Lesson 5

Choose How You Respond To Your Anxious Mind

Each time we intentionally take ourselves to our safe place in the mind, we are feeding the wolf of peace and calm. The parable of the two wolves demonstrates the importance of nurturing positive emotions and behaviours in order to strengthen "the good wolf" and train the brain to experience less worry and fear.

Lesson 6

Letting Go Of Worry & Returning To Inner Calm

You will need 15 minutes for this mindfulness practice. Here, we will use the feet as an anchor to assist in feeling more grounded and present. Worry can feel like mental clutter, and this practice will help anchor attention away from the mind and into the lower body. In this meditation, you’ll learn to recognize those visiting thoughts of worry and gently return to the quiet, steady awareness that lives beneath them.

Lesson 7

Carrying Calm Forward

As you arrive at this final lesson, take a moment to pause and acknowledge how far you have come. You've learned to meet worry with awareness and to steady your mind through gentle grounding practices, reframing your thoughts along with action where possible. The aim now is not to banish worry, but to carry your calm forward. I hope this course will help you to move through life with greater balance, compassion, and trust in your ability to soothe your anxious mind whenever it stirs.
