I haven't tried it myself, but I know someone who practices it. It really is something that she is faithful about doing, and it seems to work for her. Keep us posted.

I had a friend who went to a buddhist camp every year. this man was my adopted dad :) He had anxiety and was a heavy drinker. He passed away with 41 years of sobriety. When i saw him return from camp. The inner peace and acceptance, letting go..etc. he had was uncanny. I say whatever works!

I HAVE ALSO HEARD TAI-CHI IS GOOD BUT DONT THINK I CLD GET MY FEET THAT FAR OFF THE GROUND!

i dont know that much about it?
keep us up to date!

Yes I have researched it.. even analyzing some of their teachings.. mindful breathing, meditation, guided imagery, self hypnosis, tai-chi. .. all live and breath - peace, tranquility, calmess, knowledge. I also have a CHI Machine. It all makes so much sense.

I took a 16 week course over 3 years ago that had to do with Pain Management and Alternative Ways.. all of this was a big part of the focus and the people in the group from one way or another had all gone thru the anxiety and panic along with the need for pain control etc. Was a very enlightening experience... and I still attend on a follow up group basis.

Interesting J :)

What is a CHI machine ?

Yeah, I think I'm going to head to the library this weekend and get some books on it.

YES.. I've read several books by Thich Naht Hanh and they've been very helpful during my recovery process.

This all sounds very interesting, and I'd love more information on it as people get it. I may go to the library as well to look up information.

OK, I got some books today and I'm SO excited to start reading them !

1 of them is by the author you mentioned sixty. The other 2 are the Dali Lhama..... from what I've reserached so far, like J says, it all makes so much sense.

Will keep everybody posted. I'll start reading my first one tonight.

I have heard wonderful things about it too
I am searching for faith I can relate to
I am getting the bookds

I am so into this book that I've been reading. Will try and post the name of it tonight. It's a New York Times best seller and BOY does it ever make sense. I love it, and I'm only in the 2nd chapter... LOL

Here are the two books by Thich Naht Hanh I found helpful

Being Peace
Peace is Every Step

both books help you live a more positive life.

Thanks for those Sixty :) I'll see if our library has them. I love this Buddhism, very very interesting. And really, it's not about religion, it's about mindful thinking, finding inner peace, meditation etc...

I got 3 books at the library on Sat., I'll post them on here tonight when I get home.

super interested. i didn't realize it's not about religion. i have some books due back to the library this week and will be checking out more so please let us know :)

Hi Shub,

The Dahli Lama wants to educate everyone to inner peace, etc no matter what religion they are. It's very eye opening, I'm really enjoying the reading.
