Default Anxiety experience

I love my boyfriend unconditionally and with an open heart. I can honestly say that I have been in love before but I always had some conditions and felt as though I never loved anyone fully like I feel now.

He has some issues - some with me - some with past girlfriends and these are causing him anxiety.

I am experiencing the same anxiety - even though I'm not anxious about him or the relationship or anything else in my life at the moment. I've really never had a problem with anxiety until now.

Anyone know of a way to help him/me? My guides tell me to work on myself - that's the only way to help him so I've done some meditating and deep breathing exercises and they help for a few minutes but the anxiety just comes back. Also said "I love you, I'm sorry" over and over.

I think I am very connected to him which is why I feel this way.

Any ideas? Any meditations for couples?

Well, went to the Health Food Store and bought Natural Calm - a magnesium product that you drink as a tea and Kava which is great for stress.

I took one Kava pill and feel somewhat better.

I also read some on shiatsu massage and coincidentally some of the areas he wants me to rub (back of his head and neck and forehead) are the pressure points recommended for relief of anxiety.

If anyone has any other ideas I'm open to hearing them.

When your guides tell you to, "Work on yourself - that's the only way to help him" they are correct... the only person that we can change is ourself...

And I suspect that the underlying cause of your anxiety is the fear of maybe losing something that is very dear to you... your boyfriend...

Now, if you can find it in your power to heed the following dictum, "If you love someone set him free, if he comes back he is yours, if not, he never was…" it would certainly help...

There is no known and sure fire answer to anxiety... but meditation, exercise and keeping busy on worthwhile goals certainly help...

The very best of luck to you...

Hi kguiliani,

It sounds like sometimes you feel you're in a pickle. What, specifically, causes the most anxiety? When do you feel the least anxious? What are you doing? What are you thinking?
