RAIN on Anxiety

In this meditation I gently guide us through a RAIN practice designed to give us a set of tools to work with anxiety. With a practice such as this one, we may come to understand the difference between the emotion and the reactivity which arises to that emotion. In that understanding we can free ourself from harmful reactive patterns. This practice was designed by Michelle McDonald and modified by Tara Brach.  RAIN= R=Recognize A=Allow I=Investigate N=Nurture.  Chris has been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books.
