• MEDITATION FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS: STAGES OF MEDITATION

  Date: 2009.05.18 | Category: Anti Depressants-Sleeping Aid | Response: 0

  There are various phases of the meditative process. Most people experience them in varying degrees. Some people become very worried about these experiences. Therefore it is important to discuss them.
  

  The one experience people worry about is the sensation of their body relaxing. Sometimes people have been so tense for so many years they have forgotten what it is like to feel even slightly relaxed. As their bodies begin to let go of the tension, people become anxious and interpret the sensations as a sign that their worst fears are about to come true. They don’t.
  

  The first stage of meditation can be difficult for beginners. Our thoughts are not used to being ignored and they continually break through and demand attention. As long as we can accept this as normal and let go of them without becoming frustrated, we can move into the second stage of meditation.
  

  As we enter the second stage of meditation we feel the quiet settle over us. Our breathing begins to slow down. Our thoughts are still rising and falling, but our attention is now much more focused on our technique. Everything moves into the background as our quietness grows.
  

  We enter the third stage. Our breathing slows down even further and our body becomes deeply relaxed. We may feel as if we are as light as a feather, or we may feel a comfortable heaviness. We become aware that the continuous stream of thoughts has broken. They now rise slowly and separate from each other. Individually, they quietly rise and fall without us becoming distracted by them. We find our word or mantra becomes distorted. This is what is supposed to happen. Some of us may see brilliant white, black or other swirls of colour. We can use them to take ourselves deeper. Our thoughts drift in and out, slowly and quietly.
  

  We then enter the full meditative state in which there is perfect quietness, an absence of thought, feeling or emotions. Unlike the stages of deep sleep, this state of consciousness is very dynamic. There is full awareness of ‘nothing’, but in that ‘nothing’ is an awareness of ‘every-thing’. In this state there is no technique and no thoughts or feelings-just an all-pervasive quiet. Yet we are aware of everything and in full control. When we think ‘this is wonderful’ the quiet is broken by that thought, but we can return to the quiet simply by returning to our technique.
  

  This is meditation.

• CHILDREN’S SLEEP: TYPES OF SLEEP PROBLEMS

  Date: 2009.05.18 | Category: Anti Depressants-Sleeping Aid | Response: 0

  Sleep problems vary in cause, duration, and ages they affect. Still, they fall into categories with typical characteristics and have variations on the basic themes. Some children have only one type of problem. Others demonstrate several types at the same time. For still others, the type of problem might be related to the child’s development and will change as he groves and faces new experiences. Knowing where your child fits will help you describe the specific behaviors that are causing problems and give you clues as to how to respond.
  

  Frequent Waking
  

  Elizabeth is nine months old and I haven’t gotten a full night’s sleep since she was born.
  

  Frequent waking is a problem when a child wakes more than you expect for her developmental level—or more than you can tolerate. This may be once or several times a night.She might never have developed the pattern of sleeping for a long stretch or never learned to get back to sleep after normal nighttime arousals. The problem might be related to difficulty getting to sleep alone. She may have learned to need and expect help from her parents to get back to sleep. Or ne night waking might be stimulated by illness, dreaming, or developmenl disequilibrium. In those cases, she may need to re-learn getting herself back sleep for a long stretch.
  

  Waking for Feeding
  

  I give him a bottle and he goes right back to sleep, but I wonder if he real needs it. Some infants simply sleep through the expected feeding time, others continue waking long after what seems developmentally appropriate. This chi never learns the pattern of sleeping a long stretch. He requires food to satisfy “learned hunger” or requires sucking and comforting to get back to sleep.
  

  Difficulty Getting to Sleep
  

  After the third glass of water, I’m ready to scream! She is afraid of the monsters in her closet. This problem can affect all ages. Bedtime is drawn out and battles get worse and worse. Parents cajole, threaten, and bribe, and then they wonder how things got so out of control. There can be many reasons for this, including fears separation anxiety, and simply not having learned the skill of getting to sleeep on one’s own.

• ANXIETY IN THE MIND: PHOBIAS AND PHOBIC TENSION

  Date: 2009.04.29 | Category: Anti Depressants-Sleeping Aid | Response: 0

  In a phobia anxiety is manifested in a different way. The patient remains reasonably at ease until confronted with the phobic situation. He then experiences discomfort which may vary from mild apprehension to uncontrollable panic. The patient develops a fear of the particular situation which causes him his distress, and for this reason the condition is known as a phobia. Common phobias are heights, being away from home, being in crowds, or being in enclosed spaces such as lifts, toilets, or railway coaches. Knives, swords, and firearms often become the objects of phobias. In a similar way people may develop an irrational fear of certain animals such as mice, cats, moths, or snakes. The sufferer is always aware that his phobia is irrational. He knows quite well that there is nothing to be afraid of in going across the street, but this does nothing at all to relieve his sense of panic as he goes out the door. More and more he tends to stay indoors so that he soon becomes housebound, not venturing forth from one month to the next.
