Meditation For Anxiety

@annedodrill44, good evening. You asked what is a body scan. The most common use is as part of a meditation practice called mindfulness. It means that you, through a leader guided experience or a recording, mentally scan your body with awareness, looking and listening for sensations that describe how your body parts are feeling and working. The purpose is for you to be aware of what is going on in your body. Should anything be aroused that may need attention, you may want to watch it and see if it re-occurs. Here is a link for this practice. Have a restful sleep. Chris

Well described. Back when I was a regular.. this 30 minute meditation once daily helped me tremendously.

Truth be told I don’t think the Effexor has ever worked. And now I’m stuck with a gradual taper off of something that already does not work.. lotsa little ups and down and I find myself having to take life hour by hour... and invoking my strategies more often than not..

Also Because of this feeling of disconnectedness and de realism I feel like my life is passing me by and I’m missing my kids growing up.(even thought I’m there every step and go out of my way to be involved.. just I’ll at ease, fragile to certain topics like any unfairness in the world poverty l, child abuse, these topics will cause an anxiety attack and then linger for days.. I hate being sensitive, I’m usually aloof more often than not🤪
