In this post, I will be talking about clearing negative karma so that you can avoid many possible undesired events in your life caused by your past experiences.
Whenever “Karma” is mentioned, people get an image of a ghost in their mind that haunts them to punish for what they have done in the past whereas in reality, it is just a universal law for which there is no such thing as “good” or “bad”.
Nothing from outside shapes our reality and even the negative events that occur in our lives are a result of our own unconscious thoughts.
Karma in simple definition is “action” so, this law which is also referred as the law of cause and effect works according to the thought impressions present in our energy.
These thought impressions are formed in a person’s mind as a result of their own actions or their reaction to any event. Continue reading
Unlike us, kids are not too concerned about the future events. Momentarily, they may get upset when they don’t get what they want but, they have the tendency to forget about it easily and that’s why I would emphasis that creative visualization for children should be an unscripted process.
Kids are naturally gifted with the creative ability, we all were excellent in using our imagination to create the dream atmosphere for our playtime. If you will take a live example of any group of kids playing, you will find that there are a lot of imaginative elements being incorporated in their games.
Most of us forget to enjoy our dream world as we grow up because our society doesn’t encourage such habits.
Today, we are realizing that visualization is one of the most potent mind tools available to us however the essential qualities needed to make proper use of it is something we need to acquire with practice.
Actually, it is not a learning process but, an unlearning process.
It’s true that we cannot do anything about what has happened to us in the past but, we can surely help the young ones of our generation. Continue reading
In this post, I am going to share a few photographic memory training exercises that will enable you to tap into your subconscious mind’s ability to remember everything in form of detailed images.
Photographic memory (eidetic memory) is something which some people have claimed to have including very famous personalities like Nikola Tesla but, still it is not completely validated by science.
I was recently reading a blog on photographic memory where the author emphasized too much that nobody can have photographic memory (like in photo reading where you can scan the pages of books) still he was promoting photographic memory methods in his own labeled “practical” way.
Well let me say one thing, when somebody is talking about a subject like this they must put their logic aside or they should not talk about it at all because logical way of thinking cannot help a person to understand such phenomena.
Few people also believe that eidetic memory is a god gifted ability for some special people and others cannot develop it. Continue reading
Today, I am going to talk about the law of attraction and imagination as I hope that by knowing this you will get a better picture of how you create your reality using your thoughts.
There is a reason why “the secret” went viral, it is because the message in that movie resonated with what people already knew somewhere in their heart.
The movie was lengthy enough to cover a lot of things and the information was delivered by people who are experts in the area of self growth, still there is a lot more left than that to know about our creative power.
Those who believe that they can alter their reality by doing the inner work required are often termed by the skeptics as the daydreamers or people who have their heads in the clouds.
What’s wrong with the skeptics is not that they don’t believe in it but, it is their assumption that they know better.
So, in this post my intention is to provide you with a deeper insight on the how your imagination affects your reality.
That’s a catchy term I picked up from Christie Marie Sheldon’s love or above program, which represents everything that exists in a person’s world.
See, I mentioned “a person’s world” not “everybody’s world” because we all have different worlds of our own and that is what I mean by the reality bubble.
How do we all have different worlds?
Everything in our external world is a reflection of our inner world hence we perceive, accept, reject, and judge everything according to what we believe deep inside.
A problem that is troublesome for one person might not be a problem at all for another person.
Similarly, what makes one person sad might make another happy-This means that we are not obligated to feel a certain way about any particular situation, instead we are “programmed” to behave in that manner.
Whatever we believe to be true becomes our reality.
You create your reality, if you don’t believe that then by the same law it will also become the truth in your reality bubble that you don’t create your reality.
The reality bubble we discussed above is your unique “reality field” and this particular bubble is sustained by your energy.
There is an invisible energy field that is present all around your body and in truth your physical body is present inside this energy body.
This life force (energy) is what shapes your life and if you could alter the frequency at which these energy particles are vibrating then you can simply create a new and completely different reality.
How can one alter these vibrations?
The vibrational frequency of your energy body is decided by your deep rooted subconscious beliefs.
Your thoughts and feelings are responsible for any particular state of your energy body. Based on the state of this energy field your life story unfolds.
To see how the universal laws operates you just have to become more aware of the various happenings around you.
Everyone’s life follows a particular “pattern” which keeps on repeating in the life of a person who is living unconsciously and believes that he has no control over his life.
These patterns are actually caused by the beliefs that an individual has accepted as the truth, if he chooses to discard that belief by doing some inner work then those patterns will vanish from his life.
In simple words, our energy’s vibrational state decides what the law of attraction will bring into our lives and to get into a new vibrational state all you have to do is to alter your beliefs.
How?..Using any mind tool that enables you to replace the old beliefs in your subconscious mind with the new ones.
One such awesome tool is imagination and now we will discuss how imagination helps you to change your inner beliefs that will further get reflected in your outer world.
Imagination is a faculty of our mind which is a natural gift to us, we have used it consciously in our childhood and after we grow up we use it unconsciously (mostly in a negative way).
Every time you find yourself worrying or fearing you are imagining an unfavorable (often dreadful) future event.
In most of the cases what we fear or worry the most, happens- That’s the law of attraction at work.
When imagination used unconsciously could attract so many big problems in your life then just think how much you can benefit by using it consciously.
To replace your old set of beliefs with the new ones you will have to repeatedly focus on the new ideas, this process is boosted up when you imagine positive outcomes since, images and feelings are the language of your subconscious mind
You can deliberately change the vibrational frequency of your energy by imagining your dream life (as if it has already come true) with positive emotions.
When you practice creative visualization for a considerably long time, you will be able to change your inner beliefs which are the only barrier between you and your success.
You will find a lot of articles here on how you can use your imagination.

In this post, I am going to share a few simple mindfulness exercises for beginners using which anyone can tame the voice inside his head to an extent that it stops killing their peace of mind.
When a person begins any spiritual practice to regain his peace of mind, all the judgments that he has formed about spirituality whether consciously or unconsciously hinders his progress and thus, he fails to benefit from those techniques.
So, first of all I would urge you to drop any assumptions you might have formed in your mind about the “state” you could achieve using mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a form of meditation which allows you to detach yourself from the incessant flow of thoughts by bringing your focus completely to the present moment.
The present moment awareness is the key to liberate your mind from disturbing thoughts of past and future; this is why mindfulness is a powerful technique to treat most of the problems that arises due to unwanted thinking.
People often misjudge the effectiveness of mindfulness practices due to its simplicity, but those who will trust it and implement it in their lives will surely succeed to improve their mental state.
The exercises that I am going to share here are especially helpful for beginners because it is something that can be practiced by anyone in their day to day activities.
I have specially picked up these techniques for people who are too busy to sit and mediate: –
Set an intention that from now every time when somebody will speak to you, you will listen more attentively.
Active listening not only gives you a good opportunity to know others better but it also frees you from your “self talk” so that you could focus on what is happening in the present moment.
Listen without judgments or formulating the response inside your head even before the other person has finished talking.
If you can just “listen” with more alertness the perfect response will automatically come. Everything else is not response, but reaction.
Small actions that you perform involuntarily gives you a good opportunity to become more present and free yourself from the thoughts that captures your attention during those times.
One such example is when you brush your teeth. You can become a conscious observer and watch the way you move the brush, that particular action has been put on automatic pilot by you from years, so you can even try a slightly different style perhaps.
You can also do it while having a cup of coffee by paying more attention to its smell and taste.
There are hundreds of such daily activities where we are not actually present; our body performs those actions while our mind wanders.
Being mindful in these small actions helps us to avoid the unwanted thoughts in which our mind frequently gets engaged.
This is probably something which will change your view about mindfulness because many people consider that mindfulness is a boring task.
Yes, you can practice the present moment awareness in something very interesting like listening to your favorite music. However, this time you will do it in a bit different way.
You must not choose a song/music which kindles your past memories or defines “your persona” in any way.
Play a song to which you don’t have any kind of attachment and enjoy it “as it is”, pay close attention to the details of the music and observe the feelings it brings to you.
I choose to listen songs of different languages for this purpose as I am able to focus on the music rather than meaning by doing that.
One of the best ways to bring your mind to the present moment is when you travel, most of us do it naturally and that is why we all enjoy traveling a lot.
Yet, people who are highly dominated by worrisome thoughts are not at all aware of the journey; they are only concerned about reaching to the destination.
It could be your commute to workplace or grocery store, it gives you a good chance to enjoy the present moment, all you have to do is to be more present while you get from one place to another rather than being preoccupied by the need to reach to the destination.

Have you ever wondered what the secret to the law of attraction is? Like, what is the one single thing which can absolutely make your desires come true?
In this post, I will be discussing the most fundamental factor which decides what a person will attract in his life.
“Thoughts and feelings” one may say. Well, in a sense that’s right because every program, book and success coach talks about it and you will find ample amount of information on all these LOA tools in this blog which will enable you to alter your subconscious beliefs or we can say the methods that will help you to achieve the vibrational alignment with your desires.
Still these methods are not near to the one most important ingredient I am about to mention.
Detachment, yes that is the real secret of the people who are very good at manifesting their desires..!
Even though I have talked about it in few of my posts but, this is the first time ever I am going to cover this topic in detail.
There is a reason I haven’t wrote much about detachment in my law of attraction posts especially, not in a direct way like I am doing right now and that’s because people have a lot of false notions about this particular word which does not allow them to see its true definition.
So, I would like to first illuminate the true meaning of the word ”detachment” so that you can drop your false opinions about it.
Detachment…
..Does not mean “no desires” like people have believed it for years, in truth it is impossible for a person to be free of desires.. If you are alive you will have desires…
…Does not mean “emotionless”..
…Does not mean “no expectations”..
…Does not mean some mental state which is achieved only by enlightened masters..
I hope by now you might have dropped most of your judgments about this word.
What is the correct definition of it then?
Detachment is simply the quality of not being attached to the results of your actions, in other words by practicing it you will learn to desire and expect, still keeping your inner state independent of the results.
In most of my posts I emphasis on generating the feelings of “having” what you want before it arrives and that is an indirect way of practicing detachment.
However, that process can emotionally hurt a person and destroy his faith on his creative power if he becomes too much concerned about the manifestation process.
There is a reason why most of the law of attraction teachings points towards meditation and that’s because it is a perfect practice to train your mind to be in a joyful state even when you see no evidence of your wishes getting fulfilled.
After doing enough inner work that is required for making your dreams come true, generating the feelings of having it already or being totally happy with your present moment, both are equally powerful in the manifestation process.
But the latter one is a quality which can transform your whole life.
The life transforming power of practicing detachment lies in your “inner joy” which is totally independent of anything in the outer world and in this way the whole LOA process becomes a playful activity and that’s how it is supposed to be.
Meditation is indeed an effective way for you to train your mind to be free of the worries about the outcomes but, the most powerful tool for practicing detachment is present moment awareness which you can gain from mindfulness exercises.
Mindfulness exercises help you to bring your focus to the present moment whenever your mind gets carried away by disturbing thoughts of past and future.
Once you learn to concentrate on the “now” moment, you will allow the life force to flow freely through you and this will result into easy manifestation of your desires.

In this post, I am going to bring a few breathing exercises for panic attacks which can really prove out to be a good tool for you to calm yourself when you get those troublesome panic attacks.
Our breathing has a lot to do with our emotional states and various mind states produces different types of breathing patterns, it is hard to discern these variations in our breath during normal mood changes since the change is very insignificant but, in cases of serious emotional imbalances it becomes very obvious.
The good news is that we can use our breathing to deal with seemingly insurmountable emotional problems whether let it be fear, anxiety or depression.
In case of panic attacks it is undoubtedly impossible to press an immediate escape button however with practice you can really learn to relieve yourself by regulating your breathing patterns.
Deep breathing is not a good thing to do during hyperventilation, we will discuss about it later but, in all other cases you can definitely benefit from the deep breathing exercises that I am going to discuss here.
These exercises are very appropriate to be used to avoid intense emotional trouble if you can detect the symptoms prior to the attacks (which most patients can do with experience).
Again, this is a very easy exercise which you can perform at any place and time according to your convenience.
To do this, sit straight by keeping your spine erect and take a long deep breath in by slowly counting up to four, then hold your breath for another count of four and exhale by again counting from 1-4, repeat until you feel relaxed.
Belly breathing is a very simple deep breathing exercise which you can use anywhere, anytime.
Just place both your hands on your belly and slowly inhale feeling your belly expand out, hold your breath for a while and then exhale by feeling your belly contract back…Repeat it several times till you feel relieved.
This exercise might seem too easy to be effective but, do not judge it by its simplicity because it brings your attention to your breath by taking it off from the disturbing feelings and thus stops it from ascending.
Panic attacks are mostly accompanied by hyperventilation, the symptoms are deep long rapid breath, dizziness, sweating, numbness and nausea
The cause of hyperventilation is excessive removal of carbon dioxide from the body that occurs due to frequent deep breaths and that’s why deep breathing is not good in such cases.
Don’t worry there is a solution.
In nadi shodan pranayam you breathe from alternate nostrils and therefore it helps in balancing the carbon dioxide in your body.
To do this, sit in cross legged position and keep your back straight. Now, press your right nostril with your right thumb and inhale from your left nostril.
Hold your breath for a while and then exhale from your right nostril by pressing the left one with your right ring finger.
Now, reverse the process and repeat for at least 10 minutes.
This is another common problem faced by patients suffering from panic attacks; all of a sudden they feel it hard to breathe.
In real it is a false feeling because they are actually breathing in such situations but, due the intense stress caused by the panic attack they forget to exhale and they focus only on inhaling.
So when you feel like this, make sure to recognize your true condition and exhale before you try to breathe in.
All these exercises are helpful for your emotional troubles because mindful-breathing brings your mind into the present moment and allows you to gain a better control of it.
This is a personal development blog and these are just a few yogic and mindfulness exercises using which you can treat your emotional problems, try them and find if it works for you.
If you are under treatment then please do continue with it along with these exercises.

In this Ultimate Reiki Package review, I will be covering what you could get from this program in detail which will help you to make the right buying decision.
This program by Judith and Chris Conroy is especially, prepared for people who are willing to learn Reiki from the comfort of their homes and they also debunk various myths about learning Reiki which stops many people from acquiring this skill.
According to the makers all the common beliefs about learning Reiki like you have to go through long training, costly courses, presence of master, etc are not at all true and that you can become a practitioner of this art much easily.
The evidence using which the producers of this program make claims that you don’t have to fulfill those commonly assumed requirements in order to successfully master Reiki techniques is of the founder of the modern day Reiki Mikao Usui, saying that he was attuned to it that way.
So, the authors say that Usui through his rigorous spiritual practices had a self-realization that he can channel the precious energy flowing through him and use it for various divine purposes like healing others or speed up their spiritual progress. This also falsifies the story that says the divine light hit his head and gifted him the eternal wisdom of Reiki.
The above example lights up people’s hope of learning Reiki by themselves from the convenience of their homes because thousands of people who want to acquire the knowledge of this art are unable to find time to visit the Reiki centers and that’s why Judith and Chris Conroy have prepared the Ultimate Reiki Package.
This literally means that you can avoid the waiting of advancing level by level for becoming a Reiki master.
The concept on which this product is based is that we all have a life force flowing through us and we all can channelize it by knowing its presence.
Usually people think that the master transfers this skill to his pupil, but actually the disciple already has it within him the master just makes him to realize this.
This is what makes this program so awesome, it will guide you to the place where you will be able to access the power that was already present inside you.
Subconsciously, you are already a Reiki master.. and the intent of this course will be to bring it to your conscious awareness.
This package will introduce you to a system called Chikara-Reiki-Do using which you will be able to learn how to get self attuned to Reiki.
Just like the ceremony where a master makes his student attuned to Reiki, Chikara-Reiki-Do is a self attunement ceremony where you will do it on your own with the help of an online video session included in this course material.
This online program will equip you with this awesome skill in just 48 hours, yes this means that in just about 2 days from your enrollment, you will be able to become a Reiki practitioner.
Ultimate Reiki Package is presented to you by the couple who have a long experience in the field of energy healing and spirituality.
In the program materials you will be getting access to the online master class that will guide you through the process of self attunement and you will also be able to join the monthly Reiki Master Attunement Ceremony.
You will also receive the author’s bestselling ebook Radical Reiki and 3 Reiki manuals. Apart from that you will also be able to get the certification for you and your future students.
By considering the materials and wisdom you will receive from this course, I think that it is available for much less price then its actual worth because people spend so much wealth and time for Reiki courses that fails to train them properly.
People who have already attended Reiki classes have also found this course equally empowering as the regular ones, in fact some have found it even better.
So, if you are someone who is interested in acquiring this skill then I think this program will be of great use to you.

Today I am going to provide you an in-depth mind movies matrix system review which will help you to make a buying decision or to know how you can benefit from this program that claims to help you in reprogramming your subconscious mind.
Natalie Ledwell is the author of the bestselling book “Never In Your Wildest Dreams” and a well-known person in the area of personal growth.
The most intriguing fact about Natalie is her story of rising above a huge financial debt and becoming one of the leading experts in the area of success coaching.
Natalie has transformed millions of life especially with her mind movies matrix product and she also runs a development program for kids under which she has provided success coaching for thousands of kids belonging to poor families.
If you have read my other product reviews you might be familiar with my one usual note in the bottom that says “this product can only benefit you if you would put your active efforts”.
Guess what?? I am not going to say that to you here!!
Yeah, you heard it right-This product requires your least active participation in comparison to the other success mindset building programs but, obviously you will have to follow it regularly (No product works by just buying it so, please do make use of it if you have decided to give it a try).
Mind Movies Matrix is a program which is prepared to multiply the effect that is brought by creative visualization process and vision boards in a person’s life.
The thing that makes this system more powerful in reprogramming your subconscious mind than other methods is that it has been engineered using the various technologies that have proved to be effective in having a great impact on a person’s subconscious mind.
In simple words this program will make your dream visions to break your conscious mind’s barrier and reach to your subconscious mind much quickly than any other mind tool can do.
Once your desires are communicated to your subconscious mind it makes the required changes in your behavioral patterns to make your dreams come true or in metaphysical terms we can say that the universe will orchestrate the events that will lead you to your success.
Call it the subconscious power or the law of attraction, what I know is that it works.
Many people fail to follow the vision boards and creative visualization process consistently as initially it takes a lot of effort to push yourself to do it and after some time it usually becomes a little boring because the feelings that are essential along with the visions disappears due to lack of faith.
Personal development gurus will attribute this to incorrect goal setting which is true but, it takes a lot of inner searching to come up with the right goals. But, with mind movies matrix you don’t have to worry about that because all you have to do is to play the movie that matches your desires and it will do all the inner work required.
You might be wondering how does that happen?.. Well, the movies and audios that you will get in this product works at a much deeper level than what your conscious mind could register. The subliminal messages, brainwave entrainment audio and the visuals will not only program your subconscious mind but, will also fill you up with positive emotions.
In a way, this is a very good alternative for all the law of attraction tools that you might have tried whether let it be visualization, vision boards or positive affirmations.
This program covers the 4 most common areas of a person’s life viz. money, relationships, weight loss and the perfect partner, from these categories you will get to select the required one and then proceed with the digital downloads available under each option.
First movie file is to be played in the morning for just 3 minutes with your headphones(or earphones)on.This movie consists of visuals, subconscious mind suggestions and brainwave entrainment audio.
Next you will get another media file for evening time that is called as the subliminal matrix mind movie which again is just 3 minutes long, it contains upbeat music in place of brainwave entrainment audio and this clip flashes millions of subliminal messages which you can’t assimilate on the conscious level but it goes deep into your subconscious mind.
You will also receive a sleep meditation audio which will not only relax your mind but, it will also help you to have a deep rejuvenating sleep. This audio file will energize you, refresh you and prepare your mind aptly in order achieve your goals while you are sleeping.
Earlier we discussed about the absence of positive emotions which becomes a bottleneck for the manifestation process, in this package you will also get a 60 minute subliminal audio file which you can play at anytime you want and it will fill you with higher emotions. This audio is prepared by incorporating soothing sounds of nature and many subliminal messages which does not require your active participation. So, with this audio you can just put your earphones on then press play and do whatever you want.
Just watch the videos, listen to audios and wooossssh….you dreams will come true!!-That sounds too good to be true right?
It will appear to be a scam if you will look at it that way but, when you are working to alter your subconscious beliefs, changes will take time to happen in your inner world and then only it will gradually get reflected in the external world.
These beliefs are in the form of multiple dense layers in your whole energy system so; you can’t just clear them overnight. If you want to leverage this amazing mind tool then you will have to make regular use of it for a while before expecting results.
I usually follow multiple products so that I could provide my readers with genuine reviews plus also to improve my life so, it often becomes difficult for me to attribute my progress to any particular program..lol..but, still I can see the difference that Mind Movies Matrix brought in my life.
One of the biggest advantage for me was to replace it with my visualization session which used to be of 15 minutes (3 times a day) and with that it also solved my problems related to creative visualization.
You see, despite of being a personal development freak who has practiced LOA tools for years, my conscious mind interferes my visualization process because every new goal is always a new challenge that creates new barriers and keeping up the higher emotions often becomes difficult. So, this program eased that process for me to a great extent.
Making use of these videos properly brought significant changes in my behavior, thoughts and emotions within just 3 weeks of use and I enjoyed the sessions also.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who believes in the amazing ability and power of their subconscious mind or the law of attraction.

Today I am going to share with you a few mindfulness exercises for anxiety which will help you to calm down your mind chatter and thus will allow you to achieve more serenity.
Inner peace is the most important aspect of a happy life, in today’s busy world people totally forget to take care of their mental as well as physical health until they get sick.
Any mental or physical illness is the body’s way of reminding that you have forgotten fulfilling your basic requirement in life that is to take care of your health.
Especially, if you don’t do anything to refresh your mind like the way you push the reset button in your computer, you will have to pay a heavy price in the future.
Anxiety and depression are the two most common diseases that results from the carelessness of an individual towards his emotional states.
Luckily, we have a very good tool to fix them both which is mindfulness meditation and our focus in this post would be treating anxiety.
Before that, let us look into the root cause of anxiety and depression..(because that is essential before you get to know the solution)
Most of the mental problems like frustration, anger, depression, anxiety etc are the consequences of a person not being conscious of his own thoughts, feelings and actions.
By this I mean to say that such troubles are a cumulative result of many negative thoughts which resulted into negative feelings and then became a repeating emotional pattern.
So, to avoid such illness a person has to become more aware of what is going on in his mind and then only he can consciously choose to detach himself from the voices that he hears in his head, which keeps him in lower emotional states.
Although, all the emotional troubles have a common root, I would like to highlight the main cause of depression and anxiety now.
Both of these mental illness are caused by a person’s inability to focus on the present moment which means that he constantly dwells in the past or future. All his actions become unconscious while he is either imagining the future events or replaying past incidences in his mind.
Depression is born from a person’s mind being too obsessed by the thoughts of unfavorable past events whereas anxiety is caused by a person’s worry about the future events.
Mindfulness can treat both of these emotional troubles since it helps one to become conscious of the present moment.
Yes, if you will follow the simple steps to be mindful in various moments of your life then you can successfully pull yourself out of any such addictive habits of mind.
By having a better control over your thoughts and feelings you can completely transform your life and mindfulness teaches you that in the simplest way possible, and one of its major advantage is that you can perform it anywhere and anytime unlike the conventional meditation methods.
This is my favorite one and I learned it from Eckhart Tolle’s teachings, I love this one because by doing this you are turning your weakness into strength.
Keep a watch on your thoughts and you will find that your mind has only a few very common issues using which it keeps you engaged..Identify those subjects and make it an alarm to become aware of the “now’ moment.
For example- I used to think a lot about a friend who betrayed me, my mind will come up with hundreds of thoughts around this subject like “I must have not trusted that friend”, “I will never allow anyone to come that close to me”, “How can someone be that shallow” etc etc.. then one day I chose that friend as my alarm!
So, whenever I am thinking about that friend, my mind(which earlier presented me a hundred reasons to feel bad) alerts me to practice the present moment awareness.
Once you have found a trigger and it starts to remind you to be mindful…Just take a few deep breaths and watch your thoughts as an observer, gently allow them to come and go.. become aware of every thought and try to find that state of “emptiness” when you have no thoughts. The longer you can do this the more peaceful you will feel.
In this method you focus on the information that any of the five senses is bringing to you.
It could be sounds, visuals, smells, touch or taste you actively observe them “as it is” without labeling them.
I have discussed this in more detail in the post-Learn to Expand Your Consciousness with Simple Mindfulness Exercises
This is an exercise for which you will have to take a few minutes from your daily routine.
To do this, find a silent place and sit in any relaxed position:-
First, Take ten conscious deep breaths and clear your mind from the residual thoughts.
Now, start by feeling your scalp, forehead and gently move your attention to every part of your body from top to bottom..do this gradually and imagine that wherever you are focusing that body part is getting relaxed.
This is a very effective way to press the “reset” button of which I talked earlier.
So, these were few quick ways to escape from the thoughts which cause disturbances in your mind that can further grow and become a very big problem in your life if it is not fixed at the right time.
You can practice these exercises to treat your anxiety issues but do not stop following the advice of your doctor (if you are under medical treatment).
