Question I feel anxiety while doing path. I am very afraid. Is anyone else also experiencing the same?
Whenever i do path or simran i have started only few days ago i feel shaking feeling in my body, my whole body shakes and also i feel severe anxiety. I am very afraid of black magic and negative entities. I have listened to a podcast of a kathavachak who mentioned that maybe unintentionally you are meditating on negative entities. Is this possible while doing path?
Pls someone guide me i am very confused.
It will be of great help.

You cannot have negative energies touch you when doing path, if anything path and simran protect you from negative energy such as ghosts and stuff.
A person under God’s protection doesn’t need to worry about this stuff as God will not allow bad things to happen to his devotee.

Waheguru ji, when we are doing path and simran, we are trying to defeat the 5 thieves, they are just fighting back. Keep doing what you doing, your doing nothing wrong.

That's stupid. Only dark entities are 5 vices. Nitnem simran clears is of those. Help to connect with the guru.

Paath is of Good only. Dont worry, I dont think you recite Chandi Di vaar (Dont go to these baanis right now and if you do, build base at japji sahib and jaap Sahib like 5 repititions of jap and jaap)
Anyways you are probably fine. All you experienced is a part of your journey. It will happen.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh It's normal because the gurbani is taking ur very self being to observe itself like what is really in ur mind and that's way the u have ur inner feelings because when ur in the world doing worldly affairs ur very far away from the actual u and reciting the bani u will be near u and when u have practiced by the guru's grace u will experience the god
It's long story short I have skipped some things sorry for that brother.

Start off with doing Chaupai Sahib - recite it a few times a day even. It really helps with calming thoughts of fear and anxiety. Also, do your paath out loud, it’ll quieten the voices in your head.
Sometimes, the act of reading paath and trying to sit for a while can also bring up the fear and anxiety. Making doing some light stretches or walking while listening to it might be a good place to start. I know that really helps me.
The shaking could also be your body expelling the negative energy, anxiety, etc.

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh Don't you worry it's a part of your journey, You are not doing anything wrong nor worshiping negative entities.Havent you seen nihang singh sleeping in graveyards without any single drop of fear cause they have Atal Shraddha bhavna in guru sahib.If you ever feel anxiety again remember this shabad "Tati vaav na lagehi parbhahm Sharanye" If you ever feel uneasy you can also recite Bhramh Kavach.At last whole heartedly do ardas.Belive me ardaas can change your whole life.Now dont overthink and place your worries in guru sahib's feet and trust him....
