Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche - Using panic attacks for meditation

A clip from "Joy of Living: A Public Talk" DVD, Recorded in August, 2007.

In this talk based on his groundbreaking first book, The Joy of Living (Harmony Books), world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practices of meditation. Working with neuroscientists at the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, he provides clear insights into modern research indicating that systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion. He has also worked with physicists across the country to develop a fresh, scientifically based interpretation of the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality. Mingyur Rinpoche weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand the human experience.

makyoakuma - i have been overcoming anxiety attacks through his teachings. whenever i get a slight symptom of anxiety, i greet my anxiety. i say hello anxiety. or hello fear. thinking of anxiety as a friend helps it go away more quickly. it becomes shy.

In Mindfulness Therapy (available online via Skype) I teach people how to sit with their general or anxiety or panic anxiety with mindfulness, which is the combination of awareness and compassion. It takes some practice, but it is quite effective - If you make friends with your emotions, you become stronger and the emotions become weaker. I thoroughly recommend that you learn how to meditate on your anxiety in this way...

This is good, although I'm using NoAnx4All to ease my attacks, it works best for me.

Yes, we always have the opportunity to choose peace, rather than all those painful and unhealthy negative emotions.
