			<description><![CDATA[Hi. I'm so grateful for this article, fear related to meditation and the path of awakening is what I've been practicing for the last 7 months. I don't know if my experience can be useful but I want to say what has helped me the most for upcoming some anxiety moments. It has been the loosing of the very sense of oneself. With this I want to emphasize that the well-known techniques recommended in this situations, -focusing on the breath and so on- were so useful on the cusion, but a little stressul off the cusion. When I was out of the cusion and a deep sense of fear invaded my mind, I had the feeling that I had to do a lot of things in a very little moment: focus on breath, practice bodichitta, close my eyes... Then I was suffering from fear and also from stress: I was obviously doing wrong. The key to overcome this situations, for me, has been understanding I am NOT my ego, so the danger of the moment go directed to it, not to me. Then the penny dropped: i felt sooo much tenderness and love for this hurted ego, it almost made me laugh. The fear dissapeared. I want to say all techniques were useful, but the loosing of the sense of oneself is really the begining of the end of fear. Hope it helps to anybody.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for this article. It is really helpful. I notice how sometimes this feeling of groundlessness can be uncomfortable and I immediately want to grasp at some distraction(eve n spiritual ones). A sense of edginess/anxiet y etc underlies this. I just have to keep remembering to come back to the practice !]]></description>
