    Not weird at all. Knowing that you are not alone and not the only person in the world suffering with anxiety would give you a certain level of comfort. The more you learn about yourself and anxiety itself, the more you will be in control of it. Highly recommend finding a group of people online or in your community to start talking and learning about anxiety. Talk therapy one on one is good too.

    I've recently been experiencing the worst panic attacks and anxiety I've ever felt, to the point I took myself to the ER because I was worried I was having a heart attack. It's so healing to know there's people who can, want to, and are trained to help you, and to see other folks dealing with the same stuff. We feel so alone when we're in the middle of it, but grounding ourselves with others- even strangers- is probably the most helpful thing. Your comment also helped me, so thank you

For a relaxed life without anxiety sit on a chair, back and spine as erect as possible, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 10-20 minutes. Be as still as possible. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce. The mind is reprogrammed to reach equanimity. Do twice daily or even more-once before sleep or as per your convenience. In real life practice not over-reacting to any situation. Enjoy meditation without expectations and your life will transform. Make it a daily habit. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

    I think I understand why this works, as someone with zero medical/psych training. It's a similar idea to the 333 method, where you ground yourself in reality. But in this one, you're so preoccupied with the sensation and focusing on breathing, your brain stops racing. This works for me a lot better than the 333, because it's hands-on and physical, and it's multitasking so I can't allocate as much brain-RAM to panicking. I know this was four years ago, but thank you. You're still helping folks.

If you need to it many times, and allow this to be where you are for now. This is where i am. And this is ok. I am breathing. I am neutral. I am safe. I have patience.

    Riinnaa, Since it is a mind issue reach a state of equanimity where nothing disturbs you. For a relaxed life without anxiety sit on a chair, back and spine as erect as possible, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 10-20 minutes. Be as still as possible. Your breath is directly related to the mind causing anxiety. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce. The mind is reprogrammed to reach equanimity. Do twice daily as per your convenience. Practice not over-reacting to any daily real life situations. Enjoy the above meditation without expectations and your life will transform. Make it a daily habit. Best wishes.

    I'm an ex addict and ex alcoholic I have extreme anxiety and depression that comes and goes. Lately, anxiety has been really bad I want to believe it's mainly from bad dieting. I may also be getting these panic attacks after working out it's so weird. Either I'm dying or it's extreme anxiety. Maybe both

    Love this, and love your channel!! I believe that physical touch is so undervalued in our society, and that's such a big reason so many of us are experiencing so much anxiety, and such a disconnect from our bodies and what they're communicating with us. This is such a great way to bring us back to ourselves and out of our heads. Thank you Rachel!

    I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a child. I’m 30 years old and I still have my moments. You have nothing to be ashamed of and I don’t know you but I don’t believe you are “faking” anything. Those fears are very real to us when we have panic attacks. Stay strong and keep a good circle of friends, you will get through it and there are many of us out there that are supportive and understanding. I hope this helps.

    Sometimes the hardest part about anxiety is, when you're in a panicking moment, all affirmations and tools you've written down are hard to remember or aren't absorbed when you re-read techniques. I am happy I found this video as this technique is short, memorable and seemingly effective. The more tools in our anxiety tool belt, the better. Some things may work better than others for each individual, but this one feels like do-able and helpful. Thank you! ♥

    So glad it's helpful! The trick is to regularly practice anxiety-reduction exercises when you're calm, so that they are more accessible to you when experiencing anxiety. If you learn to recognize the initial signs or anxiety, you may be able to stop a panic attack before it starts. It takes practice!
