The word meditation is an adjective, and that means something highly reflective, contemplated or thoughtful. It also usually requires calmness.

If the definition above is anything to go by, it is the fact that it is a conscious act. It is intentional. In the same vein, to deal with stress and anxiety, you have to be intentional about it.

You cannot talk about stress without ending up with anxiety. This is because both are interwoven, and harmful to the mind and body. Therefore, when you deal with anxiety, you are simultaneously dealing with stress and anxiety.

An individual that is choked with stress and anxiety is likely to get depressed, have anger issues, feel overwhelmed, suffer from insomnia or sleep too much, be constantly worried, have problems with memory and concentration, be suicidal, as well as find him/herself always making bad decisions.

Any way you want to look at it, an individual struggling with stress and anxiety is sitting on a ticking time-bomb; one that may blow up any moment.

Holistic mindful meditation tops the list of how to deal with stress naturally and overcome it permanently. A lot of people have asked how they can be effectively involved in anxiety mediation - the form of meditation that has been proven to deal with anxiety and conquer it.

Meditation is not just a spiritual activity. Although it started as an act meant to help deepen understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of life, all around the world today, it is used for relaxation, dealing with anxiety and managing stress.

It is an act that is body – mind complimentary, and the results focus on these two parts too. Some of the proven ways to deal with stress and anxiety through anxiety meditation are. 

1. Be thankful for life

Oftentimes, you are stressed the way you are because of the things you prioritise your attention on. Instead of feeding your anger over what you don’t have yet, be thankful for those you have already.

Being appreciative of life has its positive impact and it rubs off on you. It has a way of easing stress. When you are always worked up over negativities, it has a way of stressing you up and causing anxiety / panic attacks. 

2. Do not disconnect your mind from your body

Both must be put under check. You own both. You therefore should put them under control, and not have them control you. Not having a hold of your mind and body has a way of stressing you.

The connection between your body and mind should be intact, and you should be able to tell when things are about to go south. Not necessarily when it is beyond remedy.
