In this video, I walk you through a simple technique to melt your anxiety in 30 seconds.

First, I share a story about a client who has suffered from anxiety for years. One anxiety trigger of hers is heavy traffic. She used this practice in a traffic jam and instantly felt better.

I’d just taught her this technique a few days prior.

She said…

“I have a lot of anxiety about traffic. We went on a trip last weekend and traffic was terrible.

My body responded the way it always does: Inflammation, throbbing pain and numbness from the elbows down, chest tightens and breathing shallows.

I couldn’t run from it or bury it; I had to face it. I [did the practice]. Then I started to cry. I could feel my body ‘processing’.

The anxiety faded as the tears fell down my face.

I feel like I can guide myself to recognize my feelings as my choice again and been able to focus more on the good shit.”

Wow, right?!?!

Try out this practice to melt your anxiety!​

A few other ways you can practice this technique:

• One hand on your chest, one hand on your solar plexus.
  This connects your inner strength to your heart.
• One hand on your heart, one hand on your head.
  This is especially helpful if you have a very busy mind.
• Two hands on your heart.
  This will help you bring more of your compassion inward.
