> I've been trying some accupressure (tapping) to help relieve anxiety with some mixed results. I really have to practice it a lot more to judge it definitively. I've been meaning to meditate regularly but haven't been disciplined enough. I've often found that focussing on my breath has made me more anxious and so I've been putting off dealing with it or trying to work through that.

> KBoy, I can relate to that. I've been trying to meditate for years and rarely manage it. One "how to" book I have talked about different forms of meditation and suggested simply dropping your gaze downward while keeping your head normally upright. The effect, which I find fascinating, is an automatic deep breath.
I have also tried acupressure via the book "Instant Emotional Healing" and can't make up my mind if it works or not. Since motivation is always a factor, I wonder if I feel better because I've become motivated enough to do it in the first place. There have been times though when I was sure it helped with acute anxiety.
I've also tried EFT via Dr. Mercola's website and am unsure about that too.
