Question by rubysioux: Does anyone have any effective methods for ending anxiety attacks, other than meds, meditation, etc?
I have suffered from anxiety attacks for over a decade now and I am on a variety of meds for it. I still have attacks and I wish I could lessen their impact. When I try to meditate or physically relax, I actually get worse. My symptoms start out as very physical and then spread to uncontrollable mind racing, etc.

Try vigorous physical exercise. Perhaps a martial art, where you need a balance of physical conditioning and mental discipline.

I think meditation alone would not help. I recommend a spiritual practice called Falun Gong. I recommend it because many people become healthy again after they took up the practice. The practice promotes body purification, moral standard uplift, and spiritual developmen via daily routine of scripture reading, exercise, and meditation
Here are some articles about the benefit in practice of Falun Gong:

Falun Gong is a unique Buddhist School, found in 1992 by Master Li Hongzhi in China. There are about 100 million followers, and most of them are in China. It’s practiced in over 80 countries worldwide. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, and spirit based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises. Meditation demonstration video and book are free to download. Contact the local practitioner for free instruction and workshop in your area.
Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Christians have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China. Can you kindly sign a petition to stop persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, please ?
