How Panic Became My Teacher | Mingyur Rinpoche

What happens when we stop fighting panic and begin to meet it with awareness? In this teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche shares how panic became an unexpected support for his meditation: and eventually, his teacher. He describes how his relationship with panic changed, even while its physical symptoms were still present. This video is part of the Anytime Anywhere Meditation course.

There’s no need to block your thoughts or push emotions away. Thoughts can come and go; simply knowing that you’re hearing a sound is already meditation. This is a practice you can return to throughout everyday life.
