Analyzing
This is what I can advise! "Well [name], thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!" I hope you find my suggestions useful. Since I understand that you are feeling very anxious and agitated, I want to let you know about some things that may help you. Sit in a quiet place with your back straight, not touching the chair. Close your eyes and begin to watch how your breath goes in and then out. As you do start to count the in-breaths. When you reach 10 start again at 1. If you forget which number you are at, just start again at 1. Do this for about ten times, and then each time you breathe in, say the word 'anicca' pronounced 'ah-knee-cha' to yourself. This is a Pali word which means "this too shall pass". Do this for another ten times. Slowly open your eyes and come back to normal. Since I understand that you are feeling very afraid, I want to let you know about some things that may help you, regardless of the cause of your fear. Sit in a quiet place with your back straight, not touching the chair. Close your eyes and begin to watch how your breath goes in and then out. As you do start to count the in-breaths. When you reach 10 start again at 1. If you forget which number you are at, just start again at 1. Do this for about ten times, and then each time you breathe in, say the word 'anicca' pronounced 'ah-knee-cha' to yourself. This is a Pali language work which means " this too shall pass". Do this for another ten times. Slowly open your eyes and come back to normal. Since I understand that you are feeling very sad, I want to let you know about some things that may help you a little, regardless of the cause of your sadness. Sit in a quiet place with your back straight, not touching the chair. Close your eyes and begin to watch how your breath goes in and then out. As you do start to count the in-breaths. When you reach 10 start again at 1. If you lose count, just start again at 1. Do this for about ten times, and then each time you breathe in, say the word 'anicca' pronounced 'ah-knee-cha' to yourself. (This is a Pali language word that means 'this too shall pass') Do this for another ten times. Slowly open your eyes and come back to normal. Since I understand that you are feeling very frustrated, I want to let you know about some things that may help you a little, regardless of the cause of your frustration. Sit in a quiet place with your back straight, not touching the chair. Close your eyes and begin to watch how your breath goes in and then out. As you do start to count the in-breaths.

Families can be both a source of joy and frustration, even sadness. However you are not only a member of a family group but also an individual with your own personality, strengths, needs and wants. It is a good idea to balance yourself as an individual first, before thinking of your family. It's rather like the advice for using an oxygen mask in a plane. Attach your own mask first before helping other people. When you are out of balance, it is easy to be ruled by emotions, either positive or negative. The practice of counting your breaths is the first step in learning a very powerful meditation technique called Vipassana. Healing techniques such as Matrix healing can also be very helpful.
Friends can be both a source of joy and frustration, even sadness. However you are not only a member of a group of friends but also an individual with your own personality, strengths, needs and wants. It is a good idea to balance yourself as an individual first, before thinking of your friends. It's rather like the advice for using an oxygen mask in a plane. Attach your own mask first before helping other people. Work can be both a source of joy and frustration, even sadness. Bosses and fellow workers can be great and supportive friends or they can have a negative effect on us. Work can be challenging and exciting or it can become very difficult and even depressing. Remember you are not only a member of a profession or a work group but also an individual with your own personality, strengths, needs and wants. It is a good idea to balance yourself as an individual first, before thinking outside that to your work or the people you work with. It's rather like the advice for using an oxygen mask in a plane. Attach your own mask first before helping other people. Other people can be both a source of joy and frustration, even sadness. Situations are sometimes beyond our control, no matter how we might wish otherwise. However you are not only a human being but also an individual with your own personality, strengths, needs and wants. It is a good idea to balance yourself as an individual first, before thinking of anything else. It's rather like the advice for using an oxygen mask in a plane. Attach your own mask first before helping other people. I hope you enjoyed our session! I would suggest you follow up with a Distance Matrix Healing and don't forget those breathing exercises either. Do them whenever the need arises. There may be a Vipassana meditation group near you. Take a look around.
