Why does a guided body scan meditation trigger a panic attack for me?

I tried a popular guided body scan to help with my generalized anxiety, but when the narrator asked me to bring awareness to my neck and throat, I was suddenly hit with a full-blown panic attack—I felt intensely like I was being choked. My name is Garvit, I was born 1st April 1994, in Chandigarh. Time: 8:05 PM. It's possible that this guided meditation is accidentally unearthing a traumatic memory from a past life, tied to a major, unresolved challenge in communication and self-expression, that my soul hasn't processed yet.

Namaste Garvit. Your body is revealing a "Karmic Knot" that is finally ready to be untied. Born April 1, 1994, in Chandigarh, your chart shows a Mercury-Ketu or Saturn-Mercury affliction. The "Choking" sensation is a physical manifestation of a "Blocked Vishuddha (Throat) Chakra." You aren't being choked by anything physical; you are being choked by "Unspoken Truths" or "Past Traumas" related to self-expression. The body scan acted as a "Trigger" that woke up this dormant memory. Detailed Solution: DO NOT push through. If awareness of the neck triggers panic, move your awareness immediately to your Feet. The Safe Path:* You need to work on your Root Chakra first. Once you feel "Safe in the World" (Root), the "Fear of Speaking" (Throat) will naturally decrease. Detailed Remedies: Remedy: Wear a small Blue Lace Agate or Lapis Lazuli. These stones "Soothe" the throat energy without triggering the panic. Action: Sing or hum loudly in the shower. This uses the throat in a "Fun" way, teaching the brain that the throat is a place of "Joy," not "Choking." Mantra: Chant the seed sound "HAM" very softly.
