Lilian discussed the course structure:

The course consists of recordings from two Courses.
Each section contains an introduction, class one, class two, and additional materials.

The course is divided into 20 weeks.
The course also includes the community, stress test, and the HOPE course.

To make it easier for the busy ones, I have linked the most important “chapters” from the HOPE course directly into this course.
If you have time, I recommend taking the full course

Here is the video. And below, I have made a transcript of what I found important.

Some are readers and can easier read than see videos

You only see this if you have problems figuring out where the content is.

8:32 minutes in the video:

Science and what they have not yet figured out.

I guess it’s good to hear the content twice, because we have been brainwashed our whole life into this way of thinking that doctors are right. Scientists are right: We have a body with all its spare parts, and we have a mind, and it has nothing to do with each other,  also me.

So it also, 8 years ago, came as a surprise to me. What? Can I help people with Parkinson’s? That was strange.

I did what all scientists should do: I interacted with people with symptoms and figured out what was going on. Why could I help people so much?

And that’s the knowledge I will explore.

So the Hope course is a 6-week Standalone Course. Course. It’s a toolbox for what to do.

And this LIVE course is mainly about one of the tools. It’s about the mind. What can we do with our minds? How can we, for example, be aware of our symptoms and stress relations?

• Why do I tremor every time my sister calls?
• Why do I tremor when I sit at the keyboard?

So that’s the mental toolbox we open in that course.

In the hope course, I tell all about why hobby work works. Why, Qigong work? Why, painting works to relax us, and that sort of thing. So you get information about that.

I call it a strategy, a toolbox.

Studies that support what I will teach you

You can find a lot of studies telling that dancing is helping people with Parkinson’s biking is helping people with Parkinson’s. Regardless of what hobby you think of.

If you match it all up with. If you write “study knitting Parkinson’s“. You will probably find a study about how knitting is helping people with Parkinson’s, and that’s where I find it interesting.

If you write “study Chess Parkinson’s,” you find a study about how Chess helped people with Parkinson’s.

And I found a whole group of hundreds of studies about how dancing helps people with Parkinson’s. You have studied how line dance help people with pines, and how ballroom dance help people?

Why make all these studies? Because it’s dancing that help people with Parkinson’s.  It’s not necessary to make all 100 studies.

A one on all the 100 different sorts of dancing, is helping.

 You can find a Ted Talk, you know, these 15-minute long talks with a guy who danced 8 Hours a day to keep away his symptoms.

So, digging into all this information for 3 years, I used 5 Hours a day digging into all these things to figure out what’s going on here.

 Now I know it’s all the hobby work that reduces your stress.

It’s the stress that is the common thing in all this.

It’s not the specific thing. So if Mila hates dancing, she would get stressed dancing. If Chrissy loved dancing, she would get help Dancing.

So it’s not the thing. It’s your relationship to that certain thing.

So if you like qigong, then you relax. If you hate Qigong, you stress up. That’s why nobody can agree on it.

For example. A lot of people try table tennis and it’s fun. It can probably relax you, but some get excited instead and get more stressed.

For most people, it gets confusing. But when you start to understand the underlying problems or possibilities. Then you can do the job and pick up the things.

For example, Mila, when you paint,  does that stress you or relax you?

Mila: Well, I do get tremors while I paint. And I’m usually not stressed when I’m doing it. Sometimes I’m stressed, and like I understand where the tremor is coming from, but sometimes I’m completely in the flow of doing stuff. So it’s like fairly mechanical. And then not even thinking, I’m just doing, and my hand is tremoring.

Lilian Sjøberg:  I should provoke you a little. If you tremor, you are stressed. Maybe you’ll go into this fight stress. “This is exciting. I’m making something new and amazing,” but that can still become a stress. But I feel good stress.

Mila: Yes, so it’s it just depends. And it depends on the day, like sometimes I have bad days, so like, I’m tremoring a lot more, and some days I’m hardly tremoring, and I’m doing exactly the same thing.

Lilian: Trust me, when we unpack this, it’s not the good and the bad day. It’s what you think, what your emotions are, because one day you may have had a not-so-good conversation with your daughter, or client, or whatever, and that affects the rest of the day.

So, is to get to figure out these more or less obvious connections, that is, we’ll spend a couple of weeks doing that.

There’s 1 mantra here, and it is
we do the best we can.
