Facing Anxiety with awareness
- facing anxiety can be like facing up to a bully
Anxiety feels like an enemy, but it's a messenger
Tuning in to where anxiety affects your body
- sometimes we're so used to anxiety; we don't notice its effects on us
- it becomes a tangled sensation in our body and mind
- we try and push through and keep going
- but our avoidance causes more stress
- eventually, we become exhausted
What helps calm tangled anxiety?
Breathing into anxiety can be helpful in developing a sense of acceptance and calm awareness.
Ananga shares a simple heart-centred compassionate breathing practice.
