First of all, before considering Vedic Meditation as a potential solution to anxiety and
panic attacks, it is important that you seek medical advice from your doctor or a
qualified mental health professional. Symptoms similar to those of panic attacks and
anxiety can be caused by a number of other physical conditions, so it is important that
you have an accurate diagnosis after a proper medical assessment.
The symptoms of anxiety include:
A panic attack is generally characterised by suffering four or more of the following
symptoms within a brief period of perhaps ten minutes:
To be very clear, no-one should self-diagnose based on this list. If you are
experiencing these symptoms, it is important that you seek medical advice to
investigate their true cause.
A panic attack can come at any moment, not necessarily when the person is feeling
worried or stressed. Many people who experience these attacks say they can happen
when they feel quite calm, coming ‘out of the blue’.
If medical advice confirms that you are suffering from anxiety, then Vedic Meditation is
an excellent way to deal with the problem and regain a much happier, healthier state.
Studies have shown repeatedly that levels of cortisol in the bloodstream have dropped
dramatically during Vedic meditation and that the reduction in this key indicator of
anxiety is diminished outside meditation.
Tests have also shown a very high increase in 'skin resistance' during and after Vedic
meditation: these tests measure the amount of sweat on the palms, which is a clear
indicator of anxiety. The higher the skin resistance, the less sweat. Tests showed a
reduction of this anxiety/stress indicator by as much as nine times during meditation
and reduction continued to be significantly improved by the meditators over the non-
meditating test subjects after meditation.
Hypertension (or 'high blood pressure') has also been shown to be brought back to
normal, safe levels by the practice of Vedic meditation.

Vedic Meditation

Studies have shown that anxiety is very significantly reduced or eliminated
by the practice of Vedic Meditation. Meditators report that panic attacks
stop and do not recur when they practise meditation regularly.

What we commonly refer to as 'stress' is the response of the body to being
overwhelmed by stimuli. The body goes into fight-flight mode, seeking to escape from
what it perceives as a threat. This was a very useful response in the days when we, as
a species, were avoiding becoming a meal for a predator - but it is unfortunately a
useless response when the 'threat' comes in the form of a traffic jam or a large phone
bill. When the body is too frequently stimulated by outside demands, individuals can
become hyper-sensitive to all sorts of everyday demands and this overload can be
experienced as anxiety. Long term exposure to anxiety can then sometimes lead to
the episodes known as panic attacks.
