REMEDY TO ANXIETY
Well through my practice what anxiety feels like to me is going to pieces. The remedy has been reconnecting to my center so that I can again find Peace. Peace is bringing the pieces back together. Now for a long time I looked outside myself for the answer to anxiety. After I was attacked over 15 years ago I suffered from anxiety attacks, panic attacks and I was afraid of everything. I felt like I was going to pieces. I lost my center and this is no way to live.
I would have paid any amount of money, done anything, gone anywhere to find a relief. But through yoga this last 15 years I discovered no one can relieve anxiety for us. Peace is the opposite of anxiety. And we ourselves have peace within us at all times. This seems almost impossible to believe at first because the last thing you want to do is sit with yourself when anxious.
In yoga we can go into the quiet of our own stillness and healing, facing the fear of anxiety. Or it will overtake us. Anxiety is only the surface of the mind, we must go deeper through our tissues, into our heart and we DISAPPEAR IT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. We can vanish it like light being shed in a dark room. In yogic terms Asmita are the outer layers that we remove to reveal the inner wisdom from our heart.
Anxiety is of the head
Peace is of the heart
There is no greater expression of happiness than peace.
I am here to say that if I can do this you can too. Your life is a work of art waiting to reveal itself! “In yoga we are both the masterpiece and the artist painstakingly working to uncover the hidden work of art that is within all of us.” (Secret Power of Yoga book) If you are experiencing anxiety in your life please give this practice a chance to help you look within to pull back to your center. May you peaceful, may all beings everywhere be peaceful and FREE! Love you, Silvia
