Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Panic and anxiety

Hi!
I have suffered from panic and anxiety attacks for many years. I have read Master Lin´s book "Born A Healer" and was very touched and happy to read about a student who also have been suffering from panic and anxiety attacks, and have been helped by doing SpringForestQigong.
I guess that my strong spiritual beliefs have helped me during difficult times of my life, but sometimes when the fear gets hold of me even going to the grocery store can become difficult. I usually manage to do the things I have to do, but I would like to be able to enjoy life and do the things I never have had the strength to do.
I havent recieved my Level 1 package yet, but as soon as I do I will start practicing.
I am hoping to hear from anyone who has something to share on this.
This is my first contact with this forum and I am very touched by the support and love that comes from you all. Thank you.

Many blessings

Hello Claban,
Welcome to the SFQ Forum.
Having read your post, can I ask if you have agoraphobia or is it difficult being surrounded by people?.
Either way you can ask for help from the Universal Energy and also call upon Master Lin, before you go out. Trust that you will be given the strength and KNOW that help will be given, Do not have any doubts just go ahead and do it.

You have control of your thoughts and it is your thoughts which are making you afraid, so tell those negative thoughts to leave you as you do not need them any more; then ask for help as above and do whatever it is that you want to do.
Do let me know how you get on and I know that when you start SFQ you will achieve all you want.
Love and light
Faune

Hi!
Thank you for your kind words, Faune. It is really amazing because just this morning I felt a panic attack coming and in my my mind I did just what you suggested. I called upon Master Lin for help, and I actually felt some peace and calmness. It really helped.

I think my problem is more of a general anxiety disorder. Everytime when I go out it is if I expect the anxiety to appear, and of course it does. Sometimes the anxiety has stopped me from doing things most people do like getting my drivers license or starting or finishing an education. When I do manage to get the courage to do what I have intended it usually turns out well, and the anxiety wears off a little.
I think I have experienced all the classic signs of this disorder, like the weak legs, confusion, having trouble breathing etc.

I know that my mother and my two sisters suffers more or less of the same disorder, so maby it is something genetic. Unfortunately, as a result of the problems, I have a pretty low self esteem, but I hope that will get better and I have a feeling it will.
It feels as if I have been guided to Master Lin and Spring Forest Qigong and to this beautiful forum. I am really happy to be here.

Thanks again for your interest and concern, Faune. I know now what to do if I feel an attack coming. I will let you know how I get on when I start SFQ.

Hi Claban
Calling on Master Lin's energy is always powerful.

Something else that might help is to hold your thumbs with your forefingers - you can do this without bringing attention to it and I've found it really helpful.

You could also silently recite the chant -ohm, muaa or ong, ma, lee, bae, mae, hong.

Love

Hi Jetay!
Thanks for your reply. It certaninly feels good to have more things I can try when I feel the need.

Just by getting these replies on my posting feels great. I have recieved my Level 1 SFQ course now so I can start practicing.

Dear Claban,

Thankyou for your Emails which I responded to but have had returned -error with address - undeliverable.
I sent to claesb157@telia.com which looks to be the E address you sent.
Try me again on w-en.r_ay@tiscali.co.uk
and enjoy your SFQ practise.
Love & light
Faune

Claban, my life for years was like the way you described yours. After only a few weeks of doing both the active and sitting exercises of SFQ, I suddenly realized that the anxiety had completely left me. I wasn't doing SFQ with anxiety in mind, so I was completely surprised. You're in for some marvelous surprises, I'm thinking. Just keep doing the exercises.

Best wishes,
PAL

Thanks for you reply, Pal.

It certainly feels good to know that there is hope for us who suffer from this disorder.
I did my first practice session yesterday on SFQ and I immediately felt a sense of peace and calmness. I also got rid of a backpain I have had for sometime.
It is really amazing.

I am pleased to hear that you are free from your anxiety. Hopefully I will too.

Many blessings
