Hold Onto The Feelings—For A Bit

by AnxietyBuddha on July 27, 2008

Another Sunday morning and another “feeling” going on. There has a been a cycle of these “feelings” happening for about a month now. The way I visualize it is as a sine wave. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday have a these “feelings” in mornings. By the time the afternoon rolls around I don’t feel it anymore. The rest of the week, Wednesday through Saturday typically don’t have this “feeling.”

This “feeling” tends to manifest itself in a sense of dread or doom. Both of those are very common sensations for people who experience anxiety and panic regularly. Knowing what I know about living with anxiety and panic for the past 10 years tells me to look at what thoughts, feelings, or sensations could be contributing to the situation. Today the “feeling” was concentrated in the upper chest. It was a ball of dense weight.

I took some time to focus on it—meditate on it. Interesting that when you take just five minutes to focus on the feeling and sensation that the energy you use helps dissipate the feeling. I have done this before and sometimes it may take 10 minutes, but the results work for me.

Anyone have a similar experience?

What techniques work for you?
