RE: Easing anxiety with yoga and meditation

in #happy7 years ago

Very cool! Thank you for this. I agree, especially with the breathing technique. I find it so cool that something so simple can be SO effective. I am constantly breathing in and out, holding, releasing, continuous breaths too, and also as you stated with the focusing on senses - I personally have been using the touch sense that you also mentioned to do the same, to bring myself back, to get out of those thoughts, fears and whatever else, to remind myself of what I am and where I am.

The yoga and meditation I have not tried so much, but these techniques seem handy for sure. And agree with you with the medication. So many side effects can be involved. If it can be prevented and stopped naturally with breathing, with focusing on senses, with yoga/meditation, then absolutely, why would one not use these!? As well as being completely free. It's all good lol.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, thank you for your thoughtful comment. I think that any form of paying attention to the breath is sort of a meditation, even if you are not consciously calling it that!
