'm having some physical limitations right now myself, but I'm working on it. For the outside in kind of things ~ I can walk a little so I do as much as I can. And just like Newstart says, walking barefoot outside in the grass, for me especially at night when all is quiet tends to center me. Also getting into the water. Water has a calming affect from the pressure of the water. You mentioned going to the YMCA, and wondering if they will let you keep your walker poolside. I'm sure they are not all the same but the Y by me leans towards helping all kinds of differently abled people with the pool program. I had fractured my ankle years ago and went to the Y after the boot was off and I had done PT because I wanted some kind of exercise I could do while it was still feeling weird (turned out it was still fractured, but that's another story). They were right on top of helping me with what I could/should do, how to modify, and told me what to stay away from for the time being. Maybe you should give them a call and see how yours' runs, I'm hoping similar to the way mine does. I really like Tai Chi also for grounding. From what you have mentioned with the balance issues you have Tai Chi could be difficult but if you can stand to do it and use a table on either side of you to help with balance when you need to stabilize yourself it might work. You would know if it's a good idea or not. You can get "for beginners" downloads and CDs from the internet. For the inside out stuff ~ I read books, and do the exercises in them for identifying feelings, core beliefs, wrong thinking, assertiveness and such and then do the exercises in the books to work through that stuff. I probably should be seeing a therapist again but I don't feel like right now. I also use hypnosis downloads to help put me in a calm state when my mind is too much on the hamster wheel for me to meditate. These I get from the internet, I use hypnosisdownloads.com from the company Uncommon Knowledge out of the UK. They have been around for a long time and are very good. There are a slew of topics to choose from, each has a brief description of what it covers. It's an individual thing for what you think might want to work on but on the fun side I'd recommend "Ride on a magic carpet" and "Ride under the ocean". [/QUOTE]
