Have you used this with any success?

I've heard before that there is so much anxiety and paranoia in occult circles because not enough people start with the heart chakra - I've only heard that once...interesting to hear it here.

I can only assume that if you know the LBRP it would help, unless you're really dealing with an onslaught from you own subconscious.

I think having a strong capacity to concentrate or focus would help also. When it comes to anxiety it seems its sort of like licking a wound that won't heal...you feel OK so you mind jumps back to see if the anxiety is really gone, but in doing so you bring it right back. If you could just forget about it and keep focused on other things by sincerely staying in the present moment it would probably just fall away.

I think the idea that SalviaShroomer brought up is in connection with this idea of focusing on your experiences, which are ultimately manifestations of your mind. When you focus on them you give them power. This is similar to a technique of Tibetan sleep yoga where you recognize during your waking state that everything is a dream - it will rise and fall as karmic traces are activated. This leads to a smoother life experience as you don't get caught up in everything so easily.

BoulderBoomer - DEFINITELY a good idea on the sticky! Anxiety can be one of the scariest experiences a person can encounter. We're talking about extreme fluctuations in mental states here, which can be just a little disconcerting to some people.

Zazen

Check it out, my friend.

I have been practicing zazen for nigh on twenty years.
If you can get into it, it will help make your psychedelic experience very controllable.

It is one thing to do it during the trip itself, but you really got to put the time in stone cold sober.

Well worth it.

Grasp the concept of meditation.

It's about letting go.
It's about embracing the present moment, the most important moment.
It's about expression of energy and being.
It's about not getting anywhere, because you've already arrived.
It's about non-grasping and non-attachment.
It's about getting back to the naked experience of reality.

Meditation is not something you sit and do for 10 minutes a day in some Lotus posture. It's a way of BEING. Once you understand that it's a lifestyle and not some exercise like yoga or pilates will you be affected by it and it will infect you and become prevalent in all aspects of your life.



Understand it. Live it.

What exactly does this mean? A lot of people have said that to 'go further/deeper/etc', you need to have a still, empty mind. But what exactly is meant by going further? Isn't the point of meditation basically not thinking at all?

I'm rather confused.

I have some twenty five years meditating experience. Here is what you should do. You should look up and recite Green Tara mantra.

Mantra recitation trains in all aspects of yoga, from sitting to breath and restraint of senses, it also supplies a dharana or meditation focus. Which produces samadhi after focus occurs - meditational success.

Good thing about a deity as a dharana is it's an interesting focus for the mind to develop a friendship with. Green Tara is also Tara, a deity who has been practiced upon for hindreds or maybe thousands of years.

Tara means one who carries one across existance. Sitara means star. Green Tara mantra is -Om Tare Tutare Ture Soha-

Get a picture of her from the web or something and print it. Just let the mind reflect the picture back at it and recite the mantra out loud. Keep a journal and do 150,000 repetitions. 1 mala is one hundred reps.

Green Tara mantra also removes obstacles to better karma.

indeed. this has brought about much insight about why I feel the way I feel, especially on very mild psychedelics such as weed. it as if the pot is just enough to excite the spirit and thought processes but not enough compared to LSD or shrooms to let it free.

I swear I am better in social environments under the influence of LSD or shrooms or both rather than marijuana.

you have to calm all the internal struggles you have, which should not be struggles to begin with.

peace

I bought a book called "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind" a few years ago when I was having a lot of problems with anxiety. I've since read it 5 times.  Its a really great book and pretty much explains that all fears and problems come from within (yourself) I would recommend it to anyone and everyone..even those who are not stressed.  Its a great read! :thumbup:

A lot of people have recommend that I try meditation in an effort to reduce anxiety and my fear of going insane or "over the edge", however, I have no idea where to begin. What is the best way for a beginner to start meditation? Can anyone suggest some simple exercises to get me started? Any help would be appreciated.

I would rather hear some proven information first hand from you lot, rather than a possibly dodgy website.

Cheers.




what triggers your anxiety if i may ask?

for me, the only way to overcome anxiety is to stop doing the things that bring it.

anxiety is in a way nervous energy for me. it comes when there is a mental block, and i know what triggers this mental block. this trigger is something i'm stuck with now for the moment, unfortunately.

i think it is good good sign (and step) to experience nervous energy, because it can be reversed or transformed into blissful states. just need to figure out how to reverse it and clear blockages. meditation may not be the answer in some cases.

I have fallen in love with meditating recently. And from what I understand, it could really help with it, and a lot of other things in your life. You'll feel a lot calmer and focused while doing anything, I highly recommend it to anyone, anxiety or not.

If you go to project-meditation.com, they have a free beginner course to download that guides you through meditation, and they have a forum too, its a pretty good setup, the guy wants you to buy his expensive shit after you get the free stuff though. But check it out, it got me started and I feel a lot better all the time now.
