Hello,
I would like to ask you if anybody has experience. My TCM therapist told me that reishi will help me with my extreme anxiety what is caused by my first surgery (dec 2013) with all anaesthesia.
Pills as anti-depr. didnt helped and made situation worse.
Thank you for advices !
Regards,
BB

I'm a Buddhist and I don't know if I believe in reishi. I don't know if the physical world can even effect your chakras with the simple stick of a needle or by placing pressure. Meditate instead, go by your local river, lake, a top a mountain, or to your local forest, at sunset, and smoke as joint; then just sit there and meditate. Go home and eat well, all fruits and vegetables and grass fed meats, and I can assure you, you'll feel way better than most any other method prescribed by Medical doctors. I'm sure you have a local Buddhist meditation group why not go check them out, my local group is amazing meets up by the river and they meditate for 2 45minute sessions once a week. Good luck to you brother. Much love.

I noticed a little bit of euphoria after taking a combo of reishi and turkey tail. I'm not sure if it was psychosomatic though.
The best thing for anxiety regardless of what you take is to slow down your breathing. Try the 5-3-7 ratio as an easy way to start. 5 sec inhale. 3 sec hold. 7 sec exhale. Doing that for several minutes will do wonders for just about anything even focusing. Or you can even build up to elongating your breathing and slowing it down to a few long breaths a minute.

Thank you, well I am afraid of meditation because many people say that you can go crazy from meditation ) But my state of health is really bad. My skin, no taste for food, anxiety, fears, toughts... As I said pills didnt help because I have trauma from anaesthesia. I used reishi for 3 months but didnt see any improvements thats why I am curious if I should take it more longer as he suggested because this capsules of reishi is very expensive and I am not employed person.
Hugs ))

Whomever says meditation drives you crazy is crazy him/herself. There's scientific data to back up to the contrary: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2014/06/12/what-does-mindfulness-meditation-do-to-your-brain/
Practice slowing your breathing first. It's so simple but very effective even without meditation. But meditation will take you to a new level of focus, relaxation and clarity.

Meditation will heal you brother, drink more tea, eat only healthy foods (stay away from hot pockets, chettoes, Oreos and the like). Pills don't work for everyone and there is not one cure all, but slowing your breathing, change in diet and meditating are the closest things. Anxiety is lots of times brought on and amplified by stress. whomever it was that told you meditation makes you crazy surely lacks any real scientific knowledge fore meditation had been used for thousands of years and positive benefits are present in near 100% of those who practice it daily.

My friend suggested me transcedental meditation but courses are so expensive. What kind of meditation do you suggest? Just sit, close eyes and let thoughts pop? ))

Meditation is more about tuning everything else out except for maybe a single image and finding comfort in the void. There's one beginners method where you stare at a candle and focus on the flame until nothing else exists but the flame. Then close your eyes and continue to see the flame in your mind. Shut out everything else and maintain slow breathing.
Tibetan "singing" bowls are helpful too with anxiety and insomnia.
