A Quick Reset For An Anxious Moment

A grounding mindfulness-based practice to reset the nervous system and rebalance the body and mind. Anxiety triggers the body’s stress response, releasing stress hormones and chemicals that give rise to the physical sensations of anxiety. This practice will help take you out of the ‘anxiety trance state’, ground you in the physical here and now, and allow you to release the stress caused by anxiety and regain emotional equilibrium. It combines grounding, mindfulness, breath awareness, self-kindness and positive affirmations. The soothing background music is ‘Reminisce’ by Jeremy Siegel
