Release Fear And Anxiety, How To Call In The Light - with Dr. Mark Holmes

Fear has a way of shrinking our world until we can’t think straight, and that’s exactly why I wanted to share this conversation with Dr. Mark Holmes. We recorded it at the beginning of the pandemic, but the wisdom lands just as powerfully now: stress and anxiety aren’t only “in your head” they shape your body, your choices, and your immune system through what you repeatedly hold in your awareness.Dr. Mark, a doctor of oriental medicine trained in Chinese herbology and acupuncture, explains fear through the lens of Chinese medicine and the emotions. We talk about how early survival wiring can drive adult reactions, why doomscrolling and panic-sharing make us more susceptible, and how to stay informed without becoming over-responsive or over-responsible. He also shares a grounded spiritual practice you can adapt to your beliefs: asking for the highest good, surrounding yourself with light, and choosing images of healing over images of harm.You’ll also hear a clear, step-by-step “clearing technique” you can use after a stressful interaction, or any moment your mind starts spiraling. We close with themes that feel like medicine on their own: forgiveness, flexibility, movement, creativity, and the reminder that love is respect, support, and care in action.I'm so grateful for my time spent learning from Dr. Mark, and that I get to share his wisdom with you today.
