How do you find the strength/power in yourself?

[Debby]

I don't post alot but am here everyday. I alway had alot of strength, as I had to deal with alot . That's ok, it's life. But now I am at a point that I don't have any strength which I need now! How do you find the power in yourself? I know I have it, I just to need it alot. But what do you do when you can't reach it? And the weakness takes over? One of the things I am dealing with is anxiety and really bad panic attacks, not just a little! And that is keeping me prison. I need that to go away so I have the strength to move on. I have tried emdr, healing seasons,Inositol Powder,hypnosis( that doesn't work for me cause they say I am to smart for that) ect.
I can't accept that this is ruling my life, I haven't gone through a hard life to end like this.
All advice and healing is welcome and if anyone can do a reading let me now,
Much love,
debby

You seem to have all the answers there already. Follow them through, and trust that all will be ok. I have a good feeling about you. I know that it will.
Best wishes and lots of love to you Debby....

[Carmen]

Debby, use the power of intention. Whatever comes up or whatever you are faced with in the now moment,stay with it. Do not 'run away' in your mind or physically. Just look, observe, whatever you are faced with. The first time you do this it will be sooo difficult, then it will gradually get better. Your God can only work 'with you', not do it for you. You must find your own courage first, to the best of your ability, then you are helped. Reach down, reach inward, that strength is still there. You just have to 'know it', to insist on it. Before faced with something testing, find yourself an empowering saying/mantra. Eg, 'This day, this moment, I am Strong, Resilient and Knowing. Practice empowering yourself with something like this every day, as many times as you think of it. Especially when you feel doubtful or weak. Change any weak thoughts into strong ones instantly. You are your own enableler

Love and Strength to You

Carmen

[Debby]

Thank you kersley,
I wish I had that trust in myself. I know the answers are there but how do you reach them/
Love debby

I also suffer with anxiety and the odd panic attack since I was post natal in 2006. Its a nightmare and I really sympathise. Trying to explain it to someone who hasnt been through is hard work. It's like having a bad trip is the only way I can explain it! I think it has alot to do with the shift as well. Sometimes I wake up fine and grounded (oh how I love and appreciate those days) other days Im on the ceiling.

I have found for me calcium and magnesium taken at night help and a vitamin b complex in the mornings. But only 6 weeks on 6 weeks off for b vit. Also breathing exercises,reiki and kundalini yoga have helped alot. I learned level 1 reiki just so I can use on myself I was so desperate. It helps alot.

But mainly its all about grounding. You probably find it hard to ground your energies. Get to nature as much as possible and walk especially amongst the trees. Also look around the net for grounding techniques, theres alot of info out there. Believe it or not sometimes a good heavy meal helps something like steak and chips. Im mostly veggie but when Im feeling like this I know I need it and it really helps. And also root vegetables as in foods from the ground, honestly it works.

Going back to the red meat thing as our bodies are adjusting to the shift where I believe we wont need or want to eat meat anymore,just give in to it now and then. Its just an adjustment as we swing back and forth. I really hope that helps. Remember grounding, really important. Much love and healing to you Debby - Lisa x

[Lisab]

Oh and a great affirmation to say is I AM CALM CONFINDANT AND POWERFUL. Keep saying it over and over, in the mornings,evening, in the mirror, in your mind and out loud. Say it while running up the stair it builds the energy!

As you are probably both an empath and psychic sponge keep your shields up. Surround yourself in a white light or whatever colour you like! Also visualise rooting into the ground like a tree. If you can get your feet in the soil. Grow some plants (again hands in soil great for grounding).x

I am wondering if you might look at your diet?
Do you eat a lot of carbohydrates, cereals and fruit?
Do you eat natural fats?

I went through a several month period where I experienced paranoia, panic attacks and depression. Since I never had a clue what depression and paranoia were like before this I was sure that it was from a stroke I had experienced and that there were some changes in my brain from the stroke. I tried a total raw food and juice diet, chelation, a couple of healers, etc. None of that worked. Then I found a clinic that had a Pulsed electromagnetic machine called a Papimi machine. Within a few 30 minute treatments all my symptoms from the stroke were gone, and there were a lot more symptoms than just the depression and paranoia.

You can no longer find clinics that use the Papimi machine as it's illegal in the US now, but there are quite a few clinics or chiropracters, etc who have different and as effective PEMFT (Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy) machines. My son found a place in Southern Oregon that had a Bemer 3000. He used it for a couple of months because of a back injury. One of the side benefits he experienced was a HUGE feeling of well being, almost to a point of ecstasy. Another friend of mine who lives in Southern Oregon and has been a Tai Chi teacher for many years used the Bemer for a couple of months and he said it gave him tremendous energy and a sense of calm and well being, almost like doing a few hours of Tai Chi.

I also have friends who have used the MRS 2000 PEMFT machine and had amazing results with not only their health problems but it has always given them a feeling of great energy and well being. I would highly recommend that you try to either find a place that uses a PEMFT machine or purchase one if you can afford it.

These are some of the best machines and you can find out some good info at this website:
http://electromeds.com/

Medithera
MRS 2000
Bemer 3000
Quantron

There is also another machine called the Quantum Pulse.
This is a list of locations that offer treatments:
http://www.thequantumpulse.com/

There are many videos on youtube with people's experiences with the MRS 2000 and Bemer 3000 and some of the other less well known PEMFT machines.

I was actually happy that I got to experience depression and paranoia for a few months, otherwise I had no real understanding that it was not always a state one could just "will" themselves out of. When people told me they were depressed or had panic attacks it was difficult for me to empathize and I would think to myself "why don't they just focus on the positive things in life!" or some other typical new age response. If your brain has undergone organic changes there is often little you can easily do to reverse it with good intentions and thoughts, diets and healers. Pulsed Electromagnet Field Therapy works. It changes you on a cellular level and you experience an incredible and long lasting sense of well being. In the 6 years or so since I had 20 treatments the depression and paranoia I experienced has never returned.

NancyV I shall check that out myself. Interesting. Thanks

I don't know about you, but I find that I my own power comes to me when I need it. When we're not in a dangerous situation, it's easy to think we'd be too scared to act, but when we are in that situation, we deal with it a lot better. I had an abduction experience a bit back and found my power with very effective results. You have to have confidence in yourself that you have the power. When you have that confidence, you don't have to find it when you need it because it finds you. I know of somebody who had to have a biopsy to determine if they had cancer or not (luckily, they didn't), and somebody said they were being too blasé about it, saying "You've never had cancer before, you don't know how you would deal with it" and they replied "Cancer's never had me before".

Hello Debby,

I can empathize 100% with you, because I've been there (maybe not in your shoes, but at the point where you feel like you are at the end of your rope). Getting in touch with that inner strength and power can be tricky if we're not listening to our inner(higher) self as to what we need to be doing.

Yes, listening is the key, and to listen you need to be able to quiet that strem of thought that is continually attempting to pull you under and drown you in worry, concern and what-if's.

For me, the answer was through meditation. Before you write it off, it really isn't as hard as it seems, especially if you start off slow. Even five minutes twice a day can do wonders to help you to clear your mind; to quiet it enough that you can start hearing what your higher (inner) self has to tell you; to get in touch with the inner source that never runs dry.

If you're interested in a very basic meditation that won't take up large amounts of your day, PM me, it's the method I used to teach both of my daughters to meditate when they were just 10 and 15 (they're now 15 & 20) and I'd be happy to share :)

Seiko-kishi I understand what your saying but if Debby's experiances are the same as mine, when the attacks happen there's absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. I can be plodding along quite merrily in life then "bam" and down I go like a sack of potatoes. Heart racing, mind racing and the whole world looks different. Strange, as if Im just not on the planet. I believe lack of minerals is a factor due to the depletion in our soil etc.

Have you tried Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)? It's free and easy to learn. Google it.

Good luck, great blessings, and blinding light!

[Peace of Mind]

We are all healers, destroyers, educators, students, Devils….. GODS. Your actions will determine where you fit in at any giving moment. God is everything, and everything here we created. You just have to be who you are to truly understand and recognize this. Do you honestly know of any greater device/machine/ equipment better then the Human body and mind? It heals everything if you allow it. Nothing or no one can heal you…they just give you a deeper illusion of them/it healing you while your mind/body is doing all the work. Your body is your temple and everything in and around it is part of it’s design…what you do and don’t do. Also talk to your body, give thanks to it for doing all that it does…because so often it gets very little credit for its magnificence.

You have to ponder/meditate on this, go within and trust yourself. Cliché, perhaps…but this really can’t be explained any clearer because you yourself know your predicament better than anyone else. You already have the answers…but finding them may require some soul searching, some re-empowerment. You can’t literally rely on external solutions because everything external is a done deal… the results of our thinking. To change the external you have to create from the eternal internal (follow me). No one can solve your personal issues for you; they can only assist you in solving them. Problems cannot exist without the solutions, problems are there to help you grow, but you will not grow if you don’t face the problem. Remove the fear, fear is just a feeling to inform you of the unknown, to know… you have to interact. Once you interact, you’ll be able to discern and ultimately recognize what you knew all along and see for yourself that you just had a bit of amnesia. This is normal, maybe because the lesson wasn’t properly absorbed in the first place. (But that’s another topic).

Your thoughts will determine the outcome…so be optimistic when dwelling on the issues at hand. Negative outcomes come from negative thinking. Change your mind change your world and never let ANYONE place doubt on those ideas you feel will work. It might not work for others simply because they were not the thoughts of others. Their thoughts are suppose to CO-EXIST with yours. So be what you will and let the universe do what it do. =-)

Don’t worry about a thing, be constructive in who you are and allow the development to persist. The growing pains will settle in time, but the benefits can last forever…that’s only if you choose.

Peace

Hi Debby,
I want to echo Lisab's recommendation of Kundalini yoga. It's a great form of yoga. I would say it's best to go to a class at first but a good dvd will do. And yes spending more time outdoors is also great advice, either lying on the ground of having your bare feet on the ground for at least twenty minutes a day would probably do you a lot of good, everyone really. I've never had panic attacks but someone close to me gets them. I think it is hard for people who don't have them to understand. Sometimes it seems like it's a put on to other people. I told my family member to close her eyes when she gets them and take deep breaths. This helps her get through it pretty quickly. As soon as you close your eyes you start producing more alpha brain waves. When you have a panic attack your brain is in high beta so you want to slow that down. You probably already know that.

I think sometimes that when we are going through a rough time we make it harder on ourselves by judging our experience. We tell ourselves "I should'nt be feeling this way" because naturally it feels bad. But if you can surrender to how you are feeling without judgement you eliminate the added stress of resistance. You are feeling crummy, that's the reality, just be ok with it, don't fight it mentally. This doesn't mean you are saying I like feeling this way and I want it to continue. It just means you are not fighting with reality thereby making yourself feel worse. You find the strength/power in yourself by ironically surrendering and giving yourself space and allowing yourself to feel whatever you are feeling without judgement. Nothing can make you feel weaker than fighting with reality because reality always wins. When we can make reality our friend instead of our enemy we can recover our strength and then we find ourselves finding little solutions quite naturally and things can get better.

The one infallible constant in this life is change. You will get through this as you have other trials. Accept and love yourself totally. You will find your way.

[Carmody]

worrying when 'open' is a natural thing. empathy extends to and integrates with others, so you end up with not just your own weight to carry, but that of others-combined. Do not be afraid to take a day off from worrying about the world, it will carry on fine.

But ...to be whom you are, you will naturally fall back to worrying about the world and trying to carry everyone's water, again....with respect to empathy. Empathy can and usually does evolve into compassion, which is where it will go, in the vast number of cases.

The point is carry it when you feel you need to..... and let it go when you need the rest.

As for panic attacks, they tend to be the harbinger of one's opening. The panic attacks are the line of defense of the body feeling the rising issue coming but not knowing what exactly it is. It has no form, it comes from the inside. Since the ego controls the body's basic function in an unrealized fashion, one's personal 'opening' is preceded by panic attacks--through the ego which is fearful of any potential for dissolution.

[christian]

Let go of attachements, of wanting achieve this or that. And after you really did that - you can achieve what you wanted to achieve. It's a paradox. I want to cite the Dao De Jing:


If you want to become whole,
let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight,
let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.

[...]

If you want to shrink something,
you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,
you must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,
you must first allow it to be given.
This is called the subtle perception
of the way things are.

The soft overcomes the hard.
The slow overcomes the fast.
Let your workings remain a mystery.
Just show people the results.

[Franny]

Hey Debby, hope some of these practices are settling things for you a bit. I know EFT works for many people. Itʻs quick to do each day and easy to learn.

EMDR is also worth a try. It was developed for men returning from war with PTSD. Click here for EMDR vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5IRwMqZSMg&list=FLZKU3U_DW309uOXQ9q51lOQ&index=4)

As you watch and follow instructions tell your self that you are letting go of___. Then another time, or half way through, you watch tell yourself that you are choosing to___ in itʻs place. Many find it helps balance the brain and reset neural pathways to the new choice if practiced for a few weeks.

I hope some of these give you some relief. The EMDR worked for a friend that was raped. She was afraid to go out by herself and having panic attacks too. It took her about a month, 4 visits, of professional EMDR therapy to recover. Itʻs different for everyone.

This particular vid helps me slow down my brain when I get busy and stressed and canʻt sleep. Take a look at some of the others and see if any appeal to you.

Best wishes for your good health!

Ah yes, anxiety and panic attacks are absolutely awful. I suffer from GAD so I have absolute sympathy with anybody else who is brought to heel by anxiety, but I've often found that it is the little things that provoke anxiety. When I had that abduction experience, I was so completely free from anxiety because I was indignant. I really didn't care what this alien thought of my lack of co-operation. It would be hypocritical in the extreme for me to give advice on how to cope with anxiety when I'm so useless at it myself, but anxiety is a fault in the fight-or-flight system (since people who suffer from anxiety are on a heightened state of alert all the time) and when it comes to fighting (as I interpreted standing in one's own power) that system is working perfectly well. In a job interview, fight-or-flight anxiety will be a great hindrance, but in a self-defence situation it's a great help.

Hi Debby....

To day i had just this discussion you brought up with a loved one, (funny how life works)
She told me she got a time at Registered psychologists, and just needed to talk alot too get the issue out of her. Quote "I just need to talk a lot, you cant help me"
I askt her knowingly she has wrestled many years with this, does it help you to talk a lot, if you look back??
No not really, but it feels good for a moment!!

I told her how i try to stay in the moment just here and now, feel the wind gentle touch your skin, listen to the birds and all the sounds around you.
And as soon the silly voice in your head starts nagging about the things i really cant do anything about right in the moment i am in, i tell the voice to keep silent even to shut-up.
This i have to repeat over and over, and it have been a blessing in my life. Slowly but surely i have taken my life back.

This needs the will and determination to pull-off, and i am not sure my loved one can do it yet.
nevertheless i like to share this with you...and send all my love to you...

[divine_moments_of_truth]

Wow, I'm very glad you posted this. I'm dealing with a little bit of social anxiety which seemed to start around the time of my awakening. I usually get nervous around unfriendly, ignorant groups of people, which happens a lot because I'm still in college lol.

The first step to overcoming anxiety is talking face-to-face with another awake/spiritual individual, and it's crucial that you don't hold anything back. After you have got all of this off your chest it's time to begin the journey of beating this; first you must identify what exactly it is that makes you anxious/nervous. Also, it's important that you remember the exact situation that all this stems from.

Second Step: Confront these circumstances as much as possible, and do this with your head held high and only good intentions. If you find yourself getting anxious simply take deep breaths through your nose and out your mouth while thinking about something beautiful. Eventually with enough exposure you will keep your nerves and improve your livelihood greatly.

A few other things, meditation is very helpful and a shrink can be a good person to talk to but I would personally never take any type of medication for this.

[Robert J. Niewiadomski]

So many wise advices :) All i can add is wishing you all well!
I know you will all overcome your fear :) You are Creators :)
Thank you for being here and now...

[conk]

Yes, we are creators. The Hawaiian practice known as H'Oponopono holds that we create everything around us, everything. We are 100% responsible. Years of teaching and volumes of study can be distilled down to the key phrase: I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you , I love you. Repeat this phrase over and over for each time you feel anxious. It works, it really does.

More intelligent, educated among us can explain the immense power of the words, the strength in the simple vibration of the sounds, and how they resonate in your heart. Showing gratitude and love are perhaps the most powerful actions that can be taken.

And as said above, let go of the need to change. What you resist, persists. Set your intention to be calm, but be willing to accept any state that manifests in a particular time.

More blessings, Conk

Debby,

When you have the guts &! a real good guide in the folowing ; you might go for a vision quest , 4 days no food no drink ,in a sacred/protected circle , meditate on your life , your most personal self ,all
other **** you leave behind you when you step in your protected circle,as a promise to yourself.

Power to you

Hi Debby

I find that being still helps me, just being at one with the moment, acknowledging and accepting how I am feeling whilst not allowing it to define me. I become the observer of my emotions but detach myself from them. Bringing feelings into my awareness often loosens the grip and power they have over me. Also knowing what triggers these moments of anxiety and panic may help you to squash them before they take you over. Monitoring when and where they occur and the thoughts you are having at the time may help you to get to the root cause or belief that generates panic and anxiety in you. This may be the starting point for you to find the answers you seek. Wishing you love and light

[Debby]

Wow, thank you all for your messages!! As some have mentioned the breathing, meditation ect. I have tried that but doesn't help.
The panic attacks are the worst while driving my car. This is playing for years now. But it has gotten worse. First it was the high way but last year it started on other roads aswell. Last week I couldn't even pick up my daughter from school which is just a few blocks away so i pulled over and walked. At school I justed lost it and an other mother asked me if i was alright and then I just started crying.I felt so awful, I think if you haven't been there it is hard to understand.I know there is no real fear and keep telling myself but my body takes over. I almost had an accident twice this year because of it. I avoid it now not only because I am scared for a panic reaction but also for putting others and myself in danger.
I think it may be because I avoid my feelings, dening myself.
You know what makes it so hard is the fact that you are like a bird in a cage. And it reflects every aspect in my life.Maybe when i break free myself everything will fall in place.
I do understand that some mentioned that is has to come from my inner, I know i have to do it myself. But there maybe some tools you guys can hand me.
Thank you all for the reactions and I know more people are dealing with this but find it hard to talk about. I haven't told many people about it, it is hard to accept being a basketcase when you have always been strong.

Love debby

Debbie YOU ARE NOT A BASKET CASE. OK?. Sounds to me like acute stress. See a clinical psychologist. That helped me quickly. 3 sessions for an hour each. That was 35 yrs ago and it never recurred. Stress. BTW IT happened to me mostly if not exclusively whilst driving my car.

[Midnight Rambler]

I do understand that some mentioned that is has to come from my inner, I know i have to do it myself. But there maybe some tools you guys can hand me.

I have had some therapy some time ago. There I learned that, although I wished i could just read a manual for my problem and solve it that way, there is no short term solution, I am sorry to say. I am a bit concerned that the tools you refer to are "tricks" to feel better, but my experience tells me that these tricks will, in the long run, trick you.

What helped me to overcome fear is mind my breathing. Hart coherence is created by doing breathing exercises.

Since you and I are both Dutch I will give you the Dutch links.

Link (http://www.wikifysio.nl/hartcoherentie/)

I got started using this after reading this book

Uw Brein Als Medicijn (http://www.uwbreinalsmedicijn.nl/)

I hope this will help you.

BTW singing helps too. I always sing when driving and I don't care how out of tune it sounds. :) It gives me a great feeling of freedom when I sing along with my CD's .

The thing is Debby, anxiety is an irrational thing by its nature. It's like a phobia: you can't have a phobia of lions because a fear of lions is perfectly rational. If your anxiety had a rational basis, it wouldn't be a disorder, it would be a proper response. You can't blame yourself for feeling the way you do.

The thing is though, when you avoid things that cause anxiety, the anxiety only increases. That is why your anxiety has increased from just driving on the motorway to driving on lesser roads as well. I can't tell you how to face up to it though because I don't know myself. The only saving grace I have is that I feel anxiety for everything, so I can't always avoid it. I have never learned to drive a car because just thinking about being behind the wheel of a big vehicle makes me think I'd knock people over.

I am writing this post searching and searching in the darkest recesses of my memory to find some solution for you, and all I keep coming up with is my own inadequacies in that regard. I really wish I could find a solution for you because I know so intimately what problems you are facing. The thing about anxiety though is that you are strong. It's not that you've suddenly become weak; you are strong because you have to be strong. You have to be strong every day doing the smallest of things. There is no time to relax, no pause for breath. I so sincerely wish I had a solution for you, but all I have are commiserations.

[Asyloth]

If meditation didn't work for you Debby, it means you're not really meditating. Real meditation is not just closing eyes, it's trying to reach another state of consciousness, a state where you're kind of one with the universe, a state where your own persona disapears for a little while. Usually when I need it I make thirty minutes of it and after it's like I've slept a all night.
Meditation is a good way for me since it's something I've developped myself without ever having heard of it when I was somewhere between 10 and 12 years old. But I think there's no miracle way, each one has its own way to regain energy, sometimes I just listen to some musics I like, there are lots of ways, sometimes you just need to talk about it to people around you, sometimes it's more simple than we think to regain energy.

I think you internalize your wounds too much, maybe you should externalize your feelings more and take this weight off your shoulders, cause when you take weight over and over again without ever putting some down, sooner or later, it's too much, now I'm saying that but I'm not such an externalizer myself, but so far I'm able to handle it. Actually I think I've unconsciously desensibilized myself, I used to be someone very sensitive, not any more.

My mother (44 years old) also have anxiety crisis sometimes, when she becomes so panicked she can barely breathe, this is our time's plague, I think we need to change the way our society runs to cure that global (occidental) problem.

With all my affection,
All avalonians are with you that's something already :)

Dear Debby,

You don't have to answer me, but this may help. Ask yourself what decision you are avoiding because the consequences you perceive may be too threatening! I find that more often than not this has been my underlying problem and denying myself, my worth and value as well as my feelings was one way to avoid taking charge of something that seemed to big to tackle let alone overcome.

When I finally make a decision I feel confusion leaving and resources entering and one resource, one step and one day at a time I put a plan into place and with little confidence and much angst at first I begin the stages of creating what I need and want into my reality. It is hard work, painful and can be long and daunting but you sound like you have youth on your side and a child to love you and be with you along your chosen path.

I believe in me these days and I believe in you :) Now it is your turn !!! This thread is full of wonderful resources of which I have used and still use many along with much love and support for you.

Please know you are of as much worth as you little girl or anyone one else for that matter and please stop abandoning you and your very own little girl. I love you dear one :)

[Ontarioguy]

Hi there Debby! The above post by Sandy pretty much says it all for me. Thanks to you Sandy for lending your thoughts. They resonate with me and it is what I would have shared as well. Debby, having been friends on Avalon for a couple of years now, please know that I too "Believe in you". You can and WILL RISE ABOVE THIS!! No matter the situation. So many here are cheering you on to better days ahead!!! Much love and prayers beamed your way!

Sometimes we need outside help and assistance to get over the hard parts. I had a bout with my third chakra, thyroid, that had many of your same symptoms and they felt extreme and horrible to endure. Our third chakra controls our whole circulation system and it can mimic many serious illnesses as well and this can happen when our Pineal gland comes online as it was meant to over time. It's a good sign although no one could convince me of this fact either.

One thing of help was this invocation ~ not to mention medication for a time until I could overcome it on my own power and get it back into full balance. Balance is KEY. I offer it along with my blessings to you.

While I did not realize it at the time, this, too, is part of the ascension process of having our body change and the activation of all chakra's including some we are not even aware exist in our auric field outside our physical bodies. You are evolving which is part of this whole process. I found this knowledge to be helpful and also as many invocations and attunements as I could find. I have them all if you are interested PM me and I'll send them to you. Here is a powerful one to begin with:

Thank you kersley,
I wish I had that trust in myself. I know the answers are there but how do you reach them/
Love debby

I had a lot of issues with trust in myself, paranoia and lack of confidence when I was a young man.
A series of synchronicities led me to these two books.

The first of which was "Born to win", which may sound cheesy, but I have had folks read it and come back to me and say it changed their life.
It deals with a lot of transactional analysis, and helps one understand the internal conflicts taking place within oneself that may not be resolved.
I never realized how many internal voices I had in conflict with one another creating stress and confusian within my psyche.

http://images.shopping.indiatimes.com/images/product/101627_born-to-win_pbilimage1.jpg

The next book that helped to put emphasis on this internal struggle was "the celestine prophecy".
The Celestine Prophecy is a story like parable that imparts the understanding that all interactions we have with one another are at the core energetic in their nature.
And this in turn led me to understand that my internal dialogue I was made aware of in "born to win" was a series of control dramas laid down through the devolopment of my life through parental punishement, scholastic socializing and peer pressure.
The Celestine Prophecy talks about the control dramas people use on one another to steal energy, but it is very easy to make the jump and realize we use those same control dramas on our self every day to feed portions of our awareness that are tramatized and bleeding spiritual energy.

[markpierre]

Hi Debby. I lived for 10 years from age 17 to 27 in acute panic. Existence really was just isolated to moments of anticipation of the next attack. Back then there wasn't much available on the subject and small town doctors were confident that Valium was the solution for anything that had anything to do with anxiety, so it went undiagnosed. Valium was intolerable to me, and that was a good thing, but sedation became an issue anyway. Self medication. You really can be grateful that you even know what it is. I thought it was madness.
But I regard my experience as a sort of training. (This is weird, I had this conversation this morning with a friend in this forum over coffee) Eventually I was so devastated after years of 'hanging on' to life, that I finally let go. "okay, take me". Dead couldn't be more uncomfortable than what was happening. It wasn't like a decision, but it could have been. As has always been my modus operandi, I hung on until I couldn't anymore.
So I learned to die. Eventually that became a method, and eventually the panic attacks dwindled in frequency and stopped. I'd let my heart race and anticipate it exploding, and sometimes have the most exquisite experiences of lifting up and floating that I thought I'd actually passed over.
It ended, but the value of the entire experience was never lost. It may have even been an acceleration of processing fear. I'd like to think that. Truck loads of fear I'd have to say.
I never understood if it was something wrong that needed to be 'fixed', or if it just was something I needed. It certainly impacted my inner life and my journey in a helpful way.

I believe the 'power' you expect to be able to access in yourself really is in yourself, but it's not 'of' yourself. It's being able to acquiesce to it, rather than command it. That's just my take on it, it may be one and the same.

Interestingly I had a recurrence of panic attacks during a recent period of extreme stress. The kind of stress you wonder how you survived. I remembered that technique, but it was incredibly disrupting to be walking down the aisle of a warehouse and suddenly be on my knees
struggling to stay conscious. I had to keep going, I had to endure it, maybe so that when I could safely collapse it was a complete enough collapse. I agreed to a course of antidepressants in the meantime, sort of an 'oh....all right' decision, and I have to admit that the panic subsided immediately. The drug was hell to get off of, but the panic never returned while I was using it. One of my teachers used to say "If you're sick, go to a doctor.". Strangely my fear of doctors was greater than my fear of sickness. You really only meet angels when you step into those scenarios. That's my experience anyway.

Now the doctors and psychologists will say that it's simply an errant message from the brain that triggers your 'fight or flight' mechanism. That it's no big deal. Still no answer that I've heard about the 'why' it occurs, but you might watch your diet for a while and see if your blood sugar has something to do with it. Stress can cause your pancreas to become over-reactive to sugars/carbs. Bare in mind that all these seemingly sudden changes in us and in the world, and the strangeness of this new energy has all of our senses on 'heightened alert'. We're all sharing this sensitivity, and it may well be that some of us will need that rush of adrenalin for a practical purpose.

Is that useful at all? I feel really strongly that you're okay, best wishes to you.

[Anchor]

I don't post alot but am here everyday. I alway had alot of strength, as I had to deal with alot . That's ok, it's life. But now I am at a point that I don't have any strength which I need now! How do you find the power in yourself? I know I have it, I just to need it alot. But what do you do when you can't reach it? And the weakness takes over? One of the things I am dealing with is anxiety and really bad panic attacks, not just a little! And that is keeping me prison. I need that to go away so I have the strength to move on. I have tried emdr, healing seasons,Inositol Powder,hypnosis( that doesn't work for me cause they say I am to smart for that) ect.
I can't accept that this is ruling my life, I haven't gone through a hard life to end like this.
All advice and healing is welcome and if anyone can do a reading let me now,
Much love,

I read this.... then I read the sig....


Have faith, my Child, have faith. Do not be bewildered. For you are beyond all things, The heart of all knowing. You are the Self. You are God. -Ashtavakra Gita 15:8

Further to my original email, and after some thought... You wanted a reading... Here is mine of sorts. Please note that this one is going to be heavily tinged with my own biases and prejudices and cannot be relied on as a gospel solution on a plate (which I am afraid to say, you are unlikely to get, until you figure some stuff out).

"Please recognize that there is an underlying root cause - none of this is happening without a reason.

You are comfortable with your independence and you are fighting over its loss.

The advice given about meditation in this thread is accurate in so far as it would benefit you to attempt to find your path to meditation, as it will help you then find your path to the power you seek.

If you find yourself having a panic attack in the car, pull over and mentally ask for help. We, your guides and other helpers are all here for you but can only really help when asked. The hands and strong arms are there to support you in the fabric of the "reality" in which we are all slowly "becoming" aware of our parts in creation and the truth of that.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you - Matt 7:7 KJV

The truth represents a scary scenario to the independence loving ego's with which we have been provided as learning yokes. Your fighting, but to win this war, you need to gather some more of the details about the battlefield.

In your meditations/thinking/reflection, please ask your self: what is it that is panicking? who is it that is panicking? Which components of my body are initiating the panicking? Why are they doing that?

The answers are within you.

At an intellectual level you know it. That is why you used the signature like the one that you currently use.

As you also asked for healing, please accept that which is offered here - but it is first aid. You have a few things you need to do in order to solve this completely"

[mahalall]

benzodiazepines is not the road you do want to be driving.

If the organic nature of breath from anapanna to ujjayi is not helping

and you cann't get to a clinical psychologist and your not into the gym thing

try this- ( i know their be will critics and i know it has it's associations) but I use this in emergencies and when driving to the suffering that is my paid job


lqcWl6VAB_M

[Bongo]

Slow shallow breathing will help... the reason you don't take deep breaths is that you can unbalance your oxygen/carbon dioxide intake, this usually happens during a anxiety attack because you panic & take giant gulps of air. you should have heard of breathing in to a paper bag when having a panic attack, the reason for this is to balance your carbon dioxide levels because of the amount of oxygen you are taking in during the giant panic gulps. doing the slow shallow breathing is like breathing in to a paper bag but better because you consciously avoiding taking the giant gulps...this does help... but obviously won't cure you but hopefully make it more manageable till you get the the cause of your anxiety.

I've never really found meditation useful for problems like this unless you are meditating for clarity of the problem & not just to alter your awareness so i don't see how meditation would be as useful in practical terms for this (but each to there own, there is no right & wrong).

You said "I think it may be because I avoid my feelings, dening myself." it seems you are already on the track to identifying your problems, the best ways I combated my anxiety was by clear understanding of the problem, This may take you to look in to the parts of yourself that you may have not wanted to look at before, oh & look at yourself without judgement. Once thats done you can come up with a plan of action to prevent it happening.

[stardustaquarion]

In my experience anxiety only comes when we regret the past or worry about the future. We have a choice and it is to learn how to live in the now. When we were very young we were able to live in the now but family/social conditioning lead us to believe that fitting and conforming into society is more important than being who we are

The fitting/comforming only can be done for so long, there is a point in which we have to either numb ourselves into oblivion in order not to feel the pain and avoid listening to ourselves or accept that the paradigm we are living is somebody else's dream and does not agree with what our consciousness wants...only then we can start dropping believes that are not ours and that we adopted thinking they will bring us happiness...this is not easy but it gets easier as we relinquish all that is not ours

Going against the grain is not for every one and most people chose oblivion. There are many social aids like food, medicines, alcohol, drugs, television, sex, sports etc that assist people sinking into oblivion but the pain never really goes and anxiety requires more aids in order to keep it at bay

Our disconection to ourselves and the natural world around us lead us to anxiety as we lose the intuition and love that comes from that conection and it is irreplaceable

Taking responsibility for all that we are is always helpful but can become a dark alley if we are harsh at judging ourselves

Consciousness is already perfect, it does not need salvation or ascension, all that we have to do is to re-engage with it and the planet. It is a process not a instant thing so the suffering will continue as we unburdain our authentic selves to become all that we are, without rules, without demands, without judgement and without karma

[Snowbird]

Wow, thank you all for your messages!! As some have mentioned the breathing, meditation ect. I have tried that but doesn't help.
The panic attacks are the worst while driving my car. This is playing for years now. But it has gotten worse. First it was the high way but last year it started on other roads aswell. Last week I couldn't even pick up my daughter from school which is just a few blocks away so i pulled over and walked. At school I justed lost it and an other mother asked me if i was alright and then I just started crying.I felt so awful, I think if you haven't been there it is hard to understand.I know there is no real fear and keep telling myself but my body takes over. I almost had an accident twice this year because of it. I avoid it now not only because I am scared for a panic reaction but also for putting others and myself in danger.
I think it may be because I avoid my feelings, dening myself.
You know what makes it so hard is the fact that you are like a bird in a cage. And it reflects every aspect in my life.Maybe when i break free myself everything will fall in place.
I do understand that some mentioned that is has to come from my inner, I know i have to do it myself. But there maybe some tools you guys can hand me.
Thank you all for the reactions and I know more people are dealing with this but find it hard to talk about. I haven't told many people about it, it is hard to accept being a basketcase when you have always been strong.

Love debby

Debby, you are definitely Not a basket case. There are several people on this thread alone who have experienced the same or similar. In years past, I experienced panic attacks. It is difficult to pin down the exact cause because during that time period, life just wasn't working out. Plus, my physical body was going through upheavals hormonally and physically and emotionally. All I know is that I became so tired of and disgusted with episodes of these attacks, that I started researching and finding the cause. I don't how many times that I was shopping at the grocer and right in the middle of a large shopping, I would have a panic attack and have to leave. It goes way beyond being embarrassing.

Diet and nutrients played a large part in this. However, each physical body is totally different from the next. I had to research and experiment and I definitely would recommend eating ALL organic foods if you can get them and afford them. Plus, for years, I have been purchasing highly filtered drinking water and that has made a huge difference. This is another area of research. Find out what is in the tap water in your area. Find out what is in the air you breathe.

The reason that I suggest these research projects is because once you know and understand what you are actually putting into your body, and what chemicals are added to the air and water, you begin to take-charge...of you. You become educated. At a point in time, you will take control of this problem, telling your mind and your body that YOU are indeed in control. Education is power. The understanding and the knowing about what-is, equates to becoming powerful. We ARE extremely powerful beings. EXTREMELY POWERFUL!

I think that the most important aspect of this transformation process is being gentle with yourself. Understand that whatever is happening with your physical body will be transformed with a lot of self-love and tender loving care. If your child was having a problem, you would lovingly help her...yes? Give yourself this same gentle care.

Have you done your astrological chart? Such issues, regarding things that are seeming to 'happen' (in time) as in suddenly occur or build up, this can and is usually shown in the astrology of the time, for the given person.

Bless you, panic attacks are scary - I have seen someone dear to me go through them and it wasn't nice.
I agree with ktlight when she says offer this up - try it, you will get an answer at some stage

Also, my suggestions:
Make sure you have enough rest/sleep and quiet times - it helps

On a daily basis say to yourself over and over again
" I am in my body, now, nowhere else"
and concentrate on you being in your body and when your mind trys to 'takes over' with memories or thoughts that are negative or damaging to you say it again .....................
BELIEVE that you have the strength and the energy. You've had it before so its there, its not gone from you.
ACCEPT that at the moment you don't have strength/power/energy, but you WILL.
Much LOVE to you

I had an interesting experience over the weekend with regards to possibly understanding what panic attacks might be caused by...

I've been studying 'modelling' recently which is a branch of hypnosis where you identify someone who displays excellence in some kind of skill or ability and through asking questions about aspects of their experience you can help them uncover their methods for being successful with that skill, thereby learning to copy on a profoundly deep level exactly what they're doing so you can master that skill much more quickly.

Anyway, I needed someone to practice the modelling process with so I asked my girlfriend what she feels her greatest skill or ability might be and after some thought she replies her ability to have psychic premonitions of future events...dreams that come true, also being able to read peoples energy and predict what's going to happen.

'Great' I'm thinking, 'how the hell do you model someone who's fast asleep most of the time when their ability takes place'. After asking a few more probing questions to encourage her to go into that psychic state she begins to look a bit hesitant and then starts to backtrack on herself...

"actually no" she says "being psychic is a horrible ability to have, it makes you too sensitive to energy, I pick up other peoples negativity too easily, I can just be walking along quite peacefully and out of the blue I'll get a rush of these horrible feelings and i know they're not mine but I'm just picking them up from the environment, i don't know whose feelings they are, who they come from or how to get rid of them so I really badly start to panic, my legs feel like jelly, my stomach churns in knots...and...and" like a single snowball being thrown and cascading into an avalanche I could see her beginning to access that state of panic so I just shouted "STOP, wait, come back a few seconds, what's happening in your left big toe as all that is happening?"

(moving awareness into your big toe is just a simple misdirection trick used in hypnosis to temporarily distract the conscious mind for long enough to lose track of the state it was about to access, getting someone to hold their awareness in their big toes for 30-90 seconds is usually long enough to help them drain mild forms of anxiety out of their body, like lightning being discharged through a grounding rod into the earth, holding the attention in their toes can really help people find their grounding and their connection to the earth through their feet...while at the same time it also helps people to switch awareness from operating out of the analytical fearful left brain hemisphere and grounds them in the fearless sensations of the energetic right brain of the here and now where concepts and fearfulness loses all meaning)

Knowing that she suffers from frequent severe panic attacks I knew this misdirection trick wouldn't help her overcome her panic attacks completely so to help her gain more clarity over what might be triggering it I asked her to describe what happens just before the panic attacks begin, she described tingling sensations all around her body, through her legs, across her bum, up her spine, around her head, in her chest and in her stomach and then a kind of foggy hazy cloud that mysteriously appears and envelops her, as the cloud sweeps into her awareness it's like she's in a dream, everything becomes unreal and she loses her ability to think coherently, time seems warped and like simone said in a previous post, like a bad psychedelic trip...

so far she says this is only affecting her senses, feels as though it's distorting her perception of and ability to experience reality...I asked her at what point does the panic occur and she said it only truly starts when she logically tries to analyse and understand what's going on...due to the fact of not knowing what the hells going on her conscious mind spins out of control, she feels powerless and the feelings of fear and dread rush over her and continue to last for as long as the hazy fog stays which can stay anywhere from several minutes or last a couple of hours before it suddenly departs just as quickly and mysteriously as it came on. Only once the fog has lifted though can she regain control of her mental processes and start to calm herself and begin to think straight again.


As she's describing her experience I couldn't help but notice how similar her experiences are compared to what David Wilcock describes in his book about what happens when matter flips from our reality over into time-space, where moving through space is actually moving through time making time travel a reality.

He mentions that when matter moves faster than the speed of light it pops over into this time-space dimension and seemingly disappears from our reality gaining access to that part of us that exists beyond time. The key to being able to do this he says is that every atom in our body is already spinning at the speed of light so it only takes a very small push of extra energy to get those atoms spinning into the next dimension. His description of what happens when you might pop into time-space is eerily similar to what my girlfriend says happens as that foggy hazy cloud comes over her.

Which naturally leads to the conclusion that what if people who are highly psychic actually pick up energy from their environment that causes some of their atoms in their body to cross the threshold into time space (creating the tingling sensations and allowing part of their awareness to pick up on future events and premonitions), would also explain the legs feeling like jelly, stomach churning in knots, feeling as though your in a strange dream or bad psychedelic trip...the hazy fog could be due to a field of energy that softens the veil between dimensions with your conscious awareness caught between two worlds it would easy to see how that would cause a lot of stress and lot of panic if you had no awareness as to what was truly happening.

The only problem comes from the analytical mind not knowing what to do so it flips out and sends us reeling into a state and triggering all the fear responses in the body, the extra energy could be coming in from someone thinking about you, talking about you, extra energy in our environment, even planetary or lunar alignments creating resonance in our cells...so I've discussed with my girlfriend that practising some kind of Buddhist equanimity meditation would probably help enable her to move into the fearless right hemisphere of the brain whenever these attacks come on, helping her remain present in the peaceful and ever present here and now and if she is actually able to practice equanimity in that state I'm amazed to imagine how much more powerfully that might help enhance her psychic abilities a hundred fold.

For me, I find that if I just RELAX that things become much easier to deal with and I can find more strength to get over hurdles.

Not sure if this helps though.

[Debby]

In December i was able to start with a therapy concerning my panic attacks. It has helped me already, just by understanding what the attacks are and knowing they won't last long and exposer.
So I started getting out my comfort zone and driving!! I know I still have a long way to go but that's ok. It has been for years so I don't expect it to disapair in a few weeks. It's going faster than I expected.I have been avoiding so much in daily life because of the fear for the fear. Now I am starting to feel freedom again and feel my strength again, wow.
Thank you all for your wonderfull words,

Hi Debby,
You need a break. You could try a mindfulness technique some examples are:
- Having a shower and "focusing on only" and enjoying the feeling of the water flowing over your body
- Having something you really enjoy eating and savouring every bite of that food, say your favourite ice cream.
- Enjoying a sunset.
The point is to distract yourself from your thoughts and allow you to rest, calm down and refocus.

What ever takes your fancy, a mini break is as good as a mini holiday. Or you could hand your responsibilites over to another trustworthy soul or two for a weekend and take a weekend away, switch of your mobile phone and really leave all your responsibilites behind.

All the best Boris

[motherlove]

Dear Debbie, I have faith in you. When we experience pain of any kind we tend to push it away or suppress it to be dealt with later. In dealing with pain later never comes. With lessons we need to learn they come back over and over to teach us something. I would recommend when possible to go right into the panic feeling and welcome it for its lesson. Talk to it and say panic you are welcome here what is the message you bring to me. Stay with it as many times and occurances as you can as your body has began a knee jerk reaction that needs to be reprogrammed. It is as simple as knowing you will not die from a panic attack it just feels uncomfortable and letting yourself heal. You are the healer have the love and patience for yourself to heal yourself you can do it. There are many therapies "out there" but and please I mean no offense to anyone or their beliefs, you have the power to change this. Be gentle. Best Wishes.

Very true , pushing pain away for to long isn't good for you. It is denying yourself, your emotions ect. I am now aware of my lessons. I welcome my fear and panic attacks when they come up, I will not deny this feeling. I realize that no therapist can heal me. It is something i have to do, but they can sometimes advise and give exercises that are benifit.

Hi Debby,
You need a break. You could try a mindfulness technique some examples are:
- Having a shower and "focusing on only" and enjoying the feeling of the water flowing over your body
- Having something you really enjoy eating and savouring every bite of that food, say your favourite ice cream.
- Enjoying a sunset.
The point is to distract yourself from your thoughts and allow you to rest, calm down and refocus.

What ever takes your fancy, a mini break is as good as a mini holiday. Or you could hand your responsibilites over to another trustworthy soul or two for a weekend and take a weekend away, switch of your mobile phone and really leave all your responsibilites behind.

All the best Boris

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sounds good

I don't post alot but am here everyday. I alway had alot of strength, as I had to deal with alot . That's ok, it's life. But now I am at a point that I don't have any strength which I need now! How do you find the power in yourself? I know I have it, I just to need it alot. But what do you do when you can't reach it? And the weakness takes over? One of the things I am dealing with is anxiety and really bad panic attacks, not just a little! And that is keeping me prison. I need that to go away so I have the strength to move on. I have tried emdr, healing seasons,Inositol Powder,hypnosis( that doesn't work for me cause they say I am to smart for that) ect.
I can't accept that this is ruling my life, I haven't gone through a hard life to end like this.
All advice and healing is welcome and if anyone can do a reading let me now,
Much love,
debby

To find this power you have to find yourself first. Detach yourself from all the drama, believe only what you can experience and consider what you can use to gain that experience. Never put trust in something you cannot authenticate, especially when the material is filled with disempowerment and fear. The presenters of false information want to persuade you into doing their bidding/ sharing in their misery. They mess with your mind by turning you into an emotional wreck. Only trust in yourself, if you have uncertainties, look within, learn how to meditate, contemplate the pro’s and cons of your ideas. And always remember that we are all extensions of the most high. We can do whatever we want. Anyone disagree or is constantly seen promoting anything less are either deceivers, or agents. There is nothing in this reality more powerful than you/us. Those that exhibit great power also exhibit great responsibility. One cannot work without the other…for if it did…the world would have been destroyed long ago.

Unlock your power by discarding false hope, ideas of unknown and unproven tales of entities claiming to be stronger than you. The only thing more powerful than you is the enemy you actually gave that power to. Before hand, it (the enemy) was weak and unheard of and needed your attention to gain strength and relevance in you world. True friends and family uplift/inspire/ empower those they care about…they cannot find it in their heart to see you uncomfortable…they will push you into prominence instead of introducing you to limitation and tales of your dominance. Know thy enemy, for he will keep you very close and blinded.

Peace

You will locate strength and power in your pineal gland.

It (you) will provide you the guidance you need in order to make the necessary changes in diet, lifestyle, outlook, language, hobbies, etc in order to change into a better semblance of who you really are. In my experience this is different for everyone.

Reducing Anxiety Jan 9th, 2012


First hour guest, nutritional therapist Nora Gedgaudas talked about the increasing problem of anxiety in society, and what she termed as over-arousal disorders such as panic attacks, ADHD, and PTSD. To alleviate these disorders, she suggested neurofeedback, a form of brain training/exercise that helps people manage their stress.

She also highlighted the importance of diet, and proper breathing (through the diaphragm) as stress reducers.
