The pitfall of journaling when you’re living with anxiety

#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

Anxiety may move through your mind and body, but it is not the whole of you. It’s just one part of your story — not your identity.   In today’s episode of Anxiety Slayer, we explore an empowering truth: you are so much more than the anxiety you experience.   Listen for inspiration, practical tools, and EFT Tapping prompts to help you reclaim your peace, and connect with your inner resilience.
