Meditation for OCD ~ Treatment for Obses...

GUIDED MEDITATION
About this episode

Meditation for OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder is a simple and effective method to help reduce anxiety and other ocd based issues that can cause mental and physical stress everyday. Guided meditation for obsessive compulsive disorder is an under rated tool to help various different degrees of OCD sufferers.


Overthinking, intrusive thoughts and panic attacks are just a few of the problems caused by obsessive compulsive disorder. The key here to overcoming any of these is held in being able to calm your mind. Developing your mental capacity to such a level that you can calm your mind, even just a little can go a long way to relieving some of the stress of these OCD based issues.


20 minute guided meditation is a short but effective way to begin this process. Meditation for overthinking, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks or anxiety are also great guided meditations to try for an all round sense of how to use meditations to calm your mind and relax your body. OCD meditations like this one will help target obsessive compulsive disorder directly but if your main problems stem from a more specific issue then be sure to try out some meditations that focus more specifically on those subjects. 


Remember to be gentle and kind to yourself. Half the battle in overcoming OCD or anxiety is in knowing how to deal with yourself and your own mind. Some days will be successful and others will be days to learn from. But you're on the right path so just keep going and step by step progress will come.
