Is anyone else getting calmer from doing meditation? It's only been around a month of me meditating and using Mindfulness, and I'm noticing that I'm less tense and reactive. I practise meditating nearly everyday (trying to do it everyday) and when I get tense in a situation I use Mindfulness...

I've been finding more information on breathing and how it is connected to a person's state of mind. That irregularities in breath correspond to irregularities of the mind; and that through practising 'proper breathing' the mind can actually be manipulated to being calm!!!!! 8O ... :idea:... :)...

The following is only my own thoughts and beliefs about CBT, Mindfulness and Conciousness -which has, though been inspired by Bhuddist beliefs- My theory is that changing habits has all to do with the degree of concious awareness -actually, this isn't my theory, but that of Bhuddists. Now...

I came across these instructions about how to practice Mindfulness. Technically they are specifically for whilst meditating. And whilst that is also a good idea, I figure, why not adopt the same basic technique to any distractive thought or feeling experienced at any moment, and not just while...

Well, of course others have anxiety. But I have noticed other members of my family who show similar characteristics to me: they get nervous and anxious as well around people sometimes. Yet, they don't have the label of 'social phobia' and, at least one of these persons manages better overall...

They say that unconditional love is the 'cure-all' for any problem. ...The last couple of weeks or less, I feel much less stressed. It is like I have gone from being quite fragile to considerably stronger. My "emotional stamina" seems to have gone up. I find that the same basic worries still...

"There was once a soul who knew itself to be the light. This was a new soul, and so, anxious for experience. "I am the light," it said. "I am the light." Yet all the knowing of it and all the saying of it could not substitute for the experience of it. And in the realm from which this soul...

Here is a little tip... When some situation happens where I feel anxious in what I do when I can is get into my car and find some song on the radio that is all positive with words about undying love. One of the best is "Always" by Bon Jovi -for one reason, because it seems to get played a lot...

I'm interested in wise sayings and spiritual ideas. This one of Jesus' is one that I have been wondering a bit about. And to help me along with understanding -or is it accepting!? 8O - it, I wanted to see what other peoples' ideas were about it's meaning and how the concept applies to social...

I found this interesting article on the net. It has to do with ideas about identity and anxiety. I have trouble understanding some sections of it, but overall, I think that it is insightful and gives some clues about how to treat anxiety and what to make of having it. It is taken from "Radical...

...I could even veture to say that I am cured. But one thing for sure is that I don't feel ashamed anymore. When I was a teenager, despite being sensitive and having anxiety, I was quite sure of my self. One time, a girl who didn't like me, actually told me: "You never get phased by anyone."...

Taken from: http://chetday.com/vitaminBdeficiencies.html or look-up 'Vitamin B complex' on google. "SYMPTOMS OF VITAMIN B DEFICIENCY AND WHY VITAMIN PILLS ARE NOT ENOUGH" by Vic Shayne (Author of "Man Cannot Live on Vitamins Alone") VITAMIN B COMPLEX DEFICIENCY: MAJOR CAUSES Vitamin B...

I found out an interesting fact recently (presuming that it is accurate); but, it is said that... "young people are 300% more likely to suffer from a mood disorder than older people are" ...What are peoples' thoughts on this...? Is it because of the food we eat, busy lifestyles in big...

Yesterday I felt the worst I have probably ever felt. ...I'd been to the gym the day be for for the first time in a long time; I also had smoked a fair bit, and today seem to have some king of lung infection. But, I had this awful nervy feeling and once or twice felt like I could just burst...

I wanted to ask this question, since it is my theory that the problem with us is that we actually treat and deal with anxiety the same way that anybody else deals with it. I think that most people deal with anxiety by blocking it out, fighting it, resisting it. And I think that for us this same...

I keep going-on about my theories about SA. I'm figuring things out slowly and am going through different feelings I have about everything. ....And I really feel that there is an irony about all of this. I notice that since I have been more socially isolated my social anxiety has gotten worse...

Don't mean to be confrontational -yet, I am noticing that even simply thinking of how I can help others is already having a big effect on my state of mind. This seems to be giving me that much needed perspective and sense of who I am in relationship with others, that is minimising my fears. And...

Hi, I am wondering about certain facts about my self that stand-out... I have had a strong interest in spirituality for a long time; and this desire to 'be One with God' can be likened to desiring to 'be one with others', if you consider that God is the same as all people. ...and 'social...

A few new revelations are helping me to understand other peoples' thoughts about how to cure anxiety, I think. The thing I am considering is that.... perhaps a BIG part of curing an anxiety problem is just learning how to 'still' the mind. To learn things like meditation and any other similar...

I just saw a documentary on a world renowned acting coach named Cecily (don't kknow her surname) who is part of the Shakespeare school. She travels around teaching people about how to 'feel' language and gets them to connect with the power of words. She also has teached her acting workshops to...
