Question asked by Meg
Hi.
Ever since I was a child, and especially as a teenager, when I went to sleep, I was always awakened by a horrible feeling of fear. Not any normal fear, but completely mindless fear. It used to happen for a few weeks, then take a break, then happen again, and again and again.
Also, sometimes, I would feel this very, very strong 'vibrating' sensation all around me in the air, accompanied by this dizzy sensation like everything was shaking and there was some sort of buzzing sound in the background. I don't know how to explain, but once I also felt something very, very cold touch my face. It wasn't 'cold' exactly, but it felt like it.
I hope someone can help?
Dear Meg,
There are two very good practices which can help you in this situation. The first if the practice of Lama Tsongkhapa. This practice is extremely beneficial for calming the mind, especially during emotional time and in times of fear. The practice calls upon Lama Tsongkhapa who is the embodiment of the compassion, wisdom and spiritual power of all the Buddhas. During this practice you should concentrate on the recitation of his sacred mantra.
Coupled with this, you can engage in the practice of Dharma protector Dorje Shugden. This deity provides great protection from all forms of negativity whatever it may be. Again during this practice you should focus on the recitation of Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra.
Both these practices should help a lot with your situation. The key here is consistency every day. You should see an improvement.
These two practices have been compiled into a text known the Diamond Path, which you can find here: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/diamond-path-a-daily-sadhana-of-dorje-shugden

I hope this helps. Thank you.
