How do you know when you are experiencing anxiety or panic attacks?  This is important.  You know from the body sensations right?  Racing heart, light headedness or dizziness.  Constricted throat, shaking legs.

What's happening?  Somewhere the mind is perceiving a threat and has gone into fight, flight or freeze (symphathetic nervous system response) and is pumping out adrenaline getting you ready to handle the threat.

Only, the threat is usually based on "what if's".  But the body doesn't know it.  Then, we get uncomfortable and FEAR the body sensations, which escalates them and now you are in what we call AN ATTACK OR EPISODE.

The antedote to this is in this video.  But coles notes version - go to the sensations.  Feel the sensations, welcome them.  Rather than fighting them as in quick sand and sinking deeper, we hop on a surf board and ride the wave until the wave peeters out.

Anxiety is all a form of energy.  In this case excess energy in one area and too little in another. Learn how to love into your body and get control of what's happening.
