Panic attacks: try meditation

The diffusion of various spiritual techniques of oriental origin has meant that they are increasingly known and considered in all fields.

In fact, although a veil (or a blanket in some cases ...) of skepticism does not cease to envelop them, in many sectors it has been validated the effectiveness beyond any hesitation.

One of the most fertile areas of application is that of psychology in which yoga and meditation find a space full of potential: from depression to post traumatic stress to mindfulness, the field of exploration is broad and generous with fruits.

As a demonstration of the above, let us now see how meditation, in particular, can help us in the event of panic attacks : a life preserver that we can launch to ourselves at any time.

The benefits of meditation to deal with panic attacks

Meditation, whatever the style you choose, can make a decisive contribution to preventing or dealing with panic attacks because it helps to observe the mechanisms of our mind and, over time, allows us to recognize and manage them .

The vicious circle that from anxiety generates more anxiety until it bursts into panic is identified and, slowly, scratched.

Through meditation, relaxation takes more and more space and allows the physiological resources present in us to act or even to strengthen.

It is possible to use it either as a method of first aid when the panic begins to take hold or, especially at the beginning, as a daily training to practice in order to learn to let go and take root in the here and now .

Straight to start meditating against panic attacks

We do not enter into the merits of psychology because it is not our field, but we provide you with tips to progress successfully in the field of meditation so that it is a non-violent weapon with which to face panic:

There are really a lot of meditation techniques and with practice you will find the one that best suits your nature. At the beginning, we advise you to focus on guided meditations because they accompany you to this still little known territory. They are also available online and represent a vast universe where you will surely find something valid.
If you feel confident about yourself, you can venture into "solo" meditation, that is, without any guidance. We advise you to proceed in small steps, defining precisely time and place and trying to keep faith with the commitment with severity; it is impossible to deliver a technique that is valid for everyone, but none of them is not recommended or harmful, therefore, simply ... experiment!

Furthermore, before starting your practice, we advise you to do some yoga positions to dissolve the body, even a simple sun salutation, or, if this is not possible, at least some breathing technique : it will help you to enter the right mood practice, to find the right concentration and to distance yourself from the previous activities you were doing.

Meditation as support and support

Meditation is an economic technique and without side effects useful to manage some psychological problems.

However, this does not mean that it can replace experts in the field, doctors or psychologists, whom we invite you to contact without hesitation in the event of significant problems. In any path, meditation can only help you and stand by you like a trusted friend.
