Points covered in this episode
Wisdom teachings from Ayurveda (India’s ancient science of life) on the nature of the mind and why we suffer with looping anxious thoughts.
“We are not our minds, our thoughts aren’t truths and you are not crazy or alone in this.”
How we develop a running narrative that believes and supports our fear thoughts, and how to stop it.
Why resisting and trying to force our thoughts to stop only increases the energy of anxiety, and what to try instead.
F.E.A.R. is usually False Evidence Appearing Real
Our body doesn’t know the difference between real or imagined fear, once a thought takes root in our mind the body has to respond.
With calming skills like EFT Tapping we can dissolve the fear and take our body down from fight or flight.
