Physiotherapy is important for patients with Huntington’s Disease in order to help maintain patient independence for as long as possible. Physiotherapists can provide specific exercises to help maintain balance and mobility as well as postural awareness achieved through exercises performed in standing, sitting and lying. Treatment also includes relaxation techniques, moving / handling and positioning for comfort.

Furthermore, the relationship of the basal ganglia and habit or stimulus/response learning in humans is also shown in a weather forecasting prediction game. In this game, you learn how to predict rain or sunshine using a deck of four cards. Each card “predicts” a certain forecast, and you are supposed to guess what forecast is going to happen based on the card drawn. While this may seem very simple and really, you are just learning associations and learning which weather is associated with which card, patients of Parkinson’s disease (damage to basal ganglia) have a lower percentage of correct answers then those without damage. In comparison to a control group and a group with amnesia, those with Parkinson’s disease scored twenty-five percent lower on average over a span of fifty trails. This disparity clearly shows that the basal ganglia has a relationship with human’s ability of habitual learning and association.

I’m staying in the moment, going with the moment-um. All that is worth putting energy into is the now, the here. Even now, writing this, I’m wasting “time”. Time does not exist. We manifest it, we give it form. When I think of what happened in past or what could happen in a future. I am giving life to this monster that devours our consciousness: time. Now is the time to figure out who I am. Who I already am. I am my most infinite potential right now. Who am I right now? What am I doing, experiencing, feeling, sensing? Think the goal, speak the goal, be the goal. Ask and receive, give and take, up and down. Relativity. One does not exist without the other. But who says one exists. Do they exist at all? Do we exist? Is it all a figment of my very vivid imagination. All we can go off is right now. Yesterday doesn't live without tomorrow. But neither cease to be a figment of our imagination. Our attention unaware that there is a beautiful present in front of us that has no opposite. It is all that exist. It does not need a relative object to validate its existence. It just is. Right now. And it's beautiful. It's beauty so often concealed. Cluttered by thoughts of what we miss or what we need. In reality we do not miss anything at all if we focus on this minute. In reality we do not need anything at all if we focus on this minute. In this moment we are perfectly fine stationed where we need to be. For that you should be grateful. Being thankful brings abundance to your life. The more grateful you are for the things you already have the more you will attract it. You are your biggest source of energy. For that you should be appreciative each and every day. #alanwatts #creator #realization #basalganglia #poem #poetry #poetrygram #now #present #life #play #illusion #faith #god #iam #i #gnostics
