Dear Ale:

You read somewhere that anxiety is a gift? I disagree. As you know anxiety is very uncomfortable. No one, I believe, in the whole wide world would want anxiety, invite it in any way, or experience it voluntarily for one second.

The practice of living in the present, such as in guided meditation takes a lot of practice. You start and experience calm maybe for one minute- that is good enough. You practice daily and the time of experiencing calm will increase. You have to be patient and persistent as the progress is very slow and there will be days and nights of no progress at all.
