@Foolishheart I am sorry to hear how much you have suffered. You are a brave person to keep on going and practicing mindfulness. You are strong in spirit.

I am not sure how much your physical injuries limit the kind of exercise you do. Please consult a doctor if you are unsure of your limitations before trying any of these.

I find with me that movement of the body slows down the mind. The most easy movements I do are Qi Gong,

or

, which helps me keep the energy flowing. That may be what keeps my mind quiet as well.

Yoga is a way I do gentle stretching, being careful not to force the body or do anything that is oversensitive or painful. The most basic one I have found is

that last 20 minutes. I modify any difficult poses or skip them if they are beyond my physical abilities.

Mindfulness is very important in my recovery. The most complete app I have found that is consistent with other mindfulness practices I have done is the free Healthy Minds App in the Google Play or Apple Store. It is by the University of Wisconsin and is professionally done with no ads or in app purchases.

Feel free to send me a personal message if you care to or continue this conversation in the forum. I have suffered losses that have been most difficult but have managed to get through them with perseverance.

Hope you find the support you are looking for. @CANDC
