Anxiety disorder is the most common mental illness, and I would argue that everyone has anxiety to some extent these days. With the current state of the world, extended screen time, and more demands on us to fulfill different roles and meet higher standards there is mental overload. Meditation is a powerful practice in general but can work wonders for anxiety. 

Some of the benefits of meditation for anxiety include:

  • reversing the damage caused by anxiety on the brain

  • breaking the negative thought patterns

  • altering the way the brain and body respond to stress

  • balancing brain chemicals

  • helping direct the focus on something less stressful

  • bringing you back to the present moment

  • reducing negative emotions

  • reducing the stress hormone Cortisol

  • enhancing a healthier self-awareness

  • increasing memory and mental quickness

  • improving sleep (should be at the top of the list)

  • decreasing blood pressure

In this episode:

  • I explain what anxiety is and its symptoms on all parts of our being

  • I guide you through a meditation that includes a unique and effective breathing technique, and a mantra segment that is powerful to shift your focus and ease the body and mind

  • There will be 8 minutes of silence while you continue to breathe and be while a safe container is held for you

I would LOVE to hear how it goes for you!

Much LOVE!

This episode is on a topic that mystifies many. There is a general feeling that only energy healers and mystics are intuitive, but in reality, we are all intuitive.

In this episode I discuss:

It is through intuition, that you take your power and you life back, with relationships, work, and your actions. You are after all, an intuitive being.
