#buddhism #anxiety #socialanxiety
I was under treatment for depression with psychotherapy and medications in he 1980's. I used jogging as a form of meditation and also discovered Buddhism. I had to quit running because of bad knees. I stopped all medications in 1991. I am still a Buddhist. At age 77, having spent 15 years in SE Asia as a medical volunteer in a predominately Buddhist country I'm now fully retired. I feel better than ever.
How nice to hear that. I hope it naver changes. Take care.
Thank you for this wonderful comment Phillip!
Very inspiring sir wish to live as healthy as you at your age
Very inspirational comment 🙏🏻
What happens when you die, Phillip?
"Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain" - Emerson
fear is never overcome never
@@jameshumphrey9939 yes it can be
@@jameshumphrey9939 fear is nothing but lack of perception.
What you know you don't fear. What you don't know instead of knowing the thing you start fearing...know more understand more
And in quite a lot of those cases death will be certain too. All is relative.
@@TimMer1981 you're thinking in terms of loss think in a way that you'll gain a lot after learning. You'll know yourself which is more important
*Fighting anxiety is accepting yourself the way you are.*
defenseless against a saber tooth tiger
Obviously knowing that you can improve every aspect of your life every day
@@mateoflorezosorno3718 Thats what I've been noticing about myself little by little (but its still hard)
@@mateoflorezosorno3718 Thats one way to put it
@@jameshumphrey9939 anxiety is when the stress is taking a long time. The stress from a tiger will end as soon as the threat is no more. But anxiety, stress will linger.
I have 'suffered' from anxiety for almost 4 years now and meditation and acceptance had a lot to do in reducing it.
I meditate 20 min. every morning starting with body scan (focusing on each body part from head to toe and 'feeling' relaxed with every outbreath by releasing the tension aka body scan) and then focusing on the breath, keeping a count upto 10 (The mind drifts and I simply acknowledge it without being agitated by it and bring my focus back on breath).
I don't think meditation reduces the anxiety just by itself. I see it as a practice. I learn what really feels like a relaxed state when i meditate and if during the day (and especially when going to bed) I feel anxious then first I accept it ('I am feeling anxious' or 'my body is shaking involuntarily', just simply noticing it and nothing else) and 'being with it' (in a funny way you just start enjoying the body shaking, idk) and just take a deep breath, exhale while trying to bring the same feeling of relaxation that you experienced during meditation.
I don't know if it makes sense to you when you read this but this really works for me.
Biggest change for me has been acceptance of myself regardless of what the society wants ME to be. They don't have any right to dictate that, only I have it. So now I accept myself for who I am instead of constantly trying to meet society standards.
@@DS-Pakaemon I get where you are coming from. But for me society/culture is something that keeps people sane to a certain degree. For e.g. if my sleeping habits and my eating habits are aligned with those around me I feel less stressed because I don't have to figure out these things by myself. The questions of the sort 'what should I do when...' are answered already for us. If society wants me to be a self dependent man by a certain age, then I get it. It's important to have things in order.
Accepting yourself also means to accept that we are nothing without people around us. We are social beings.
But as with everything, and most importantly, too much of order (societal pressure) is also not good.
As Buddha said - take the middle path.
Meetinder Gill for me it absolutely calmed my excessive thinking. I’m able to quiet my mind easier and even when I get unwanted thoughts and anxiety I don’t give as much attention to it and move on easier
Same here. I M suffering anxiety from 2015. I took medication it was gone but after several months when some problem came in my life. My anxiety also came back. I M trying meditation it is very helpful.
there must be difference between anxiety and social anxiety i think i have the second one, not sure if meditation can fix that but anyways meditation is a great thing even if i dont do it anymore
I have been practicing Buddhism and Buddhist meditation almost 20 years and it has been integral to managing and alleviating my depression and anxiety. Thanks for this video, it's a good explanation.
May everyone who suffers from anxiety, be cured , bless you all.🙏🏻❤👌
🙏🙏🙏
I feel I am suffering from anxiety
I wish back the same for you on behalf of everyone. :)
Thank you may god bless us all heal us and cure us.🙏💙
Tx ❤️🙏
I am staunch follower of teachings of Buddha and the biggest takeaway for me is: Buddhism isn't the solution to your problem, but you are. It's not a means to an end, but it's the end. To love yourself as who you are and others as who they are. There's so much suffering. Acceptance is the only way forward.
yes, grasshopper :)
what bodyscan do you do? guided? can you share? .. ty.
Great comment. I think the Buddha himself would’ve approved!
You are a wonderful human being. You have just made me to discover my purpose in this world.
Thank you once again, I've been struggling with anxiety since the pandemic started. I will be watching your videos that helps with anxiety ❤🙏❤
Feelings are feedback. Anxiety helps me to realise what I need to overcome, firstly the perception of the cause and the related phenomenon. Your vids have helped me realise this nature within me. Thank you very much Einzelganger for the good work.
“The mind is a great fabricator”, that’s so true! I sometimes feel as though I’m in a battle with my mind as it seems to lie to me 😐
Doing meditation has helped me so much 💓,after years and life in narcissistic abuse(ptsd)..Buddhism and meditation recomanded to everyone,also remember to BREATHE.. 💜🇳🇴
What type of Buddhism do you practice?
FEMALE narcSURVIVOUR oh damn, forgot to breathe today, thanks for the reminder
You mocking God,, that answers ur prayers,, thru the blood of His only begotten son Jesus,, Buddhism DO NOT HELP YOU,, ITS GOD HELPS YOU,,
FEMALE narcSURVIVOUR I found meditation after narc abuse as well...I will most likely meditate for the rest of my days! :)
@@cesarjrguanzon3839 buddy. Why did you clicked on this video?
Success seems like a lot to maintain. Just being or being no one is so much easier.
And peaceful
I also go for cleaning and putting things in order. 2nd, I spent time in my garden and keep looking after it. It gives me tremendous peacefulness
I find so much comfort in the comments section! That’s a therapy in itself knowing that so many of are in this together
Right!? I've been anxious about keeping my mental health in a good state after I had a friend (me and the homies helped them get through) get really depressed. I've struggled with anxiety about if that happens to _me_ since, but I know that my worries make it worse. These comments show me that I'm not alone in stuff like worrying about worry about worry.
Funny I meditate when mowing my lawn. Stay positive! Thanks again.

I think this dude cast a curse on you or something bro
Thank you for this channel. It's been a beacon of light in many dark moments.
I am suffering with this anxiety at my professional life and personal life. But, this meditation techniques resolved my anxiety disorder somehow.
Wisdom is realising what anxiety is and it's sources.
As a guy who after 14 years of dealing with religious seeking, have return to Buddhism. However, I won't deny that Ive been going through some personal struggles like minor depression, anxiety, and even bitterness. And while eastern religion are very well known for focussing on the mind and looking for God (Whoever you view it) on a much deeper level, but even I admit that its hard to do things as a buddhist/eastern religious person but still deal with struggles. And there could be many reasons on why Im still dealing with the down side of life. But hopefully your vids can at least give me some insight on how to improve on myself on some level. God bless
Yes more videos please. Your voice is very soothing. Thank you for your wonderful work. It's truly helping me at a very dark time.
Thanks for your wisdom I learned in Vietnam about Buddhism I didn't look into it until I got home alive and chilled out and began to ask questions if every country was run with Buddhism principles we would have less wars etc BDO
Thank you so much. This video comes at the right time. We need mental wellness now more than anytime. In Year 2021 now, i learn so much about myself. Tough times now with fear and worry all over the world. Lets us be worry free and stay calm…
Letting go = letting it be
Just the way it is. By wanting or not wanting(aversion), we create suffering for ourselves.
Food for thought! True story! The famous French chef/writer/traveler Eric Ripert is a practicing Buddhist and in a video on UA-cam he is cooking with the late chef/writer/traveler Anthony Bourdain who was one of his best friends. Bourdain suffered from anxiety/depression, suicidal ideation, alcoholism and had done drugs in the past. Eric suggests that Bourdain practice meditation which Eric does everyday as he also has a very hectic schedule running the top 5 star Michelin restaurant in NYC. Bourdain refused and look what happened! Eric was the one who found Anthony's body after he committed suicide. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears"! Too bad Bourdain wasn't ready for the teacher! Maybe if he had embraced meditation/Buddhism though one doesn't have to be a Buddhist to meditate, he'd be alive today. Thanks for sharing another great video~
Simply watching your videos cures my anxiety.
The best way to cure the anxiety.... talk with parents❤️❤️
That feeling when you are anxious cause you think you’ll be anxious. And then u kinda become anxious lol it’s more about fear than anything else and plus expectations- leave em behind and go with the flow ❤️ God bless
"The more we practice an embracing, accepting, and non-reactive awareness of our body discomfort, the less we suffer!"
Thank You for the Guidance. you helped me Focus on problems rather than being over - whelmed . I'll listen again to this
I like the notion of not fighting what is. Anxiety is the fear of what could happen and not what is actually happening. If I acknowledge and sit with it, the feeling changes, like everything else in life. ❤️
Buddhism and meditation is really interesting would like to see more. Keep up the good work
Thank you for this video, it's always hard to remember that you need to accept it when you're having an attack.
"Show me some evidence that worrying helps and all worry all day long" My Dad
Thank you for this. I am currently reducing my anxiety medication weekly with the aim of becoming free of them, so this was just what I needed now. I especially like the quote saying if it is a problem solve it, if it is not a problem drop it (not the exact quote). Remembering this as well as meditating and breath work should take the place the anxiety in my mind. Blessings.
"Worrying does not solve problems, finding a solution does." - Mercer
Merciless find a solution to the worry
Sometimes finding solution to your problems taxes your brain so much that you develop anxiety disorder. What about emotional trauma?... is it easy to overcome esp. when your whole life is full of traumatic events.
@@richasaxena6636 this
Very true..worrying just brings us down and makes us sick
@@richasaxena6636 Try CBT.
Idk why but watching your videos and hearing your voice makes me calm. Keep it up.
I have watched a bunch of your videos, like almost all. This one, I believe may be one of the best.
Great to hear that you like this one in particular. Not everyone here seems to appreciate Buddhism. Thanks!
Your videos are amazing, man! Yes, I am curious about learning more ways of meditating. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for your compliment, Adonis! Good to know.
MEDITATION IS NO VERY SERIOUS THING :) 🥳
Meditate the words of God,, thats will help you,, his wisdom and love towards you,,, endure s forever and ever,,. Not BUDDHISM
@@cesarjrguanzon3839 what is buddhism ?
@@mohitshivashantisharma6808 in today's fast growing WORLD,,, question s can be ask in Google any moment you'll find the answers,,,, ,, you can deepen ur research about Buddhism,,,, always ask God for guidance,, coz the spirit of Truth will lead you to every truth,,,, people tend to look for enlightenement in Buddhism becoz the church thy attend is SLEEPING,,, ,, a Smart people of God do not need anything bcoz God is enough,,, to satisfy their NEEDS
Thank you creator of this content. Your voice is calming and i feel silly hearing how true this explanations are.
I want to bring something up. Two things help me feel less nervous when i leave my house. I put on the expression of a resentful and annoyed person, and i hold something. If i look like i hate what is happening around me and like i'm very bored and unamused by it, i find i can talk to whoever i want and say things very freely, and that's the only way i can successfully talk to people. I look unapproachable, but i feel more welcomed than ever.
The whole world should drop all religions and start practicing zen buddhism and meditation. That would be end of many wars.
So it’s worry. That’s what I needed to know. Thank you

Its true. Once I accepted it went away. More I fought it was vicious cycle. Its best advise

Gratitude is The attitude vs anxiety ❤️
When you don't have a job, you need one. When you don't have physical health it's scary. When you don't have friends you're lonely and afraid you'll stay alone. Life ain't easy u know.
Your friends...your body and your job are all yours but certainly they are not you.Keep some distance from them and dont identify yourself with them.They are accessories but its not you.If you do this you will find some significant balance and the feeling of suffering will gradually go away.Nothing that belongs to somone else and even to you should determine how you feel within.

I use Tibetean soundbowls to meditate,love the waves they send to my brain.I fedl how my brain react to it.
I'm from a Buddhist country, and my sociology teacher told us he was an atheist. He taught us that we might not be sure of what happens after death but we can be sure of what happens now when we're alive. So, be kind to others and live a happy life. Do what makes you happy.
Yes!
The best comfort is to not exist and prevent hate and pain
It's all about what ACT says... So interesting!
Buddha's greatest gift is the discovery there is no self which feels anxiety,no self which wants to escape it's problems,no self which has to achieve enlightenment
How is that helpful? I find the idea of no self causes anxiety
YES, More Buddhism please.
Five years ago I was an emotional basket case. Now I am water.....and things are beautiful. It worked for me and it can work for you too.
Old Black Prisoner in a documentary quote, " I never want to get too close to anything that I cannot run away from!"
Kids arent born with anxiety because anxiety is a conditioned response, developed over time, through contact with an external environment. It is the environment that conditions us as children to have anxiety as adults.
When i look back on my childhood and the trauma i was subjected to it makes perfect sense that i would develop anxiety later in life.
Its important to keep in mind the Buddha suffered zero trauma as a child, and didnt grow up in poverty. In fact he grew up in extreme luxury and was raised by a family who LOVED him and WANTED him. If the Buddha had been repeatedly traumatized as a child, and grew up being UNWANTED and UNLOVED, guaranteed we would not be hearing about the Buddha today.
Any thoughts?
Well we most likely still would have the Buddha today because when he was born he was destined to become a wealthy king or a great spiritual leader. He became a spiritual leader even though he had everything in his childhood, so if he was exposed to trauma in childhood he probably would have still become a spiritual leader. But your point is really interesting. Also keep in mind that trauma is everywhere, even in wealthy royal families who have everything, kids can still experience anxiety/trauma due to other factors like family dynamics etc
Used to go meditating at a Diamond Way Buddhist centre years ago. It was nice up to some point. I was able ignoring rather irritating stuff like being told to imagine how some invisible entity shot a ray of light from its mouth into my mouth... but the stuff that really turned me off was the glaring arrogance of the folks who ran the show. One day I asked if I could bring a friend. They asked me about this friend, his financial background / social status. I responded he was unemployed, but in need of something that stabilizes him, offers him balance. The head-honcho replied: 'Nah, we don't want such people here'. That was the moment I told to myself 'fuck you hyprocritical lifestyle-c*nts'. I never returned... and I have to admit not really missing it. Try stoic philosophy. Combine it with some meditation. We don't really need actual Buddhism here. Just look at actual Buddhist countries... the people there aren't really more balanced than we are. It's even the contrary: They (the average Joe) often are highly narcissistic and brutal. Furthermore..just look at how animals factually are treated in Buddhist countries...forget about the romanticizing crap you saw in movies like 7 days in Tibet. It was lifestyle propaganda for a naive western audience desiring something exotic Christianity lost ages ago - the spiritual core.
@Bruno Faustino Agreed.
I have bipolar disorder. I didn't like Medications especially anti-depressants. Instead i devoted myself to meditations which helped me huge, and while doing meditations i discovered buddhist philosophy and way of life which also helped me very much.
Hundred Waves i use anti depressants for anxiety and i don’t feel a single thing different. maybe DoSAGe but whatever.
and about ur BiPolar disorder, lemme ask you this, does it feel like a “good” side and an “Evil” side exist in your mind and do they “fight”/“clash” a lot? 😈/😇
@@AJ-CR Yes they do, and you shouldn't resist, just accept it
Hundred Waves right but i wouldn’t know cuz i have anxiety but i’m rlly rlly interested with ppl who r bipolar because i know it’s more than being “angry” right?
@@AJ-CR Affects of anti-depressants will occur in 1month or in 2 months maybe, not instantly. But you better meditate instead of taking anti depressants. There are Osho communes in USA and in EU they do lots of meditations which specifically are very useful against bipolar disorder. Or do Osho meditations at home , kundalini meditation is good for first time. Meditate every day in 3 to 6 months you will see improvements. This is proved on lots of people with disorder and anxiety including me.
Hundred Waves wow you knew that i haven’t been taking the pills for a month. damn i have another theory for you my man.
Do you believe that in some way, you’re a genius.. like seriously smarter than most (which is why u can’t staaand stupid people)
WOW THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME INFORMATION I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR IT 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Angelina!
How to fight anxiety, which is not caused by external factors or pressure from somethings, but created by medical imbalance? I kept accepting anxiety, suggested by therapist and Buddha philosophy, but it was never ended until my doctor discovered my anxiety and depression caused by medical condition and then received the treatment for the condition, a week later my depression and anxiety are gone.
The Cure For Anxiety? Stop watching the news. Focus on yourself.
Ruri G : I did and it helped me a lot.
Yeah right on ...gotten of news now does help really you just don't wanna be around any negativity around you...
And stop scrolling social media to see what everyone else is doing 24/7

Thank you for your work!
you know what gives me anxiety, it’s the freak’n Ads we have to watch before we watch a youtube video and all the Ads spliced in the middle, and the Ads that are thrown in at the end.
If you can solve a problem, why worry? And if you cannot solve a problem worrying will do you no good. But the point is, I do not know if I can solve the problem or not. I doubt my abilities. Which is why I am worried.
