What you'll learn:
Session 1: Understanding Anxiety
Begin this series by discovering what anxiety is and why it's perfectly normal to feel anxious as a human being. You'll learn how mindfulness is not focused on getting rid of or running from the anxiety, as that is what makes it worse.
Session 2: You Are Not Your Anxiety
You and your anxiety are two different things. You could call yourself awareness, energy or the transcendent self. From this perspective, you don't have to say 'I am anxious' and instead can say 'I am noticing the feeling of anxiety'.
Session 3: The Power of Acceptance
Understanding true acceptance isn't giving up - it's opening up. Why avoidance of anxiety leads to far more anxiety. When we skilfully welcome it, we can access new gifts.
Session 4: Unhooking From Unhelpful Thoughts
Explore the thoughts that are underlying your anxieties. Try out a few different techniques to unhook from your unhelpful thoughts.
Session 5: Staying Present Using Your Body
Discover a body scan to identify, listen to, and befriend anxiety. This kind and curious approach develops a flexible awareness to skilfully welcome anxiety.
Session 6: Transforming Your Relationship With Anxiety in Your Body
Explore the sensation of anxiety in your body. Cultivating a sense of kindness and curiosity with the feeling, before it overwhelms you.
Session 7: Making Friends With Anxiety
Have a metaphorical cup of tea or coffee with your anxiety. By engaging and welcoming with your anxiety you learn to get this powerful emotion on your side.
