It is not enough to decide to be friends. The heart also needs to come along, and that sometimes takes time! One think that has helped me is to adopt an attitude of well-intentioned curiosity towards the panic. <br /><br />U Tejaniya's "Wise Investigator" . . . <br /><br />Now may you be at peace today!Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-65720372996354437572011-03-30T08:35:20.549-07:002011-03-30T08:35:20.549-07:00Sabio, yes, that is the gift of such a hindrance, ...Sabio, yes, that is the gift of such a hindrance, as it puts us in touch with our human-ness, and gives us no other choice but to keep on practicing.

Metta is another good practice for panic. "May I be at ease, may I be at peace" repeating this over and over can go a long way.Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-40997850253064156502011-03-30T06:56:54.574-07:002011-03-30T06:56:54.574-07:00First, I can't help but smile when listening t...First, I can't help but smile when listening to Mingyur Rinpoche speak. I practically laughed out loud as he was thinking seriously about how he was young and struggling to place whether it was when he was 7 or 8 years old :)<br /><br />Brilliant insights throughout, but he really gets to the heart of the matter at about 5:20. I REALLY resonate with what he's saying as I run into anxiety a lot as well. I try to be neutral, but if I'm being honest, maybe I treat it more like an enemy. <br /><br />Even this morning my mind was flooded with thoughts during my sitting and it much of it was due to anxiety. Not sure what the deal is in the morning, but I'm often thinking about work and worrying about things and that come through a lot! With the anxiety comes frustration...frustration that I can't stay with the breath for even a couple of seconds until my mind carries me away.<br /><br />Not sure if this really shares any insights or help...but I thought I'd share my experience as anxiety is certainly a presence in my life.Natehttp://www.fearlessendeavors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-75804810048442028102011-03-30T04:32:17.481-07:002011-03-30T04:32:17.481-07:00A few decades ago I went through a year and a half...A few decades ago I went through a year and a half of panic attacks. I don't miss them at all, but they taught me what you speak of here.
