Mindfulness For Anxiety Relief

With Niloo Eskandari

Stress and anxiety can pull you out of the present moment and into cycles of tension, worry, and overwhelm. This 7-day course offers simple, practical mindfulness tools to help you reconnect with your breath, your body, and your inner steadiness. Each day guides you through gentle concepts and grounding practices that build clarity, calm, and emotional resilience — even in the middle of a busy or stressful life. Over the week, you’ll learn how to: • Build a foundational understanding of how anxiety affects the body and mind • Learn breath-based tools to shift the nervous system from stress to calm • Release physical tension through body awareness and grounding techniques • Observe thoughts without getting pulled into them • Practice gentle cognitive “unhooking” and letting-go skills • Strengthen the ability to pause before reacting • Develop a simple daily routine you can return to when emotions rise By the end of the course, you’ll have a personalized toolkit — a set of reliable, repeatable practices that help you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself.

Lesson 2

Releasing Tension In The Body

Today’s session guides you through a gentle body scan to help you recognize and release tension stored beneath awareness.

This practice builds sensitivity to early physical signs of stress, helping you respond with more ease.

Letting Go Gently
