My Story (2/2) ~ Using meditation to deal with panic attacks, stress & anxiety

In this short video, Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche explains how he used the practice of meditation to transform the way he dealt with the crippling panic attacks and anxiety experienced as a child. He also shows how this approach can be used with any painful feeling or emotion. In another video teaching, "My Story ~ Mingyur Rinpoche talks about his childhood experience with panic attacks and anxiety," he describes his childhood experiences with panic and anxiety.

This video includes subtitles in Italian and Spanish.

I have suffered with panic disorder for 15 years. 10 years i became agoraphobic and house bound from fear of panic attacks out doors. I became frightened of going out. The last year i faced my fear and started doing exposure therapy and little by little started going out doors and fighting my panic. Thank you for your video i have faith this will help me with my journey 🙏🏻

My anxiety goes away only by listening to him

[serbanescusimona]

He is so positive and yet profound! I really enjoyed listening to him.

Yes it works for me. And i think it works for everyone. Fear will dissapear. Just keep going.

This is great, a follower of buddha. Buddha sacrifised his throne just to find solutions for us like this. I just wanna thank u Lama Mingyur La.

Fear of panics is EXACTLY what I'm going through, and have been trying to cope with since my mom passed away last September.

Im really glad I found your videos. I have bad panic attacks. Two days ago I had one so bad that my friend had to come over and take care of my baby for me, I was curled up on the couch freaking out convinced that I was dying, I can't deal with panic attacks like that anymore. Thank you for making these videos

Thanks for the informative video. I just meditated for 30 minutes, followed by watching part 1 & 2 of your video, and I have to say...I feel much better now.

It is ruling my life right now and I’m getting horrible physical symptoms and I’m unable to drive, leave my house or work. I’m afraid 😟 thank you for this video! 💛

Wow Fear of Panic is how my klonopin habit continued. Along with becoming less tolerant of anxiety as I got used to having an escape route. Been clean from that and some subsequent addictions since, but still dealing with the same thing with my cannabis use. Right now I'm just trying to strengthen my spiritual practice until I have enough tools and strength to completely stamp it out.

I am almost certain that meditation can cure almost any anxiety disorder.

I love this guy, all our scientific information doesn't solve our problems, and I struggle with religion, he cuts through problems like a knife.

[cosmic-fortytwo]

Sorry I don’t understand, how do you make friends with a panic attack? This video needs a part 3.

Found his books much clearer and very helpful x

[MakeMarcAMillion]

I love this guy! He's so honest and funny. Has anyone been able to cure using his methods? I'm willing to try anything.
