How to cope with anxiety

“The whole secret of existence lies in getting rid of fears. Do not be afraid of what will happen to you, your future will not change because of this, but your present will become peaceful.” Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)

Are you worried about yourself, your life, or your loved ones? How **justified are these anxieties**?

When you worry about a serious matter and are able to pull yourself together in time, your mental state is not in danger.

But if your worries are permanent, **restless thoughts** buzz in your head like a swarm of wasps, it “paralyzes” you, **robbing you of peace**.

In this state, you cannot control your emotions to make the **right decision**. And you don’t know how to stop the growing agitation.

In these moments, it feels like the ground is slipping from under your feet. You feel helpless, you tell yourself not to think about the bad. But it doesn’t help.

I am convinced that any problem **can be dealt with**. There is always a resource to solve it.

And if you are feeling confusion and anxiety right now, this material will be useful for you.

Let’s figure out what lies behind anxiety and how to eliminate it.

Why anxiety arises

**Awareness of the problem** is half the solution. Sigmund Freud spoke about this.

Where do anxieties and restless thoughts come from? By learning the nature of their occurrence, it will become easier for you to cope with them.

Let’s determine **the reasons why anxiety appears:**

1. The root chakra is unbalanced

The **root chakra** is responsible for safety in the material world.

If you are plagued by fears, anxiety, worry about yourself and your loved ones, then your first energy center is not in order.

Muladhara is also the **center of connection with the family line**. Most family and ancestral programs are passed down to us by inheritance.

And from here comes the second reason for the emergence of anxiety.

2. Family or ancestral programs

If people in your family worried and fretted over everything, then you have probably **unconsciously** adopted this behavior as a basis. Worrying is natural for you.

It is important to realize this and, in moments of another such “attack,” ask yourself: “Are these my feelings?”

Draw a **clear distinction** between your own thoughts and what you are used to hearing in your family. Maybe you are reacting out of habit?

3. Fear of repeating past experience

If a **tragic event** happened in your life (or in the life of your friends/relatives) in the past, your mind will periodically throw up anxious “reminders.”

It is constantly afraid of something, reminding you with worry that if you go there or do this, something terrible will happen.

This is one of its functions — to protect you.

If you continue to take on all the misfortunes that have happened to anyone, then paranoia is guaranteed.

4. The desire to be “good”

One of the reasons for worrying about loved ones lies in the need to be a “good” person.

As a rule, this concerns women. We have been taught since childhood to be “good girls.”

A good mother must worry about her children, a good wife about her husband, a good daughter about her elderly parents.

Deep in the subconscious, there is a belief that if you don’t show worry, if you don’t react with anxiety to their problems, then what kind of mother, wife, or daughter are you?

Think about whether your loved ones need your anxiety.

If you love them, maybe it would be better to show love in some other way? For example, learn to trust them.

Learn how to get rid of the need to be good from the article “The Good Girl” or “The Woman Who Creates.”

5. Old emotions are surfacing

After 2012, a period of the planet’s transition from the 3rd dimension to the 5th began.

The Earth is freeing itself from heavy energies, and we are freeing ourselves from old patterns of reaction.

If you have long found the cause of your worry and eliminated it, but panic attacks continue, then old unreleased emotions are coming to the surface.

We are multidimensional beings. Our consciousness exists in all times simultaneously.

Fears and anxieties that arose in past incarnations are leaving us in this life. Accept them and allow them to leave you.

What is the benefit and harm of worry

“If there is a remedy, then you have nothing to worry about.
You just need to take it.
If there is no remedy, then why worry?
Worry only aggravates suffering.”
Dalai Lama XIV

Fear at the level of the survival instinct plays an important role in a person’s life. It is indispensable in moments of real danger.

But if there is no danger, a state of worry literally poisons life.

Inner balance and harmony are disrupted. A lot of energy is spent on anxiety, which depletes the strategic reserves of your life force.

By worrying about everything, you are communicating to the Universe your distrust of the life process.

In this way, you lose the support of Higher powers and are left alone with your fears.

How to distinguish a premonition from worry

If a worrying thought creeps into your head, you start to develop it, and everything inside you is already seething with anxiety, then this is not a premonition, it is a panic attack.

Anxious thoughts become harbingers of trouble only if you “think” them for a long time and even invest emotions in them.

A bad premonition usually comes true in the near future. Worry will not manifest in life as quickly as a premonition.

A premonition is knowledge. You don’t chew over or ruminate on the same thought in a circle in your head.

You simply know that a certain event will happen. That’s all.

How to cope with worry and panic attacks

Now you know the causes of worry and have probably realized the harm that anxiety causes.

And if you have a desire to eliminate this state, use the methods given below:

1. Balance your root chakra

If you naturally have a weak first energy center, regularly monitor its condition.

• Use grounding practices.
• Balance your chakras with the introductory course “Chakra Balancing”.

Perhaps you will stop there, and your anxiety will dissolve.

Personally, I am a proponent of attacking on all fronts and always use several methods simultaneously to completely eliminate the problem.

If you want to learn how your energy system works, sign up for the course “7 Keys of Mindfulness 2.0”.

2. Be Mindful

Mindfulness keeps you in the present moment. You don’t escape into the past or the future, which are sources of fears and anxieties.

Full acceptance that everyone has free will and choice, even to leave life, reduces the number of panic attacks.

This is difficult to realize, but living in the current moment helps with this. No one belongs to you, and you belong to no one.

We are here playing a game called “life”. And we cannot truly lose loved ones. On a soul level, we are always connected.

Thank the Universe for what you have, and enjoy life.

If you truly want to help your loved ones, maintain balance and confidence. Protect yourself and your children with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.

3. Shift Your Focus to the Pleasant

“— Have you never tried thinking in another language in moments of anxiety? — Henry interrupted me.
— What?
— It helps you keep yourself in check, it doesn’t let your thoughts run wild.”
Donna Tartt “The Secret History”

Learn to distract your mind from anxious thoughts. Don’t let emotions take over your consciousness.

As soon as the first anxious thought flashes, shift your focus to something pleasant, to something that brings you joy.

Do something. When you are inactive, you are more susceptible to anxiety.

Choose some active activity that will completely absorb your attention:

• Play hide and seek with a child.
• Go for a run around the house.

Allow yourself to be distracted and not worry about the fact that you will stop worrying for a period of time.

4. Breathe Out Anxiety

Focus on physical sensations and determine in which part of your body the anxiety is located.

Breathe deeply through that area.

• On the inhale, imagine this part of the body filling with harmonizing healing energy.
• On the exhale, anxious thoughts leave the body beyond the aura and transform into light.

Protect yourself with powerful practices from Archangel Michael.

5. Observe Your Thoughts

“…start writing down your thoughts — everything that comes into your head. Don’t change them, because you don’t need to show this piece of paper to anyone! Just write them down for 10 minutes, if you look at them, these are your thoughts, you will think it is the creativity of a madman…”
Osho “The Orange Book”

When anxious thoughts arise, don’t push them away—observe them. Don’t resist, as that will only increase the anxiety.

Imagine them as clouds drifting across the sky. Simply observe, without judging.

Learn how to fill yourself with a sense of security from within during the group meditation “My Safety.”

6. Replace anxious thoughts with positive affirmations

You create your own reality. What you choose to think is what will happen.

Rewrite your anxious thoughts into positive ones. And as soon as a negative thought appears, replace it.

Are you familiar with the saying — “life is like a zebra, sometimes a white stripe, sometimes a black one”?
Or this one — “he who laughs a lot will cry a lot”?

This leads to the belief that good fortune will inevitably be followed by a string of troubles. It’s better to give up blessings than to pay for them later.

Rewrite these beliefs into positive and inspiring ones. Then watch how your life changes.

• Life is like a rainbow. Each day greets me with new shades.
• He who laughs a lot is happy.

7. Assess the benefit of your worry for your loved ones

Think about it—how can your worry actually help your children or loved ones? It can’t.

You are wasting energy that you could use to restore your own resources or to truly care for them.

The good news is that worry alone won’t change their destiny.

Your fears most likely won’t come true. Because your loved ones came here with their own life tasks.

But creating obstacles on their path and ruining their mood with anxious thoughts is entirely possible. Is that what you want?

Besides, you exhaust yourself, which worsens your well-being and can eventually lead to various illnesses: hypertension, heart disease, stomach ulcers.

If you truly love your children, husbands, or parents, replace your worries with pleasant memories of them.

And in a difficult moment, they will feel your message of love and care.

This also applies to yourself. Remember yourself in an elevated creative state, immerse yourself in that feeling, and it will push out the anxiety.

8. “Where I am, there is a place of power”

During a support webinar on May 19, 2016, for clients of the Keys of Mastery Training Center, Alena Starovoitova suggested an unusual method to feel safe and protect your loved ones.

When you give in to worry, you destroy yourself from within. You crave help, but you deny it to yourself.

In such moments, the connection with your spirit is lost. And in that connection lies your true strength. Don’t forget that.
