Hi @Leo Gura, I have a question for you: are you still looking for something? If yes, what?

@DrewNows thank you for the advice, this sounds exactly like what I need to be doing

@Sahil Pandit I'm not doing kriya at the moment, but I will for sure start a practice soon. I'm pretty sure I don't have muscle tightness as I go regularly to the osteopath. I do tend to prime myself before a social situation, by meditating for example, and it does help somewhat, but the effects seem to be temporary. Thank you very much for your reply and your tips.

Hello everyone, I've been meditating and working on myself for the past 9 months now. I've been improving substantially in all areas of my life, but I cannot seem to break the anxiety patterns that come up when I put myself in any kind of social situation or when I have to perform. Meditation has helped a lot, but even though I'm getting more equanimous in my day to day life it doesn't seem to help for the situations I mentioned. The symptoms are not extreme, but they don't allow me to be genuine and authentic, which means I struggle to connect with people. This is incredibly frustrating, as connection is a value I hold very dearly (as I discovered from Leo's course) I can be totally at peace for days, but whenever a triggering event comes up I get IBS symptoms, adrenaline rushes and I become restless, this can all be going on while my mind is not producing anxiety thoughts. Does anyone have any useful insights that they can throw my way? Especially if they've experienced something that resembles what I talked about and overcame it completely.
