Meditation method for Ocd and phobias
Any meditation can be helpful to certain extent because it helps you detach from the mind(which is the source of all obsessions and phobias)But much better is a meditation technique which involves catharsis.(letting out all your feelings,rage,fears etc) The way I do it is by finding a private place where I don't disturb anyone,and where I won't be interrupted for an hour and start talking gibberish.(nonsense words or like a foreign language you don't understand)I do it forcefully and include body movements and gestures. I start expressing anger,rage at the universe,shout and scream,even punch a pillow-go totally mad,whil;e continuing to say the nonsense words-using them as a kind of 'carrier'for all my feelings. After half an hour of full blast expression,I lie down on a soft surface for half an hour,on my belly,and be quiet and still,and just watch my thoughts and feelings without judgement. If you can be still for half an hour and not get too carried away by the thoughts(it takes practice)it can be incredibly helpful-I know it. The more total and forceful(without hurting yourself)you can be,the more deep and silent the still period will be. I'm sure if you do this regularly,you will see your problems melt away. Good luck!
