    This helped me get off, taper off Xanax. I meditated for about six months, but only on open awareness, and concentration. Wish I did compassion more to keep more in a loving state of mind. I guess I wasn't ready. Like body scan, staring at things, listening to repetitive sounds, listening to google( inspiring )talks with eyes closed, some nature sounds, walking meditation where I counted my exhales, also sitting doing slow little movements like calve raises as an example, and a funny one was butt clenches worked good. I would inhale and clench one side, exhale and clench the other side not hard just medium.... many things that would be considered extremely boring. Except the Google talks where great so I did those a lot a night easier to concentrate because I love them. The boring stuff takes more power to stay focused. I would do 30 -60 minute meditations rounds. All while giving attention to my breath. That is very important. I probably meditated from one to two hours a day. But later even four hours because it was so helpful to stop my mind from wandering.( After a while I became aware that I was not really paying attention to what ever I was doing. Constantly daydreaming....not good at all.) But I actually payed some attention to my breath the entire day to get faster results. Compassionate thoughts, I just thought occasionally through the day. I will start those type meditations now. Well after about six months when I had a panic attack waking up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, out of breath, (I was withdrawing from Xanax) I sat down focused on my breath and did synchronized butt clenches and breaths...the symptoms stopped in one to two minutes. I was a little shocked when I first heard make friends with panic but... I understand it as keep focus on steady breath and notice the symptoms but keep focus on the breath. Don't wish them to stop just give attention to breath and maybe something else, for me some slight movement that you could do anywhere helps too if needed. Seems impossible at first but after following your breath through weeks it gets easy knowing how beneficial it is. You keep centered. I dealt with a lot of suffering calmly by meditating...focusing on the breath, and allowing the symptoms to come and go. I also did memorization of quotes ("Daily "Calm" by hallmark ,beautiful pics so you can practice visualization and silent recitation, just two a day for 30 minutes or more) forgot to say that, reading helpful inspiring books like the linden method by Charles linden, rinpoches book is next, Buddhas brain, just to name a few, yoga,,,all while paying attention to the breath! Watch videos as much as you can from Rinpoche, Matthew Ricard (not spelled right). Matteiu?, Meditation and the Science of Human Flourishing Workshop - Part 1This one great. watch things by dr Richard j Davidson, Daniel Siegel...all experts. Do it with your eyes closed, focus on your breath make it a meditation. I even focus on my breath when cooking. I've really built up my concentration. I have more to go but I've come a long way because of meditation! Thank you to all those who are spreading this amazing knowledge. I have and will do the same.

    The monk with bags of character and coming from a place of struggling with panic disorder. People with mental health backgrounds can make the best meditators because they are committed to transcending their suffering, which then becomes their gift to others. 🙏🏻❤️

    I am a under-graduation physics student, and, I just love Shree Mingyur Rinpoche and his talkings! Can he make a video on how to meditate for increasing self- discipline and concentration and memory! Please, can he make such videos, cause that will be hugely helpful for students like us, who find it difficult to make friends with the monkey mind!

I'm still very new to meditation and I am glad I came across this lesson so early. I have deep grief and anger in my life and to learn that I can use them as my tools for meditation is very helpful to me.

    I’m not quite sure what Rinpoche means, “Make friends with your panic/use your panic as support for your meditation.” I understand when he says panic is your boss or your enemy-makes perfect sense to me. I’m just stuck at how you make it your friend and support. If someone can explain to me, I’d appreciate it very much. Thank you! Namaste. 🙏🏼

    I really like these videos of yours. You talk deeply, yet lightheartedly. You seemed to be very balance and genuinely happy about being alive.
    Although, what happens when your thoughts create actions directly? How do I not force those thoughts away while preventing at least the negative actions those thoughts create?
    I do see what you mean about a lot of things. I need to treat my mind as my friend, instead of my enemy. :) I need the purity of my soul to soak into me, correct?
