Best way to get rid of anxiousness

although not sure if the root chakra needs balancing.

google says it does:

I can't normally feel my root or 2nd chakras. So kind of hard to balance them, although not sure if the root chakra needs balancing.

I couldn't feel my 2nd chakra at all when it was basically completely blocked. It took a ton of belief-work and some meditation to feel it.

Given that we're both energy sensitive in general, if my experience applies to yours, that would suggest that your 1st and 2nd are closed because of your beliefs.

You also have said in the past more than once you don't really want to be on Earth which would suggest your 1st chakra might be weak due to that belief.

Your posts have suggested that to me that you think its unacceptable for you to feel to feel defiant/not wanting to help your mother/or for you personally to be negatively polarizing/or for you not to graduate/worry about your level of polarization, which all suggest self-judgment toward the self rather than unconditional acceptance of who you are, what you feel, where you are, what you desire, and what you experience. This would suggest that your 2nd chakra might be weak due to these beliefs.

But only you can know these things for sure, by exploring them deeply yourself.

You're right about that. I've since become more accepting of who I am. I did a positive deed today which made me feel good. I don't usually get that many opportunities. Typically I'm working to heal the planet through meditation, sending love/light to where it's needed most. I am intrigued by graduation, but I no longer worry about it. And for now, at least, I'm happy to be here. I am however reading accounts of Near Death Experiences, and ordered a book on the subject, because I'm endlessly curious about what the afterlife is like.

If it makes me healther.. obviously it will be visible from the outside. How is that ridiculous?

Because it's not true. You grabbed a correlation and just assumed it was the causative link. textbook magical thinking.

Shall I also quote an irrelevant piece of literature? That quote has very, very little to do with your claims of meditation specifically making you feel and look healthier, lrn2logic.
maybe I should sigh and be condescending while not actually having any ground to stand on, that will show you lol

to be fair i think aureus has a point. often imbalances will manifest as physical distortions if ignored for too long, so i can imagine that in resolving these imbalances you might notice an improvement in health. this ties in closely with healing whereby the energy body and the energy centers are offered a less distorted configuration during healing and this is translated into a physical improvement in health. there might also be an element of conscious programming of catalyst involved in adept like meditations that isn't present in non-adept meditations. Consciously programming for health through will and faith (indigo ray stuff) could achieve similar results to the kind of programming negative entities do such that they "burst with the physical complex distortion you call health" even though they are incredibly unbalanced and blocked in their energy centers. which is to say you may not necessarily be more balanced but you can be healthier through such meditation...though i feel like that just contradicts my first point lol. maybe the difference is in the first example, an entity is not being conscious of their imbalances and in not choosing to exercise their will, they are made subject to physical distortions of their imbalances. in the latter scenario an entity may know they are imbalanced but through the use of will can choose the catalyst they experience, which i suppose is just like pre-incarnative programming of catalyst.

I could easily see some kind of mental balancing affecting physical health, but you'd kinda already have to be in rather poor health to begin with in order to notice a physical difference. People can treat their bodies poorly which will affect appearance: bad diet, bad hygene, poor sleep quality, lack of exercise, prolonged stress, bad posture, and that's an attitude/mental health issue which meditation can help address.

[Fang]

Yeah, the general attitude towards life and consequent behaviour that usually accompanies meditation would be much more of a reasonable thing to say improves health if one was already quite unhealthy but meditation alone is a bit more of a stretch.

Balance, as shown by the violet ray has much more to do with acceptance and integration than meditation, you could be of harvestable balance and have never meditated in your life.

When you are trying to meditate but find it hard to enter the state you desire try turning your attention to letting go and accepting all thoughts and emotions you experience.

Let it all go...don't think about what you should or should be doing, just 'sit back' and release.

A symbol that may be of use is Nature...take a walk to ease your mind and let go...see the the built up tension leaving your body through your feet and being transmuted by the Earth...

hopefully this helps..

yeah "getting rid of" is tantamount to "overcoming". Ra said "The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away."

[AnthroHeart]

I like that we can experience all our desires. And in higher density, I wonder if some of my desires will be the same. I get a lot of sexual desires. I wonder if those are fulfilled in higher density, or if they just disappear when we cross over into time/space. Wait, I've had sexual dreams, so I don't think so. It seems that sexuality is an insatiable appetite.

[zenmaster]

It's a bias of the body.

[reeay]

I agree with Fang - meditation alone will not do the whole range of things that other 'tools' can do. That's why people like Wilber suggest meditation, shadow work (psychological work), and physical exercise (he does lifting weights... mr. super buff). That said, psychological and other studies have shown meditation to improve physical and mental health.

If you take Mattieu Ricard for example, when he meditates on compassion his brain is essentially inhibiting the portion of brain that analyzes and makes judgment. That means all that chatter in the mind is muted so he can observe something in a more focused and quieted state of mind. Kind of doing the opposite of what Krishnamurti talked about like 'analysis paralysis'.

Stressors do arise thru analysis or over-analysis of something, so if stress triggers many of our organic problems (like ill health), it would make sense that meditation could help us to manage stress and therefore eliminate or minimize chances that stress could trigger other issues with physical body.

Anxiety can be resolved by enduring the pain and its associated catalyst until the catalyst is found, accepted and integrated into the mind/body/spirit complex. This can take much time. Using discipline and the will to resolve anxiety is unrecommended, by me personally, as it can cause clinging to the associated catalyst as the mind/body/spirit attempts to remove what will inevitably have to be integrated as experience in the mind.

Discipline must be met with the proper amount of humility and acceptance of distortion as a lack of acceptance will cause a rejection of the very catalyst that is desired to be resolved. It is highly unfounded, by me personally, that discipline alone can resolve distortions.

Please use your discretion as my advice is only my own as a small portion of the creator.

I would simply like to say that I agree with this statement and that I have experienced personally an excess of discipline in dealing with some catalyst in the past. Until recently, I thought the best way to deal with some catalysts, including some fears, pains and anxieties, was to positively will myself to move past them and embrace a state of peace. I genuinely believed I was healing myself, and perhaps I did in some limited capacity, but on many occasions I willed myself to deny the experiencing of some painful emotions by skipping right to the end; a feeling of peace which felt true but which, ultimately, would not be stable in the long run. It seemed to work so well that it might have taken several years or perhaps even decades until enough unresolved emotions would pile up so high I would be forced to look back and realize that I had been denying part of myself all this time. Thankfully, with some help (and much cringing on my part, ha!) I was made aware of this distortion.

When one uses will/discipline to heal distortions, they must beware as there is only a thin line between genuine healing and repression. Some emotions and states of being are so painful one may be tempted to find a quick solution to end their suffering. In an attempt to deal with an issue so willfully, they may very well resort to self-control and discipline, even through meditation, a practice which counter-productively leads to the repression of the issue, turning it into something which can be more easily compartmentalized and stashed away. If one is good enough at this, they may even believe the issue is solved and gone for good. Regrettably, this state is no less than a form of self-denial.

I have found that the best way to "get rid" of anxieties, negative emotions and other pains of the sort is simply to feel them, accept them and carry the hope/faith in my heart that they will heal. True acceptance of oneself, including our emotions and desires is a potent balm which heals; it is self-healing, genuine love for the self.

I hope the sharing of my experience will inspire others who have had the same distortions to look within themselves and accept more of their being. It is not always an easy feat but when done right, in a loving and patient manner, it enables one to grow and carry more love for themselves within them and, as a result, more love for others as well.

Fully agree, people concentrate on a narrow form of discipline which doesn't include or accept the opposite or no discipline.

Funniest posts I've read in awhile :p

When I'm in a catalystic situation, I usually take a deep breath and bring myself to mind that I'm facing catalyst. I also calm me down if it is a heavier situation and I try to observe myself as conscious as possible. After the situation, I go through the whole experience trying to find out what caused the emotional response. I ask myself questions like "what thoughts were running through your head in this situation?" In this way, I get to know myself better and better through experience of each situation. It also helps to become more detached of the catalyst and to see it in a more objective way. Especially the reflecting part is very important. Take just a half hour every day to reflect upon your thoughts and actions, this can help a lot.

One powerful way to accept certain parts of the self is conversation with otherselves. Most often, we don't consider certain actions and thoughts as possibilities because they seem to be "bad." Otherselves can broaden one's horizon in this regard. An example could be a man who detests his parents, but surpresses this thought, thus has not integrated this aspect of the self. In a conversation, he can be made aware of the possibility that such thoughts exist and that there is nothing bad in these feelings. This can then lead to acceptance of this aspect of the self.
