Anxiety rarely stays in our heads. It tightens our shoulders, knots our stomach, clamps our jaw, and shrinks our breath until everything feels like bracing for the worst. Make room for rest, and welcome God’s healing touch with kindness, not force. Find a quiet place (reclined or seated) and practice building conscious awareness with this Body Scan for when you’re anxious. A guided body scan meditation can help you notice what’s happening inside, without trying to force the calm. Send us a text!Support the showIf you enjoy the peaceful benefits of Exploring Peace Meditations, would you consider:Purchasing Whitney's books: With God in Every Breath, Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit and Fully Human, Fully DivineJoining our community to meet Whitney live at ExploringPeace.com/community Following our host @WhitneyRSimpson and @ExploringPeaceMeditations Reviewing the podcast, then share, like & listen! Shopping for Whitney's favorite yoga props.
