Hi Ingo :)
Wow! I feel for you. That is never a good feeling. Try not to let it get you down. On a positive note, its a learning experience right?
I have a little visualization that I use when my nerves let loose. I find that it helps to stop a slight case of nerves(which I personally like) from gaining momentum.
Here goes..
Close your eyes to block out external images
Imagine a square (fair sized but not huge and equal on all 4 sides)
As you tavel up the left side of the square slowly beathe in for a count of 5
As you travel across the top of the square hold that breath for the same count of 5
As you travel down the right side of the square, exhale for the count of 5
As you travel across the bottom of the square hold that exhale (do not breath in) for a count of 5
Resume your regular breathing pattern and slowly open your eyes
Do this about 3 or 4 times - no more or you will be in too much of a meditative state.
This is best used when you first feel your nerves picking up energy but it can be used at any time!
I hope this helps! I'll let you know if I think of anything else. :)
Take care
Elly
