The simple act of focusing on the breath, allowing it to slow and deepen, calms the body and quiets the mind. Focusing on the breath gives your mind something to do besides spiral in fearful reactions. It\u2019s one of the major tools taught by therapists.

Remember though that meditation is about learning to accept that:<br \/>\n&#8211; you are not your thoughts (&#x3D; you are not your panic disorder)<br \/>\n&#8211; trying to get rid of something is like the flip side of a coin \u2013 hiding from it won\u2019t make it go away however uncomfortable the feelings. <\/p>\n<p>See it more as learning to walk hand in hand with your panic disorder, comfortable in the knowledge that many people suffer from this disorder, that you are far from being alone, and that you can accept yourself as a whole, without defining yourself by it.  <\/p>\n<p>Personally, I use the \u00ab\u00a0noting technique\u00a0\u00bb in Headspace for working with my anxiety, and find it extremely useful. <\/p>\n<p>Good luck, and keep at it as it does take a little bit of time to be effective. It is well worth the wait though. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jamie T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I started mindfulness meditation precisely because I have anxiety. I\u2019ve found it helps immensely, and I am able to calm down from panicking much quicker these days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Olivia Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don&#39;t suffer from panic attacks but I guess that meditation can help because in time you learn to quickly &#39;sink into your body&#39; reducing your activity to monitoring your breath.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Benjamin W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes. It\u2019s more difficult to be present on the hard days but when I make myself meditate daily I feel that it helps in preventing me from having panic attacks. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Herlander F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I honestly hope so, because I also suffer from an everyday panic or stress and velive that definetley isn\u2019t good for you. I just tried my 3 meditation time and I live it im<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jimmie Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes it does. Look up Eckhart Tolle on YouTube and learn about mindfulness first. It\u2019ll make it easier to meditate if you know mindfulness first. I\u2019ve meditated for years and it\u2019s had no benefit until I discovered mindfulness. I have panic attacks frequently and they have become less often with mindfulness meditation. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Meire F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I don&#39;t truly know, but I can guess it could give you tools to look up when an episode occurs a new mindset and work from that. It could also aliviates preanxiety, like being worried for a panic attack.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Selma E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, it does.  Take the time to look for and try different meditations from different sources until you find one that really helps you, no matter the length.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gaud Ncio Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, meditation is a way of understanding and it&#39;s a way to relax and find your inner self. It should not worry you or make you panic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Edna S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is the answer to everything. Pulls you out of the endless mental movie making and realigns you to the present moment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christian C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t have that but I do have anxiety. I\u2019ve been meditating everyday for 10-40 minutes a day the last 35 days. It helps me notice when I\u2019m actually having an anxiety attack, rather than realising it later. By noticing it in the moment, I\u2019m able to take actions for it to at least not exacerbate and even sometimes to stop it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maur Cia T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It gives me better control. When I feel an attack coming up, I start with a breathing exercise to calm down a bit, I continue this in meditating by contemplating what made me freak out and then come to the conclusion that there was nothing to freak out about. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andy S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes it does! I have anxiety not panic disorder but I\u2019m GUESSING there AROUND the same. But I\u2019m not sure. But anyway I have anxiety and meditation has helped lower my anxiety and me be more mindful! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luca A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation helps<br \/>\nme to keep my mind calm, relaxed and focused. That helps against panic disorder. I gain a lot of clarity doing meditation <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ilja F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, because I as try to concentrate on my breathing , as I continuously take deep breaths they make me calmer. I also start to feel united with the world around me, what also helps for anxiety which I experience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Philip G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it helps tremendously! I suffer from anxiety and a occasional panic attack. And meditation as taught me to remain in the present and just concentrate on my breathing\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miguel J. Absolutely!
