Anxiety and the meditative state are, to put it simply, impossible to experience at the same time. Who is it that is anxious, when that anxious person no longer exists?
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 12y agoIn my experience meditation effectively reduces panic, but I'm still aware of panic. It's like holding a hot coal.
- someone903209 12y agoThe hot coal is in your throat, not in your hand. Do you try to swallow it, or try to spit it up?
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 12y agoSwallow. "try to spit" sounds like trying escape, and I think it would intensify the anxiety. But spitting does involve letting go. Hmmm maybe I'll try it. Now what would make me anxious.
