Meditation techniques to disconnect you from negative thoughts

Any practice of meditation is hardest to do when an individual is in a state of anxiety, as meditation is the opposite of anxiety.  Anxiety is the movement of too many thoughts and meditation is a stillness of no thought.  If you have the will power to sit down for five minutes and practice these meditation techniques, they will change the vibration of your system and disconnect you from your negative thought patterns which are eating up  your brain.
