Caring for yourself when the world is projecting division and sadness

#747 Welcome back to Anxiety Slayer. Last week we shared practices to help you feel more calm and relaxed during uncertain times including candle gazing. Candle gazing is a supportive way to calm your nervous system and bring the light into darker mornings.  Enjoy the meditation.   You can find more of our Guided Meditations and Tapping Sessions on our Patreon at patreon.com/anxietyslayer

#746: The headlines of the past six months have been heavy—full of division, brutality, and heartbreaking stories that can leave us feeling anxious, sad, or hopeless. In this episode of Anxiety Slayer, we explore how to care for your nervous system and emotional well-being in the midst of so much turmoil.

#745 This week on the Anxiety Slayer podcast, we explore the question, “Can the weather make my anxiety worse?” And talk about why Autumn, with its changing seasons, can be challenging for those with anxiety. We also share practical tips on how to take care of yourself during this seasonal change.

#744 This week on Anxiety Slayer we‘re talking about the “fiction” our minds create that can spin us into anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. We discuss how easily our thoughts can shrink us, how catastrophizing steals our peace, and, most importantly, the compassionate ways we can begin to rewrite those stories.

#741 This week on the Anxiety Slayer podcast we created a new guided relaxation to give you a break from the headlines and everything that feels heavy in the world right now. We hope you listen in and  come away feeling more calm and relaxed.   Narrated by Shann with music by Ananga.

#740 In this episode of Anxiety Slayer, we explore how to create a personal oasis and cultivate a sense of safety during chaotic and uncertain times.

This week on Anxiety Slayer, we are thrilled to share a new conversation with Dr. Dain Heer. Dain is the co-creator of Access Consciousness. Shann and Dain discuss the anxiety and fragmentation that so many of us experience and how these ungrounded energies hide our miraculousness. We talk about how easy it is to identify with anxiety, with contraction, or with the pain we carry in our bodies. And did you know that our limitations are often a protective shell, hiding the miracle that we are?  Learn practices and powerful questions to open up more choice and freedom, like: “What am I pretending not to be, that if I were, would set me free?” Just sitting with this invitation/question creates more space around anxiety and self-judgment. If you’re feeling caught in a loop of anxiety, you’re not alone. The first step to changing your experience isn’t about fixing yourself, but allowing yourself to expand beyond old definitions, even if it feels unfamiliar. There is so much more to you than anxiety, panic, or any label you carry. You are a miracle! Join Dr. Dain and Access Consciousness facilitators and students around the globe on June 22nd for Being You Day.   

#738 In this week's Anxiety Slayer podcast, we're responding to the questions we are asked most about anxiety attacks. How can I stop anxiety attacks if I don’t know what’s causing them? Why do I feel unsettled for a few days after an anxiety attack? How can I stop the fear of an attack? Is it normal to feel nauseous and light-head with a panic attack? Can anxiety attacks be stopped without medication?   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE EFT Tapping for calming anxiety
