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. Send us a text!Support the showIf you enjoy the benefits of Exploring Peace Meditations:Check out Whitney's books: With God in Every Breath, Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit and Fully Human, Fully DivineConnect with others who support the podcast at ExploringPeace.com/community Follow our host @WhitneyRSimpson and @ExploringPeaceMeditations Review the podcast, then share, like & listen! Since you always ask, here are some of Whitney's favorite yoga props.
