Best way to get rid of anxiousness

[xise]

Anyone can temporarily raise their vibration through meditation, however this does nothing at all to balance what's still being ignored.

Hmm.. but by continually pursuing a more balanced state, your normal state will (over time) become successively more balanced.

And you can definitely apply some meditation techniques to situations outside of meditation to help temporarily balance your energy and give yourself the potential to see the situation differently.

I think the common advice of "counting to ten and breathing deeply" when you get angry is more a meditation technique for dealing with anger than it is a suppression technique. Little tidbits like this can be implemented outside of meditation.

But of course meditation only gives the potential of alternative perspectives...just because you meditate a ton doesn't mean you automatically will become more balanced. There are many, many acquaintances I know who practice a system of heavy meditation (1.5+ hours a day) that is light on balancing ideas and they have made very, very slow progress - think 15-20 years to make similar progress to one who reads and actively implements the Law of One balancing techniques within 1-2 years.

As Ra states, meditation/contemplation/prayer is the foundation, but the foundation doesn't do much of anything unless you attempt to consciously build upon it by trying to balance yourself and your beliefs in day to day life.
