Overcoming Our Fears Yoga Nidra Meditation
by Davina Ho
When we are aware of what events or situations cause anxiety… or if we are experiencing anxiety and don’t know what’s causing it… we can make a conscious choice to train our mind, body, and nervous system to remain calm, grounded, and at peace. De-sensitising ourselves from a scary experience requires courage to face our fears… and self-awareness to choose a different way of being… in this meditation, you can choose an event or situation that is causing you anxiety and learn to cultivate the opposite or ideal emotion… we’ll be using an upward spiral of emotions… when we can recognize, accept, and self-regulate our overwhelming emotions we feel empowered as individuals to support our own mental health and well-being… Repeat this meditation as often as you need… and if your anxiety is related to something specific I also recommend you work with meditation 3-4 weeks ahead of it.
