Connecting with universal energy (God) is the most important factor when recovering from serious anxiety problems. Connecting with the source of energy is the same as connecting with pure love. We were all born as perfect babies with all of the perfect traits to accomplish our goals here in our flesh form.

In the wilderness, in a field, in a lake, in a river, on a mountain top, holding a pup, holding a baby, holding a kitten. What is better than that? (I guess you could be holding a baby that is holding a pup, that is holding a kitten, while you step out of the forest into a canoe to take down a river, that runs to a prairie, which runs into a lake).

When you find yourself in panics and/or stress it’s important to get away from the city and back into the bosom of nature.

You may be saying, “Aw, not this crap again – is this guy some kind of burnt out hippie …… ewwwwhhh…. hippies”

But think about it for a minute. Has a forest or field ever caused you stress? When you see a lake, a river, or an ocean does it stress you out? Ever looked at a bouquet of flowers and felt a tightness in your chest or abdomen? Not likely.

Stress is born in the minds of developing humans as they are taught what their parents were taught by their parents who took marching orders from their parents. Stress is passed down the gene pool. Without question someone and something in your life taught you that worrying and stressing is the way to live your life.

They taught you this everyday of your life and they did it by example and they did is unconsciously. Even if you rebelled against their negativity and constant worrying, you drank the Koolaid my friend. You have to distance yourself from your negative teachers and embrace positive teachers. Even if they’ve been dead for over 5000 years.

This doesn’t mean making negative people as enemies. Quite the opposite. You need to send all people a silent blessing of love and compassion. This is key. In this universe you think negatively of others it all comes back to poison your own mind, and tarnish your natural connection with love and universal energy.

This is why we’re seeing meditation practices that focus on thinking thoughts of compassion for others. When we exude and think of all others with love, you will naturally recognize the love others are sending to you. This is when you are truly in sync with universal energy, AKA love, AKA God. In this state you cannot be in a state of fear and anxiety.

Some anxiety sufferers will call this bunk. Doctors will tell you that your depression, agoraphobia, or panic attacks are from having a chemical imbalance and they will prescribe medication. This may be a quick way find some relief from your anxiety disorder, and it may be what gives you the chance to study some of the ideas I’ve mentioned here. If so, fine, nut if you truly change the way you look at your life, your life will change. It’s your choice which way you want your emotional compass to swing.

Many anxiety suffers still blame the anti-depressants for stress they’re having 3 years after the medication is long gone out of their system. What the sufferer needs to do is stay on their medication until they learn to stop taking their brain drivel so seriously, and just start being. Just be. be quiet and just be. Once the sufferer has learned enough about how to keep their fear in balance, only then they should ween off their anti-depressants.

If you’ve never started and SSRI or anti-anxiety medication, try and make it though your temporary anxiety by changing the way you look at things.
