29: Befriending Your Anxiety With Betsy Grimm

Betsy Grimm joins us today for a fascinating and informative conversation around anxiety, our thinking mind, and how to calm yourself. Betsy brings a wide breadth of training in the healing arts and provides practical takeaways for dealing with anxiety - both the tools that she has learned through her professional training and applied to her own life. Breathing practices, mudras, and other ways of connecting to yourself are offered in today’s podcast!EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):Anxiety as biological and our nervous systems aren’t set up to deal with modern lifeHow yoga helps us transcend the limitations of the mindHow to intervene early in an anxious stateHow to find a practice tailored to your needsMantras that help with anxiety and fearA ‘worry’ practice and positive thinkingAbout The Guest:Betsy Grimm is a somatic based practitioner trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. She is a Yoga 500hr YT and has trained in Radiant Body Yoga, Kundalini and Yoga for Mood Management. She teaches yoga and meditation and loves sharing transformational tools that have been lifelines on her path. Her own anxiety, depression, ptsd, and blatant desperation led her to out-of-the-way healing places her former self would’ve rolled her eyes at! Her spiritual wanderings include exploring yoga’s rich breathwork, mantra, meditative and bhakti practices as well as Continuum Movement, ecstatic dance, bodywork, sweatlodges, ritual, guided work with sacred medicines, prayer and deepening connections with nature.Find Betsy here:https://www.betsygrimm.com/Betsy’s Yoga Tools on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpOLHBWgAcYdz3BfzfB6RYwWorry practice www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprrUm8iJzE&t=4sHow to find a Hakomi practitioner:https://hakomiinstitute.com/directory/directory-introReferences within Podcast:https://www.kiamiller.com/https://thework.com/About the Host:Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion to the world.
