Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 16 (42:27-45:35)
Yogi: When the mind panics and is struggling, in that state of mind, I can’t settle down to say something at this interview.
Sayadaw: If the mind is that agitated, then take a neutral object in the body. Just calm the mind – don’t investigate first until the mind feels steadier and more stable.
Yogi: It has changed already by changing my awareness to the body, just focusing on my hands touching each other. That allows me to breathe again.
Being able to breathe again, the constriction in my stomach gets less strong. It has changed.
