I've recently realized one trick to get rid of anxiety is to treat it like a wave in the ocean. If you run from it the wave will catch you and take you with it. But if you just allow yourself to feel the anxiety and accept it, the wave will lift you up but it will pass through you and you won't have to go for a ride. More waves may come but as long as you allow yourself to feel them they won't completely take you.

When I watch anxiety and acknowledge it without trying to think my way out of it, it usually dissipates and goes. It's like giving a child attention.

I heard once that we can imagine a pool and we are in it standing. Water is low and we create wave with our hand. The vawes leave us and will return the same ones we created. But because some time passes we forget we created them.
Since i started suffering intense anxiety during summer of 2021, a family friend recomended me The Power Of Now. Suddenly, while reading the first or second chapter, I started feeling in peace, and I knew that was my beginning of my spiritual path in order to reach my inner peace. And here I am, almost a year later, with all that I have learned, feeling much better. I know my journey will be longer, but for now, I can feel things I have never felt before. So never give up on your spiritual path, because it cannot be stopped, only slowed down by the ego, but the ego will eventually disolve. Have a beautiful day

Thank You, for reminder, the ego, (egoic mind, persona, & voice in the head) was made to dissolve 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 like that last line in Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon "there is no dark side of the moon...it's all dark!." the metaphor (to me) being that the moon=individual mind, the moon has no light of its own, its only illumination is borrowed/reflected from the sun, sun=soul/spirit/god.

Reyna S ingh, In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Increase the serotining levels in the brain. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15-20 minutes or more. You can sit or lie down, neck straight and eyes closed. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Keep a reminder to observe your breath sensations throughout the day and night --before sleep, when reading, at work, when sitting in the park etc. -anywhere-anytime. Like me, make this a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Just watching him talk calms me down. Thank you for the impact you've had on my life Eckart, forever grateful 🙏
To you reading this right now... you are beautiful. Everything will work itself out. Everyone here knows how you feel right now. This feeling sucks, but know that you will be be ok. This too shall pass...Don’t fight the anxiety, just allow it to work it’s way through and Let it do its thing. Embrace the moment as you become at peace with things. Now I want you to close your eyes and place your hands in front of you and lightly wiggle your fingers like you’re playing a piano. You are shedding this off as we speak. It’s dripping off your fingertips...Feel it melt off yourself. See, there it goes......we love you . At peace... at peace.... at peace... at peace....🙏🏻🌼🍀☀️✨🌼🍀🌼🍀🐣🌼🍀☀️✨🙏🏻

Use your anxiety as a trigger to force you into the present moment.
" It is what it is" (and accept what we can't control) is a great mind set to have. I wish I was taught that in my younger years.
I read the Power of Now while doing a few month jail stay in my 20's for a crime that was pinned on me. Thank you for that book. It changed my jail stay and impacted my life. It helped me to get centered. Much appreciate Eckhart. Also Osho, Alan Watts, Mooji, Teal Swan, Trevor Ilesley. Thank you all in particular.
Fear boils down to unknowing and imagining something that could happen that we don't want to. To get rid of fear is to stop resisting anything. Bad things just wants your love. If you love them they become good to you.
1:05 What are the thoughts while you feel the fear? Excessive control of the future moments? Imaginary scenarios? Your body can’t tell the difference between actual events and your thoughts. Thanks Eckhart. 4 February 2024. 🏃🐥😎🐇🌴🖖😇🍺👍🏻🐎🌺

Those health challenges serve as great motivation. Currently, because I don’t want my pain, anger, confusion etc……to manifest in my body, it serves me in changing my mind, not identifying with thoughts. I don’t want to get sick as a result. Powerful deterrent. Law of the universe: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It will get better, even by default.

in summary: accept the fear and anxiety as it is, even if its terrible, because you cannot get rid of it, but if you accept it gradually it will become weaker and it will be your gateway to spiritual awakening and a better life.

I so agree without going into detail, there are times when I can’t fathom my current life situation. It seems so difficult. Nevertheless, there are experiences & depths of awareness and consciousness that I’ve never dreamed possible.🙏🏼🙏🏼 to ET and other spiritual guides. I am blessed.
Accept the unacceptable... Embrace what is without judgment... It may seem simple but a very tough and arduous... Yet so easy when you drown in being completely... What a life changing teacher he is!
Every time I feel overwhelmed by thinking I come to this content 😢 I have an inner bully that loves to attack when I feel upset.
I wept while watching this, for my life situation is surely making my unconscious mind painful and gloomy. I feel really lucky to be taught with your wisdom
"Stay with the fear" is the hardest advice to follow, but I think it will set me free.
When in extreme fear, tell yourself everything is going to be ok until you believe it to combat for the space in your head. Tell yourself that you will triumph over this panic attack. "I will get through this dark cloud, no matter what. "

My “One thing”, that Eckhart describes, my adult daughter estranged herself from the family, during lockdown. It’s taken me two years of re learning how to manage my grief and pain, with help from Eckhart and other teachings and daily journaling. It’s still there of course, but I can observe my emotions, tiggers, anxiety and have learned to cope, with unconditional love for my daughter.

Thank you.

Excellent commentary about fear, imagined or real and it’s effects on the mind and actions.

I still can’t handle the anxieties in the night, it is terrible and my thoughts are just running there is no chance to step out, but I try. The weird thing is that I feel like cleansed in the morning. It is also after a time of feeling disconnected and having thoughts of suicide which of course are just thoughts I would never do that, but these thoughts of course are very negatively charged. But as I said the next morning that is gone and I feel more connected and inspired.

I want to say thank you so much Eckhart. Since I was 6 or so I have suffered from ocd and as I’ve gotten older it evolved into strictly religious ocd that plagued Me Worse and worse every day. Then I got such bad paralyzing anxiety I wanted to throw up . But it was everyday and horrible and intense and I was always never present. I remember I always thought it was like I was always like disconnected from it all and I didn’t use to be so disconnected it felt like I wasn’t there. Or I had broken some part of My brain. and after I finally found your videos I now can learn to be present and it has changed my life. I’m still just now beginning and it’s only been a few weeks but it’s already helped me feel hope for me my anxiety and my Ocd and everything really. Thank you again so much. I love you ❤️

Somehow the video that arises is the one that I need to hear in this moment. I am so grateful for these offerings. When I listen to Eckhart he resonates with me which is comforting as most of what he discusses I am hungry to hear discussed and yet it is not possible with most people I know. Lately I find myself so exhausted that I just have to rest frequently. I wonder if others are having this experience? Yielding to "I don't know " is my desire to be free of rumination about what the future holds. Never ceases to amaze me how challenging I find it to remain in the present moment free of following thoughts. Constant vigilance again and again is required to not be swept away. Practice practice practice I guess.

SO grateful to Eckhart T. ..... thank you so much for your teachings. God bless you for all the help you are giving to suffering humanity.
I have learned to avoid thinking at all while constantly monitoring whatever thoughts might show up. Unfortunately, I can very easily get into a catatonic state of not thinking and doing nothing to solve the necessary issue that needs to be solved. Luckily, presence shows up and provides me instructions on the steps to take to solve the situation. I use meditation and prayer. When the problem arised , I comfronted and accepted it but the next task was to solve an issue that I had not expected on which I was given by outside sources a time interval to have it solved and solutioned. It has been unpleasant and fear plus anxiety attempt to steal my peace of mind. I just rely on affirmative prayers and positive thinking. I happen to be at the time dealing with the unexpected situation.
Thank you teacher for your wisdom.🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
