RE: The Perfect Pause: Meditating Your Way to the Ultimate You - Chapter One (continued)

in #story8 years ago

@ericvancewalton I'm looking forward to more of your posts on the subject!
Which meditation techniques would you recommend? I'm curious to know what helped you with anxiety and panic attacks as I suffer from it myself...I was doing CBT, that helped a lot..started with yoga this year but sometimes it's very hard, I can't sit still, everything is itchy, distracting..Recently I've tried that hippy app for chakra opening when you listening to music...seems to work well to shut my brain for a while :)
Any tips welcome and following you now! & good luck with your book launch!

Thank you very much! The simplest the meditation techniques are the best IMHO, especially when you're first starting. All you really need to do is pay attention and bring your consciousness to your breath. When your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the breath. You can practice this very simple form of meditation anywhere at anytime, even while walking. Just a few minutes of doing this every day will bring you some peace. I'm glad to hear CBT helped your anxiety and panic! I would also suggest binaural beats. I'll explain a few other very simple techniques later in my book but merely watching your breath is a great place to start. The Perfect Pause is intended for those new to meditation.

Thanks for your reply @ericvancewalton...oh I'm going to check out binaural beats, never heard of those.
Keep your posts coming, I want to know more on the subject...and would be good to catch you on the chat sometime, when it starts working again :) .
