Welcoming Anxiety

Those of us who frequently feel anxious, really wish we didn't. And when anxiety arises, we WISH it would go away. Of course we do. Unfortunately resistance of anxiety doesn't usually help because it's kind of like layering tension on top of tension. This, in and of itself isn't wrong, and we can't really avoid it; If we want it to go away, we just DO and there's nothing we can do about that. So in this exploration we experiment how to allow anxiety to be here, as best we can, as well as our resistance to it, while also expanding our awareness to the space in which no anxiety exists. By broadening our focus the anxiety is more free to relax on its own. This episode brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leah Pearlman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Welcoming Way⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
