Open-eyed meditation for anxiety disorders
OPEN-EYED MEDITATION FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS
In the eastern traditions, open-eyed meditation is an advanced meditation technique, usually only taught to skilled practitioners (Brunton 1965). Yet many of us are unconsciously practising a similar method of 'meditation'. In many cases we do induce a dissociative state and panic as the result.
Our self absorption can be absolute, and this self absorption is similar to other meditation techniques. We need to be aware that our self absorption can be significant enough to also induce dissociative states. Some people also report fluorescent lighting can also induce these states (Arthur-Jones 1994).
Dissociation can also occur when we begin to relax. In contradiction to the prevailing thought that when we relax we have more time to think about our symptoms, many of us actually dissociate as we relax and then become anxious and/or panic.
One such research paper, which links dizziness to deper-sonalisation, theorises that it is not so much what we are doing at the time we dissociate, 'it is the magnitude of the change [of consciousness]...which is significant' (Fewtrell et al 1988).
I, and other people who dissociate, have noticed some shifts of consciousness are accompanied by the 'surge attacks'; along with a rapid beating heart; difficulty in breathing and dizziness. When we lose our fear of the dissociated state and the 'surge' sensations our heart rate and breathing can return to normal in a matter of seconds.
It is interesting to note, nocturnal panic attacks occur, as I have said, during the transition from stage two to stage three sleep. In other words, during a change in consciousness.
Our fear of the dissociated states will not only hold us in them, it will induce further symptoms. To end the dissociated state all we need to is to break our stare, blink our eyes and/or pull back from our deep self absorption. If we wake in a dissociated state it is simply a matter of being aware we are dissociating and giving ourselves a minute or so to let our consciousness return to its waking state. Or if it wakes, us in the middle of the night, we can just be aware we are dissociating and go back to sleep.
