There are all sorts of mindfulness techniques for anxiety, but there are 3 that are head and shoulders above the rest.

As you know I’m a mindfulness trainer and have written extensively on the subject. I grew up around meditation and never questioned its validity. I assumed my parents knew what they were doing and it must’ve served them in some way.

I’ve been meditating for decades myself, but as my own daily meditation practice intensified I began to explore the science behind meditation. I knew it was an ancient science dating back thousands of years to the and Sadhus of India. All Indian Saints speak poeticallyabout sitting in this state of cosmic bliss.

It sounded enchanting, tantalizing. It seemed as though they had something figured out that non-meditators didn’t. And quite frankly they did.

The purpose in Indian folklore and Indian religions for life is a far deeper one than that which exists in western religions.

Spirituality runs deep in my veins as an Indian. It seems it courses through my blood in ways that others don’t necessarily feel or sense on this level.

I know there are all sorts of deeply spiritual people, but there is something deeply innately spiritual with Indians and Indian culture. Hence so many spiritual seekers pilgrimage to India…
