Welcome to this Calm Your Anxiety Course!
Mindfulness is a natural antidote to anxiety because it’s a practice of attending to the present moment and meeting our experience in the moment with gentle acceptance. In this way, mindfulness has the power to help us form a new relationship with future-oriented fears. As we observe our reactions and fears and become more familiar with them, we can investigate elements of those experiences with greater care and objectivity. There’s a great deal of power in becoming aware of how we perceive challenges, demands, and expectations.
In this course you will learn practices and meditations to assist you in calming your anxious mind.
If you need assistance, please reach out and I will be happy to answer your questions.
I wish you peace,
Deb Phelps

In this course, you will find how Mindfulness is a natural antidote to anxiety. You will experience it as a practice of attending to the present moment and meeting our experience in the moment with gentle acceptance.
In this way, mindfulness has the power to help us form a new relationship with future-oriented fears. As we observe our reactions and fears and become more familiar with them, we can investigate elements of those experiences with greater care and objectivity.
There’s a great deal of power in becoming aware of how we perceive challenges, demands, and expectations. Practicing mindfulness and being present with whatever is emerging in your experience, moment to moment, opens the door to interrupting these kinds of cycles of reactivity.
When you can notice your experiences without identifying with them, this creates more space and less judgment, allowing you to become a scientist, curious about your life, rather than a victim of circumstances. With practice, you can strengthen your ability to recognize that a thought is just a thought, an emotion is just an emotion, and bodily sensations are just bodily sensations. All will eventually pass.
In this course you will learn practices and meditations to assist you in calming your anxious mind.
