Ten-Minute Anxiety Release

Anxiety tends to become a spiral where the mind overthinks, trying to find resolution and peace. This causes tension in the body and raises the level of stress hormones which lead to the physical symptoms of raised heart rate, sweaty palms, and even nausea. This cranks up the busy-ness of the mind as it tries to find peace, and so the anxiety spirals ever upwards.

Meditation is known to calm the thinking mind and relax the body, so reducing the stress hormones and reversing the spiral. Almost any meditation will help - the important thing is to practice often, ideally daily. But this is one that my clients find particularly helpful, so I am sharing it with you. I hope it does the trick.
