Anxiety..... The fear of nothing Anxiety can be accompanied by physical effects such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headaches. Physically, the body prepares the organism to deal with a threat. Blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited (the fight or flight response). External signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Someone suffering from anxiety might also experience it as a sense of dread or panic. Although panic attacks are not experienced by every anxiety sufferer, they are a common symptom. Panic attacks usually come without warning, and although the fear is generally irrational, the perception of danger is very real. A person experiencing a panic attack will often feel as if he or she is about to die or pass out. Panic attacks may be confused with heart attacks. A person suffering from anxiety can not tell you what they are scared of because we only fear "fear" itself. This is because, in truth, there is nothing to fear. Anxiety and depression go hand in hand. It is a sign which shows that you have bought into a misperception. Anxiety or fear occurs when we forget who we are. It is a message prompting us to pause, step back and put things into perspective again. As soon as you pause and stop justifying your misperception you will see the Truth. You can then turn the negative pattern into a positive one and the anxiety disappears. The misperception, or negative pattern, is therefore positive as it is showing us our error. The Bible supports this when it states: ''The Devil knows not who he works for" Psychology, at best, will only help you to identify your faulty thought pattern and then teach you to cope with it. By coping with your misperception you perpetuate it. A psychiatrist will simply prescribe drugs. Obviously, no drug will ever solve your problem. They only suppress the symptoms, which compounds the problem because you do not heed the mind's warning that you are entertaining a misperception. You therefore miss the opportunity to find out the cause of your condition and will continue to suffer. We are not out to knock the medical profession, they do a wonderful job at their level. What we are knocking is man's stupidity in believing that there is no order in the Universe and the belief that we can suddenly get sick for no logical reason. Your body has an incredible immune system and it is only when you have compromised this defense mechanism with damaging thoughts that you will be open to diseases and disorders.
