Body Scan: When You're Anxious
from Exploring Peace Meditations · host Whitney R. Simpson
Anxiety rarely stays in our heads. It tightens our shoulders, knots our stomach, clamps our jaw, and shrinks our breath until everything feels like bracing for the worst. Make room for rest, and welcome God’s healing touch with kindness, not force. Find a quiet place (reclined or seated) and practice building conscious awareness with this Body Scan for when you’re anxious. A guided body scan meditation can help you notice what’s happening inside, without trying to force the calm.
