In this blog, I want to give a full account of the PD symptoms during a tedious travel, and the effect of the practice of soul consciousness on the symptoms during the journey.

On 27th October 2026, I had to travel to Pulivendula from Hyderabad and to return back immediately on the same day after a visit for 2 hours.

The distance between Hyderabad and Pulivendula is 417 kms. We hired a taxi. The driver took 7.5 hours for onward journey, and 8 hours for return journey. He was a safe driver and did not exceed 90kmph speed. He maintained an average speed of 53 kmph.

Before start of the journey, I thought that the whole journey will be tedious and gruesome for I was afraid of the PD symptoms (intestinal/abdominal rigidity, mental fog, breathing problems, tremors and rigidity) reappearing during the travel.

I was sitting next to the driver in the front seat. I was trying to practice soul consciousness without success during the entire travel. I was getting distracted by the scenes on the road. However, the effort might have yielded some effects.

I took Syndopa Plus(Levodopa 100mg, Carbidopa 20mg) at 200am, 800am,1200pm, 1600pm to contain the symptoms. I took Rasalect 1mg at 700am. This is my normal daily dosage of medicines.

We started the journey at 500am to Pulivendula.

I had breakfast at 730am in the car. I could not bend the neck forward and swallow the food. So I took the help of my wife. She fed the food.

I reached Pulivendula at 1230pm. Strangely, Tremors, right hand rigidity and intestinal/abdominal rigidity were almost none.

I met the cousins and friends for half an hour. There were no tremors. My voice’s volume was low.

I had lunch at 100pm, and rested till 200pm.

We started the return journey to Hyderabad at 230pm. We reached Hyderabad at 2200pm. During the return journey also, the symptoms did not emerge except for the last two hours of the journey. There was minor gasping for breath. The other symptoms remain subdued through out the return journey.

I had shower and had dinner without anyone’s help. I went to the bed at 1100pm and got up at 500am on the next day, 28-October-2026.

I was feeling tired due to continuous sitting for 15 hours.

When I went for shower in the morning, my right hand was rigid and vigorously trembling. I tried soul consciousness. Immediately there was no effect contrary to my usual experience of tremors stopping within a minute. I did not panic and doubt the usefulness of soul consciousness on tremors. After some time (5-10mins) later the tremors almost stopped for the remaining day. Rigidity also had decreased for the most of the day.

If I had panicked, and lost the faith in soul consciousness practice for stopping the tremors, I would have resorted for more dosage of Levodopa to control tremors.

It was a miracle that I did not go through the pain of the PD symptoms during the entire travel, except for 2 hours at the fag end of the journey.
