The brick wall

Hello friends,

I recently hit a giant wall studying the Dao through literature and spiritual practice. I got advise to purchase Louis Komjathy's translation of the Daode jing from my professor, and it tore that wall down, allowing me to continue.

The question i have is:

When you guys have hit a road block persuing the Dao, what tools or advise have you used that you can share to me and others in similar roadblocks.

Hello,

To put it straight. I suffer with anxiety that completely takes over my mind and wellbeing, aswell as the infamous ruminating mind. I have begun using what I learned from Taoism to return to that peace and try to understand where these emotions and thoughts come from. I know its like building muscle, it takes time.

What I want to know is how you guys view anxiety and how you disapate/ manage it when anxiety arises. Aswell as some meditative practices to follow.

Peace and love.
