And by the way, I am already thanking you beforehand for your answers and I am happy I found this site.

Blessed be.

I think you would benefit from regarding yourself and working inward. It might be a very hard task and big to grasp, and no "effects" are likely to be seen anytime soon. It takes a long time, and best is not to stress it. But by letting go, you receive results - by trying to receive results you end up getting none.

Something that you could try;
When you play around in the present, feeling whatever there is to feel, and hearing whatever there is to hear and while the breath is going in and out with your hands in your lap or on your knees.

Whenever you reach that place where you feel fully aware, where even the slightest sound is there but not objectified, when you feel exactly how your body is - try to press your thumbs together or pressing one thumb into the palm of the other (whatever feels most comfortable) you create a linkage between that action and that state of consciousness.

And keep doing that every time you get to that point of total presence. Eventually you might be able to just do that action that you've chosen in order to get into that state again. The mind stores the linkage in the subconscious.

This technique is used by a lot of sportsmen etc. in order to tune in for what they are about to go through and to get a set of mind before a competition and I bet that you could use it as well, I think you should try it.

This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing thing. Not only me will benefit from this.

In a short answer...Yes! Meditation can help in so many ways at each level of development that if there is anything worth doing it is clearing your mind. As a fellow anxiety/depression sufferer I have found no medication that can match the power of a strong, balanced mind. The ability to perceive things as they are, not as they appear, is an invaluable tool in overcoming ones struggles. Keep at it, as with everything it takes awhile to get started and even longer to master. Good luck and don't give up

In some difficult situation Meditation is very helpful. And i think, it is a most popular technique for working with the mind. Meditation will turn down the volume of thoughts in your mind. Very simple meditation is like resting. When you work your body hard you need to take a break.

You have put the writer in a difficult situation.

When you go to the doctor, you go to the doctor because you have some form of illness and the doctor prescribes you the medicine. Your problem is, that you are imagining that your back is hurting you and that you are in deep pain, but no doctor can help you because there is no pain - it is only your imagination.

We tend to be very credible creatures, question everything. Before you try and find medicine for your illness first ask yourself "who is it that is experiencing the anxiety?", "who is it that has had painful childhood experiences", keep questioning everything, every answer question it, every response question.

First, find WHO is experiencing the illness, then come ask for help.

Really mediation is very good technique to control mind and building self confidence. But we should be clear about object of meditation and destination. Radhanath Swami | Celibate monks in Radhanath Swami's Radhagopinath Ashram
