Gotu Kola/Bacopa
    #22223405 - 09/11/15 06:15 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hey everyone.

Has anyone tried either of these two for anxiety relief and seen any benefits?

My life has improved dramatically over the course of the past 4 or 5 months, but im still lookin for that extra oomph. Both of these sound promising as I've tried almost everything else.

Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated.

:heartpump:

I don't have much to add - but a few years ago I was in the habit of drinking gotu kola tea frequently... it tasted nice (mild, kinda like grass) and it might have relaxed me a bit, it was hard to tell. But I've read really good things about gotu kola which was what interested me in it :smile:

heyyyyyyy bunny. good to hear from you.

yeah, its been a crazy road. im definitely in a muchhhh better place now than I was six months ago when we were talking.

I started going to AA, and I got a sponsor. its not so much about what the program of AA is doing for me, as much as it is facing my fears everyday. going to meetings and being social (which I haven't been since being an isolated hardcore addict), and raising my hand and talking about real shit, how im feeling in the moment. im reading a lot into Buddhism and stuff and I really buckled down with my meditation practice too. its a struggle, but im workin at it. feeling much better.

how is everything????

That's awesome.

I quit drinking for like 24 days, but just relapsed. The fucking devil's nectar man....


Other than that I am phenomenal. I'm managing this yoga studio and teaching 2 classes a week, and am really close to getting my business going. I'm not wild about where I am geographically but that's ok.....

I don't know anything about either of those herbs, but glad you're doing better.

Have you ever tried yoga nidra??

You should check it out. It's a style of deep relaxation guided meditation that is meant to induce a state of "yogic sleep" or in between sleeping & dreaming. I have found it really helps enhance my sitting meditations, and overall anxiety levels.

Anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Not every day. Sometimes I do walking meditation instead of sitting meditation in the morning.

They call it "lucid sleeping" actually because you are actually still fully conscious.

I can try to share some recordings if y'all are interested....

Please do yogabunny. Sounds interesting.

I never really gave meditation or yoga a shot,
It's probably more fun(and better for me) than my current PT for bad knees/shoulders is.

and M4d, been a while bro.:hug:...:pm:
I've never heard of those. Do report back what you think about them if you try them.

Check this link right here, if you're interested in Yoga Nidra tracks. They offer a multitude of recordings in many different languages and settings. Enjoy!
I just got into Yoga Nidra myself. :smile:
