A Holistic Approach to Panic Attacks

With humans fighting around the world, the energy of fear and panic is permeating our planetary psyche. Everyone (including animals) feels it on some level because we are all one. We heal the planetary panic by healing our own.

In my experience, panic attacks occur when your energy partially leaves your body. Your body panics because it feels your spirit leaving.

Many factors can trigger this energy effect. The most common is chemical exposure. Thousands of chemicals surround us every day in beauty and cleaning products, the off-gassing of plastic objects, and more. Some people have immediate reactions to these chemicals, others have delayed ones. Try using natural products and see how they affect you.

Fluorescent lights are another trigger. The rapid flickering on and off is hard on the nervous system. Many of my clients report panic attacks in malls. Unfortunately the energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs have the same effect.

Food sensitivities can play a part. Try eliminating sugar and food additives. Then consider trial eliminations of corn, dairy, and wheat. A good healer can help you with these decisions.

Others find panic starts in large groups or public places. They absorb and try to process the energy of others which overwhelms them and leads to panic. For this I recommend the flower remedy of Yarrow made by Flower Essence Services (FES)—available at most health food stores. Yarrow allows others’ energy to flow through you instead of sticking to you. Another flower remedy I find useful is Star of Bethlehem, a Bach Flower Remedy that clears shock out of the body. This can be a recent shock, or the shock from something that happened years ago. I find there is often a reason people learn to leave their bodies, some old trauma (it can be as small as being scared when you were left alone for a minute in a grocery cart and you couldn’t see your mom) that needs to be released without necessarily knowing what it was.

I find people who have panic attacks tend to be ungrounded. They are not fully inhabiting their bodies, usually because of a dysfunctional base chakra. I recommend partial squats (with no weight) to energize the base chakra. Carry hematite or garnet to keep you grounded. Have a good energy healer work on your base chakra.

Since the base chakra directly affects the physical body, I recommend working with diet and exercise to keep things flowing. I also find a liver cleanse is helpful, as the liver processes the toxins which make the body uninhabitable. Remember that bodies are supposed to be fun—enjoy your body.

Meditation helps maintain centeredness—sometimes walking meditation is best. Deep breathing as a regular practice helps you stay calm when the panic starts creeping in. Remember that the best way to deal with panic attacks is to keep yourself centered and grounded so they don’t happen.
