Many struggle with getting into an airplane. My girlfriend just left the other day with her husband and 3 kids for a flight across the country and she was terrified of going. She didn’t tell her family this, only me. What was her biggest fear? … FEAR! panic away could help her with this.

Fear of the plane going down, fear that the pilot may be too tired, fear that they might run out of gas, fear of terrorism, fear of the weather, fear of turbulence…the list was unending. All of these thoughts made her feel have a lot of anxiety and she found it very difficult to control her feelings. She had to leave in 45 minutes for the airport… I quickly showed her Panic Away`s One Move technique and within minutes I could see a difference. What a delight! She felt it too and when she started to calm down, instead of her panic she actually started getting excited for the adventure instead!

The fear monster is just that a monster that can interrupt and ruin your life. So go ahead, tell FEAR to take a back seat and get control of your life back. I was thrilled that she got back in control and went on her trip, but millions of people let anxiety and panic ruin all of their fun and they won`t go at all?

Life is short, I truly believe that we should live it to the fullest. So why not decide TODAY, to put an end to this anxiety and panic altogether. Panic Away was carefully created by a former anxiety sufferer and it has literally helped thousands to break free from the bondage of anxiety. Your anxiety or panic attacks will be a thing of the past and your future will look bright!!

Meditation is a spiritual and personal experience. The goal is to get your mind to a deeper state of relaxation or personal awareness.

It can also increase blood flow through decreased heart rate and can reduce blood pressure and anxiety attacks (learn more with Panic Away). Through meditation a person can gain a higher self esteem and self confidence.

We all get so caught up in parenting, work, and responsibilities. Meditating helps relieve stress and quiets your mind. It will enable you to have a more grateful, positive attitude in life, bringing about inner peace and freedom. Meditation teaches us to be content and like who we are. You will develop a genuine happiness that doesn’t come from external or materialistic things and can be powerful in alleviating depressive or anxious thoughts.

How to Meditate:

1. Set aside enough time to meditate daily even if it`s just 5 minutes. A good goal to aim for is 20-30 minutes each day.
2. Find a quiet environment and sit in a position that is comfortable for you. Whether sitting on a chair on the ground with or without a cushion keep your feet firmly planted on the ground and make sure your back is straight.
3. Lower your eyes and gaze to the floor or you can close your eyes, whatever feels best for you.
4. Breathe deeply and slowly.
5. Concentrate on each body part and start trying to relax each muscle. This takes time but start at your toes and work all the way to your head until you can feel yourself becoming more relaxed.
6. At first, allow your thoughts to come and go with detachment. You will get to a point where you will be able to control your thoughts, your thoughts will no longer control you.
7. Your goal is to focus on “nothing“. This will be difficult at first because our mind wants to wander a mile a minute but try to concentrate on the flow of your breath instead or the physical sensations your body is experiencing. If this is too difficult in the beginning you may want to play a meditation cd with soothing music so you can concentrate on the music. Then move on to quiet when you’re ready. Simple silence is the goal.
8. When you notice thoughts, gently let them go and refocus on your breath.
9. Rest in the moment.
10. Then gently lift up your gaze or open your eyes and return to each body part again, slowing awaking and being aware of each muscle from your toes to your head.

Be aware of your mood and thoughts even when you’re not meditating. On the days you do meditate you will start to feel more calm and happy so let your goal be ‘daily’. And be patient. It’s not easy to silence the mind but with persistence you will get there. Meditation requires focus and dedication but the benefits you will reap from it makes it all worth it!!
