Anxiety.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

I have been doing the Primordial Sound meditation daily for a couple of years now.  It has been excellent and done a lot to clear and focus my mind.  For the past several months I have been experiencing a lot anxiety about several things that have been happening in my life that has cause me to be up nights.  When I do my meditation, it clears my head, but does not seem to touch the physical experience of anxiety that sits in my stomach.  How do I deepen my meditation down from my head into my abdomen to release this anxiety?  

Response:

If you are going through a period of extra anxiety in your life now, it would probably help to incorporate some vigorous physical activity into your routine to help flush the anxiety out of your system. Also do some yoga asanas and practice 5-10 minutes of alternate nostril pranayama before you meditate. The conscious connection of your breath with your body will be the key to releasing this anxiety.

Love,

Deepak

Anxiety.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Written by Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ph.D., is the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University and Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital coauthor of Super Brain.

In today’s world of super connectivity and pervasive social media, we have never been in such intimate contact with others. While this is ushering in a renewed sense of community, anxiety levels are on the rise. During nearly every waking moment, in the back of our minds, we are constantly wondering whether we should be checking emails, texts, voicemail, and social media sites. So, while the internet and social media are making the world a smaller and arguably friendlier place, we may also be experiencing a greater sense of anxiety with the growing social pressure to communicate with others nearly every minute of the day. 

Anxiety creates a false picture of the world, piling on things to be afraid of that are in fact harmless. The mind adds fear. If the mind can undo the perception of fear, the danger will vanish. To begin with, life cannot exist without fear, and yet fear creates paralysis and misery. The two aspects, one positive, the other negative, meet inside your brain. For people who suffer from free-floating anxiety (one of the most common complaints in modern society), the short-term solution is a chemical fix-it: tranquilizers. Chemical fixes bring side effects, and the most basic problem of all is that drugs don’t cure mood disorders, including anxiety. Just as being sad is universal while depression is abnormal and unhealthy, fear is universal while free-floating anxiety gnaws away at the soul. As Freud pointed out, nothing is more unwelcome than anxiety. Medical studies have found only a few things that the mind-body system cannot adapt to: one of them is chronic pain, the kind that gives no remission (shingles, advanced bone cancer), and the other is anxiety.

Free-floating means the thing you fear is not a specific threat. In the natural scheme, our fear response is physical and targeted. Victims of crime report that during the act, as the weapon of their assailant loomed large in their visual field, they went into a state of hyper-alertness, their hearts racing. These aspects of the fear response come automatically from the lower brain, and the things that cause you worry and anxiety are thought to be programmed in the amygdala. That doesn’t tell us enough, however. Once you become anxious in a pervasive sense—as happens, for example, to chronic worriers—the whole brain gets involved. Fear is targeted and specific; anxiety is pervasive and mysterious. People who suffer from it don’t know why.

What they experience is like a bad smell that stays on the edge of their awareness no matter how hard they try to pretend it isn’t there. To heal the anxiety, they can’t attack it as one thing; the bad smell has seeped every where. In other words, their reality making has gone awry. Anything or nothing can trigger anxiety in them. They always have something to be afraid of, a new worry or threat. To find the solution, they must learn not to fight the fear but to stop identifying with their fears.

Achieving detachment is only possible if you can get at what makes fear so sticky. In its positive, natural state, fear dissipates after you run away from the saber-toothed tiger or kill the woolly mammoth. There is no psychological component. In its negative, pervasive state, fear lingers. Its stickiness seems unavoidable.

So, anxiety, fear, and doubt generally creep into the brain as a survival mechanism that is deeply engrained in the more primitive areas of the brain. The ancient hindbrain and emotional brain regions are incessantly attempting to promote survival by assuring shelter, sustenance, and social acceptance and validation. When we feel the need to check our cell phones for texts and email with every new minute, our primitive brain has taken control. We find ourselves mindlessly serving the instinctive brain’s demand for social acceptance and stature. The key instrument used by the brain to serve this instinctive need is the pervasive and irrational feeling of anxiety, the nebulous feeling of fear that you should be doing something right now that you are not. The solution? Simply be observant, be aware, be mindful of the feeling of anxiety. Examine what you are anxious about. This is easy. Simply ask what it is you feel you should be doing while anxiety permeates your mind. Next, detach. Remind yourself that you are not your brain. You are the user of your brain. When you no longer identify with your feelings but instead observe and learn from them, you can more readily detach from them. At that point, you, the true you, is using your brain and you are a step closer to a “Super Brain”.

    The issue very well-described here relates to a tendency comparable to that of a general addiction to say tobacco, alcohol or drugs. There have been numerous studies in this field indication that sufferers from addiction suppress there conscious so that space is created for positive attitudinal behaviour towards giving in to the addictive substance. This temporary `block` of negative thought causes patients to `forget` that they are addicted. That means, the more open someone is admitting his addiction to themselves and others, the less likely he or she in fact suffers from one. In 2004, a Belgian psychiatrist had a breakthrough with his treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders as addiction ailments. It may well be that a continuous watching for potential messages on a mobile device shows similarities with the more well-known cases of OCD. However, one should in my opinion not underestimate the upsurge of `voguish` ailments (voguish depression being one), which by definition are impossible to diagnose since the `patient` often has a secret reason for suffering. This last popular trend shows how there is a growing need for societal communications on this particular subject (e.g. this entry). Furthermore, there are various solutions for persons that do take note of their own OCD-like behaviour (for instance by using audio to signal all incoming mail and messages), that would seem to beg for attention in this article.
