View Full Version : Controlling anxiety left over from pre awakening

I am having a great deal of trouble controlling my anxiety issues. I have delt with these issues for most of my life, and now they seem to be hindering my development. I always have an underlying feeling of anxiety, which leads to fearful thoughts, these thoughts then lead to unwanted entities arriving. I have tried many things to keep my mind focused, like singing along to music, watching funny shows, reading good books etc. Nothing seems to work. I do have the option of medication, but being on medication seems to separate me from spirit. Does anyone have any insight? Im sure there are some of you who have had anxiety disorders in the past, or still have them. Thank you

This idea of awakening means different things to all of us. But suddenly "seeing the light" doesn't mean that you're instantly going to change and divorce yourself from your past, the roots of many of our/your problems. These things take work and time. You have to develop/set up a series of practices that helps you 1) find out who and what you are (which will take a very long time to get to your personal truth - your real Self) and 2) to distance your past in view of your new light.
Gradually you take on a more spiritual mantle. You know you have to live within "the system of things" - politics, commerce, if you want to survive at all but that doesn't mean you need follow it slavishly or do what the High Priesthood of the new religion "consumerism" demands.
Once you realise that acquisition is not a route to happiness, that most of it arises from brainwashing, you find ways to prioritise what you really need. You become calmer.
Then, people. You may still rely on them - but you stop unreasonably expecting of them. You expect nothing from people you meet socially while presenting yourself as honestly as you can. Every time you catch yourself wishing a person would be or do what YOU want, you pause to think. Don't expect even to be liked all the time. People react to us differently just as we do to different people. Coming to terms with this often assuages anxiety at least a little. Obviously if you like mixing with people you don't want to be in the background the whole time, so you develop a kind of energy bubble that sooner or later will allow your attractive qualities to emerge.
Then the media. You awaken to what a con the media actually are. You become more selective, judicious....
Etc.
Singing and dancing are wonderful for the spirit - music is, generally.
It all takes time but worry less about focus that noticing, becoming aware, questioning what goes on around you - thus you free yourself from social conditioning.

Thank you for your reply. I have been absorbing this new information at a pace that I find comfortable. I take my time and learn as much as I can from every new experience before moving on to the next step. I'm not in a rush to get where I want to be.
Maybe awakening is not the correct term for what i've went through. I've encountered quite a bit of skepticism when I post about it. What would you call the following experience if awakening is not appropriate? Before my Mother passed I was an atheist. Afterward, I felt as though I was pulled into a new existence as I began connecting with spirit. First sensing energy, then being able to perceive it with my physical eyes, Then sensing spirit and perceiving it as well. There have also been visions of future events and most recently being able to hear spirit, clairaudience as some call it. This has all occurred within a span of 6 months and I have been trying to slow the pace by not meditating as often. Im not sure if thats the right route, but it seems meditation drastically amplifies everything. I feels as if Ive been thrown into a new reality and its very taxing mentally. I am trying to process everything as best I can.

Continued therapy over time will help you understand your anxiety, that results from your growing up experiences. Therapy does not need to include being on medications. Take the risk and dedicate yourself to your own healing. Here is a forum that may be more suited for this kind of post:

There are more people in this forum that feel the way you do, thus you can find much help here.

I agree that they are an excellent source of info for conventional treatment. As I have mentioned a few times now, I have been attending this type of therapy for anxiety for many years and I'm looking to augment/add some spiritual elements to it. I am hoping to learn skills from others who have had similar issues during their spiritual development. Unfortunately PC isn't as spiritually minded as SF and I feel I would learn the skills I seek here.

Brother when I finally got the signed, sealed and delivered constant connection to whatever it might be that gives out the worthy advice quite suddenly no matter what my question was the answer was always it'll be fine.
My Mum just asked about my brother and his hands which are in quite a bad way and it's essentially his inability to grasp things... which, of course, I can't tell him 'cause I just don't have the stuff he'd trust as viably verifiable, but to Mum I answered that he get's all irritable 'cause he's got lot's of work and it kind of gets all spiny so it then kinda slows down and then there's not enough work so he stays irritable for a bit but eventually settles in and accepts thing and this brings more work in and he's happy for a bit 'til even more comes in then the cycle starts all over again. Poor fellow, he really has no idea that all his stuff is the result of his own magic going out in front and setting the stage just like he doesn't know he's asking.
Personally I don't bother spirit hardly at all anymore, I got the message... everything's goin' to be fine... so it is.
