My Story (1/2) ~ Using meditation to deal with panic attacks, stress & anxiety 

You're absolutely right. Most people who do meditation often take a deep breath instead of focusing on normal inhale and exhale of air..

I agree! :)

This is spot on - it revolutionized my meditations!

Thax That helps alot.

AugustAdvice it sucks. I hope youre doing okay these days

I do hope you get better and both asthma and panic disappears soon. Stay blessed!

How are you now?

Hi. I hope you're doing better!

I agree. In fact, I started to get teary eyed when he talked about being a young boy with anxiety. As a 75-year-old adult, struggling with severe anxiety, I cannot imagine a kid going through this. Makes me want to cry.

Exactly

cibriosis I have overcome panick attacks I'm dealing now with anxiety it's like a cronic stress I hope the same formula that I use for panick attacks (meditation) works for cronic stress

whatever works..even placebo..

I agree, magnesium is super important

What did you take

How much of mg

If u are thinking of taking pills right now slap ur face take a deep breath and try fighting the panic! Step by step u ll get stronger! Best wishes to all that suffer.

@lionsdale1 I currently take Now brand magnesium malate 345mg daily. Magnesium glycinate is also good but usually more expensive

Tito Agustin Medina hey good to hear that it worked for you.anyways can u share the technique?

Sonam Gurung I guess u just gotta enjoy the panic

is it still working after 3 years of you posting this?

The method he uses is Mindfulness. You can Google it if you don't know about it

Really?! I need to. Thanks for share.

Can you explain how that can be done?

Having the same story as u...

How did your panic evolve with your practice? Were you able to cope ?

I also trying Rinpoche method to observe and aware of my fear thoughts flowing . My mind always has a disturbance image that house crack , debris fall onto and crack my head . With this technique and Psychiatrists medicine, both help .

Im also struggling with this. I was doing great and then had a traumatic event three weeks ago. Now when I try to meditate, my brain soins and I feel like my brain is rocking. I cant work out if its that causing the anxiety or thev anxiety causing that. I have cptsd but I have worked and worked and worked on myself. Im so disappointed that Iv now got a new challenge when I thought Id passed them 😪 I dont know how to change it and am hoping it will just pass.

😭 love that

Are you applied it?

@@ashutoshkumaryadav3929 yes

Bro it's not that easy, roots need to be taken down. Surely yes it helps in little way

Jennifer Green hey jennifer are you suffering from anxiety attaks?

I agree. I'm in the same situation as well. My doctor says my heart rate is too high and tried prescribing me heart meds, but I tried to make him understand that I don't feel that way 24/7. I get anxious by going to doctor offices, being in crowds and having people argue badly with me. I have medication but I really need to apply meditation. Having a plan is a good way of being safe, and consciously knowing you'll be okay.

@@literaljojotrash what is your age guys???

Meditation is the permanent way to handle stress and anxiety. Vipaasna meditation is practiced all around the world as it reprogrames the mind. . Sit on a chair, close your eyes, be still and observe the incoming and outgoing breath at the entrance of your nostrils for 10 minutes early morning and night and later increase it to 25 minutes or more. Several thoughts will come in your mind but with daily practice they will slowly reduce. Watch "Vipaasna meditation practice videos" on Google search engine. Do the above meditation daily- Best wishes. Slowly after regular meditation reduce the dose or take the medication on alternate days or break the tablet in 2 pieces and take half daily. .

Ciao volevo chiederti come la meditazione/mindfulness ti ha aiutato con ansia e attacchi di panico

@@leonardocosenza429 Nella seconda parte, quando propone modi per fare amicizia col panico, evitando che diventi da un lato il tuo capo e dall'altro il tuo nemico

@@leonardocosenza429 Grazie a questo sono riuscito ad accogliere le sensazioni fortemente spiacevoli legate al panico, senza respingerle, nella fiducia che come ogni sensazione sarebbero state per un po' e poi sarebbero svanite, che non erano una minaccia per la mia vita. Non repingendo ciò che avveniva, quel panico si è trasformato in energia salutare, in forza e coraggio

@@shyaaammeneen63 aur you applied it in your life?

@@ashutoshkumaryadav3929 I have been meditating for years in the Brahma Muhurat Time. What is this time check on Google search Best wishes.

Not necessarily. Anxiety and stress can cause hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction etc. Thinking that I'm feeling anxiety because my thyroid is not functioning properly is disempowering. It makes me a victim of the situation.

Like the previous comment said, I don't think so. Everyone's case can be completely different and what triggers them wildly varies from person to person. I have perfect reports in almost everything but I have terrible terrible panic attacks and signs of cptsd. Allopathic docs just give me anti-depressants which are horrible. Much better meditate and exercise everyday. and you're right about the fact that past traumas get stored in the body, just not in the way many people would realise. Sending prayers to you and everyone who is going through a tough time.

i get when im hungover but now i know its panic attack ill take it head on ... i didnt know it was just the feeling of danger i thought i was ill an cudnt breathe .. next time ive nothin to worry about so just gunna ride it .. it annoys me so fk it lol u do same mate :>

There's no need to spend any more money, not even on a meditation teacher. If you want to learn formal meditation techniques, there's plenty of free information, but for me I just experimented with bits and pieces of a lot of things, and it has helped me tremendously. This guy is spot on when he says to "make panic your friend", but for me, the way I got to that was to try to simply watch my panic as though from a position outside myself. Panic is just like a cloud passing through you, and you can watch it go by, you can watch you symptoms as well, and once you get the hang of this- even though you may still get attacks- you will see that there is a feeling of space between you and your panic. There won't be the fear of the fear, and then that's one less layer of fear to worry about. After that you can really start to heal faster. See, the thing about panic disorder is that it's like a rash in your mind, it has flare ups and the more you react to it, the more you fear it, the more persistent and strong it grows. But if you learn to simply watch it, to watch all your racing thoughts and feelings as you would watch a cloud go by, then it recedes just like a rash left unscratched. You are simply the space through which this cloud moves through- that's how I visualize it anyway. Another thing that I have taught myself recently that I wish I had known years ago is focused relaxation. Basically all I do is I lay down, usually before I go to bed for the night, and I focus on each part of my body and tell myself "You can let go of the tension in your ____" whichever part I'm at. Personally, I find it best to move from my head, to shoulders, to arms, to chest, to ribs/stomach, to hips, to knees, to feet. Oddly enough I find it much more effective to focus on bones rather than muscles. I start by focusing on relaxing my jaw bone, my teeth, my nasal cavity, my temples/eyebrows, behind my ears, the base of my skull, between my shoulder blades, shoulders, elbows, wrists, finger joints, then back to my clavicle, my chest, my ribs, and so on. You will find yourself naturally breathing quite deep, especially by the time you get to your chest. You can also imagine your mind and body being filled with loving energy as you do this. With practice, you can feel almost elated after you do this.

hii ... how r u now? .. im experiencing the similar problem now .. have u been able to find any solution ?

Arjun singh Hey! There is a guided meditation app called 'headspace' that very much helped me. This panic nonsense is tough, but try and remember thar YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN EXPERIENCING THIS. Some days are near impossible, but if I can make it, so can you!

Sometimes you can have buried traumas your not aware of. A simple image on tv, a smell or someone mentioning something that is associated with past trauma can trigger panic attacks. Your subconious picks up all the associations to past traumas. But your consious mind isnt aware of it because your mind is trying to protect your psyche as a self defence mechanism.
