I was riddled with anxiety. The kind of anxiety that ruled my life. I was miserable, couldn't sleep or get on a plane without Xanax. I was angry, yelling at my kids all the time, always thought I was dying of cancer, had anxiety attacks OFTEN while driving or trying to sleep and the list goes on. If you have ever struggled with anxiety you know the suffering involved.
Meditation was introduced to me at the age of 27 when I was in college taking a Buddhist psychotherapy course. I hated it. I struggled and I thought "I can't do this." I didn't meditate again for almost 10 years, but I know now that first exposure to mediation was what really made me open to restarting the practice almost 10 years later. I was desperate honestly. I hated relying on Xanax to calm me down. Not only did it calm me down, but it dulled my senses.
I committed to trying this whole meditation thing and HOLY SMOKES!! IT changed my life! IT also got rid of my anxiety once and for all and I live medication free and anxiety free and have the most calm and peace of mind. Today I will break down meditation more, how it helped cure my anxiety and I hope you find value in it. Even if you don't struggle with anxiety or depression, meditation can have a profound impact on your life.
AS promised in the show here are some of my favorite meditations. From beginner to more advanced! Enjoy
