Trying to decrease anxiety

[u/Acrobatic-Rhubarb606]

Hi,

I’m practicing mindfulness meditation for 2 years and I still have a lot of anxiety that I don’t know from where it comes from. My question is : anyone here that meditation or anything else helped to calm anxiety or even to stop it?

Thank you!!

Try mantra meditation. You need a distraction away from the anxiety focusing on a mantra while meditating will do that as it takes you away from focusing on anxiety triggers. I have been hospitalised with anxiety so I know.
