5 Circles Mindfulness
5 Circles Mindfulness
Panic looks like the 5 Circles at the left.
Our definition: panic is the loss of presence of mind due to fear. It's the departure of the spirit from the body, not irrevocably or permanently (in most cases), or 100%.
The diagram shows Calm, Nervous, Scared, Terrified, Panicked.
The stick figure is the body. The circle is presence of mind.
Panic is a habit that began when a frightening experience occurred that was so painful, a person made the decision, "I never want to feel that again." Since then, s/he has "left" rather than feel it.
No one developed a habit to panic for a silly reason. It made all the sense in the world at the time the decision was made. But it's painful and far-reaching. Eventually, one wants more freedom. One derives their safety from avoiding the situation. They want to derive their safety from themselves .
Present the problem and we'll teach your organization how the 5 Circles can fix it.
