This looks like a fantastic opportunity to finally visit Ratna Ling… a long-term dream of mine. But minding the financial side of travelling to the US – is there a chance that we will have something like that in Europe please? 🙂
I remember Arnaud Maitland encouraged a 5 times 5 approach. It is meditating (or maybe relaxation exercises, i don’t quite remember) 5 times a day for only 5 minutes each time… He said that anyone can find 5 minutes during the day, so it’s for the busy people. I was fascinated how much of a difference it makes to just consciously breathe for 5 minutes during the day. I think whatever works for you is good 🙂
Thank you for this, Donna 🙂
It’s a good point that just jumping into meditation is difficult with anxiety. I usually start with one or two exercises first, and only then meditative state arises… But these are wonderful tips to add to the arsenal 🙂What I’ve been wondering is if there are any specific exercises aimed at anxiety relief.. But from my experience – it is, basically, all of them.
Thank you, Anita 🙂
Journaling this is a fantastic idea… It really was an inspiring experience, although painful, but valuable.
I’m looking forward to learning more, this course has already made my practices much deeper.I will share my experience, maybe someone might find it useful.
What happened was that after the surgery I was waking up after norcosis, and I started having a panic attack, and it caused more pain because I was breathing chaotically, tensing my muscles – the surgery was in the belly. I tracked my feelings and identified that the pain was caused not only by the surgical interference into my body, but mostly by my thoughts and anxiety. I started breathing and relaxing consiously the tensed areas in my stomack. And it made me feel calmer and more in control. Afterwards I was relaxed and was breathing evenly, noticing tension every time it was arising and relaxing it, not letting it lead to more pain.
