Hello everyone, I am here to offer inspiration and hope. I suffered from anxiety between the ages of 19 and 33. Tried everything and really got no lasting results-until Nov 2005. After reaching a threshold, I became enlightened, virtually transcended thought. The "thinker" or ego  in my mind constantly had me bouncing between the past and future. It would bring on anxiety and then have me believe it would happen again and again-anticipatory right?  You see, we have come to understand that the ego is only a "macho" thing, that it only has to do with vanity, etc...  In fact it places every automatic negative thought in  our minds.
I realize the suffering the suffering that occurs with anxiety, for 14 yrs it impacted my life tremendously-but it brought me here today where I live with a silent mind and live MOMENT BY MOMENT. Practicing meditation will help silence the mind. A silent mind is peace beyond measure.
 I will offer 2 suggestions- Practice living in the Now, or moment by moment and challenge your negative thoughts. It is belief in these that causes pain. The fear and anger that is attached to anxiety is like a low vibrating energy-makes us feel uncomfortable. Practice observing the thinker, not react to it.
Peace and Blessings, Jiulio Consiglio

Keep at Kiara, a shift in consciousness is what's needed. We are all equals and in fact limitless, I have truly discovered this over the past yr.

what if your thoughts are half negative and half positive.  my minds constantly shifts from reality and dream every 5 seconds.  I cannot tell the difference because i just phase out without realizing it.  It is uncontrollable.  My anxiety is a blessing and a curse to me. I do want it gone though.  I practice meditation too, but after I do it I feel like I lost 10 IQ points.  I am so stable that I lost my will to write and be artistic which I love to do.  I love to write when my anxiety is peeking.  I guess I just have to loose that.   traurig001

I sit here finally feeling good and positive, then when I dream.... I am dreaming negative things about the same stuff I worked to fix.  Then I wake up all depressed.  An example was yesterday, I was not upset much about my girlfriend situation, then I kept waking up realizing I was dreaming that she kept doing mean things and was telling me she did all of this stuff, and my mind believed it was REAL.  So I bet that is why I always wake up feeling worse than when I go to bed.  I am having my mind think a lot of crap is true and then when I wake up, I dont remember the dreams usually and thus dont know why my mind is negative towards someone or something.

Hi O-Ren, If some thoughts feel half posititve/half negative...regardless...try to observe them and practice remaining in the Now.  Yes it was pain and anxiety that led me to this blessed state of consciousness. Until you can fully silent the mind, and it is possible...observe. As for your writing, your inspiration comes from spirit! You don't need any neg energy to inspire you! Be patient and have faith. I have read some other chats and people feel the way I used to "like something was wrong with Me" nothing is wrong with any of us...everyone is dealing with neg thinking...those who are more aware however, suffer a bit more.

Peace to you, Jiulio

Hello Nightowl, It is appearing that you're becoming more aware, that's excellent! Happiness, joy, peace are conscious choices. I realize how even a dream can appear so real...I tell people all the time...its the inner perceptions that have to change.

Stay strong, Jiulio

Good point, "o-ren." I feel that if I didn't have anger and think negative thoughts that I would lose my motivation. That is what drives me to be the best. I feel like if I lose that, I will lose my killer instinct.
