How to stop worrying.

​Dear All,

If you have any worries about money, job, housing, relationships or anything else, you're not alone, according to this New York Times article. Here's what you can do to help yourself now that you're learning how to meditate.
 

First of all, check out the chart of your swadisthana chakra below. Worrying is something you may think your head is doing, but it's actually coming from the 2nd chakra, the swadisthana which controls your liver near your right hip.

​

To stop the worrying, go into meditation : close your eyes and focus attention at top of head. With right palm open on your lap(towards meditation photo) , place your left palm over right hip/lower stomach. Keep left hand there until feeling of coolness on head increases.

Some people use a small ice-pack (from fridge) covered in a tea-towel, instead of the left palm, to cool the liver down faster.

Other methods you can try, include doing the above while listening to this swadisthana mp3 or watching this 6 minute demo: cure for excessive thinking.

​ When you achieve a few minutes or longer of thoughtless awareness in your meditation from your swadisthana being soothed down, then the thoughtless awareness itself seems to produce a solution to the thing that was worrying you.

Try it and see.

See you at group meditation on Tuesday.
