Von Forbsie

Was du lernen wirst

Though this course we're going to talk about what anxiety is, how it shows up in the body and the mind, and what we can do to support ourselves when it does. We will introduce a trick to stop a panic attack, explore some mindfulness practices, get into the body, and work with the breath. Stress and anxiety happen to all of us at some point. My hope with this course is to provide some tools that you can use anywhere to support yourself in the moment and shift your experience.

Lektion 1

What Is Anxiety?

In this lesson we're going to define anxiety so we have a common place to begin. We're going to look at the ways it can show up - in the body and in the mind. Finishing with introducing a simple reset practice - one breath may be all you need.

Lektion 2

Panic Attacks And How To Handle Them

Here we're going to talk about panic attacks. If you've never experience one we'll prepare you to recognize it in yourself or someone else. If you have, we'll help you navigate the possibility of another more easily. Providing a couple of simple tools we can use as soon as we realize what's happening to interrupt it and bring someone (or ourselves) back to calm centredness.

Lektion 3

Mindfulness And Grounding To Reduce Stress And Anxiety

This lesson introduces some mindfulness and grounding practices that anyone can use anytime to help reduce their stress and anxiety levels. These practices can be done daily to invite more calm, relaxation, and presence into our lives. Focusing out, focusing in, and connecting with the earth to help us be more in the present moment.

Lektion 4

Shake It Out (Literally)

Up next we're getting into the body and experimenting with the simple somatic practice of shaking. Literally shaking it out, getting the body moving to help get into stuck energy so it can move, be expressed, and released. Dance like nobody's watching! This lesson includes the track On The Road (Momentology Remix) by DJ Taz Rashid.

Lektion 5

Let's Breathe

We've worked with the mind and the body now we're going to connect the two working with the breath. We breathe without thinking about it but we can also consciously control it. We'll learn a couple practices for working with the breath here to invite in balance and relaxation. There are moments of silence in this lesson to experience the feel of your breath in your body. Inhale. Exhale. Let's go!

Lektion 6

A bit of presence, a body scan, connecting with the breath, some movement, and music - Gold Flow (Momentology Remix) by DJ Taz Rashid. Bring your curiosity and playfulness and let's see what happens.
