The I of The Storm

Anxiety (aka panic attacks) is a state of mental and emotional unease that arises when we are faced with uncertainty or perceived danger. It is a natural response to stress or threat, and can manifest in the body as physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle tension. At its root, anxiety is a result of the ego’s need to control and predict the future. When we are unable to find a sense of security and stability in the present moment, we may become anxious about what may happen in the future. However, it is important to remember that anxiety is only a temporary state of mind, and that it is possible to find peace and calm even in the midst of uncertainty. By cultivating mindfulness and compassion, we can learn to let go of the ego’s need for control and instead find a sense of inner strength and resilience.

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one’s attention to the present moment, without judgment. It is about cultivating a sense of awareness and presence in each moment, and learning to let go of distractions and regrets from the past or worries about the future. By cultivating mindfulness, we can learn to find a sense of peace and clarity within ourselves, even in the midst of chaos or stress. This practice can help us to become more fully present with ourselves and with others, and to develop greater empathy and understanding. It is a way of bringing our attention back to the present moment, and finding a sense of calm and focus within ourselves. Ultimately, mindfulness is about learning to be fully present and aware in each moment, and to let go of the ego’s need to constantly be somewhere else. It is about finding peace and contentment in the present moment, and in the interconnectedness of all things.

There are many ways to practice mindfulness, and the best approach will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Here are a few simple suggestions to get you started:

Take a few deep breaths. Pay attention to the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves your body. Notice the rise and fall of the chest and belly.

Notice your surroundings. Take a moment to look around and really see what is in your environment. Notice the colors, shapes, and textures.

Pay attention to your body. Notice any sensations or feelings in your body, and try to describe them without judgment.

Notice your thoughts. Pay attention to any thoughts that arise in the mind, and try to observe them without getting caught up in them.

Practice non-judgment. Try to let go of any judgments or evaluations about yourself or your experiences, and simply observe with an open and curious mind.

Remember, mindfulness is a practice, and it takes time and patience to develop. It’s okay if your mind wanders or if you have a hard time focusing at first. Just gently bring your attention back to the present moment, and continue to practice. Over time, you will find that mindfulness becomes easier and more natural.

Before you begin – you must acknowledge that you are the problem to the solution, that from where you perceive from must become aware that it can change its point of reference. True change will happen when you no longer recognise the character you once played and that the idea of what you believe your self to be depends from where you choose to perceive from.

This practice takes time, if you truly wish to change, commit to letting go of the past, acknowledge and realise that worrying about what is yet or not yet to come is futile.

The answer, the solution, the change you seek, will be found when you look within and find out what you truly are.

May your journey of self awareness, self realisation and awakening be met with liberation.
