Exercises To Calm Your Anxious Thoughts

Find your Heart!

Find your calm. Find your Heart.

Research shows that stress becomes stored in the body. Learning how to acknowledge bodily sensations and release emotional energy helps alleviate distressful bodily impact.

  • When you are grounded, your energy resides low and deep in your body, giving you a feeling of openness or relaxation.

  • When you are stressed or anxious, your energy rises up in your chest. You may feel uptight or flighty.

  • Your body already knows how to help you stay grounded. When bad news strikes, you unconsciously grab your chest to secure yourself. The Anchoring Heart Technique simply applies this innate body wisdom – applying it consciously.

  • Feel your heart, remind yourself of the love stored in your heart.

STEP 1

Place one hand or both hands firmly and tenderly over your heart. Breathe deeply.

STEP 2

Feel whatever you are experiencing, even if it’s just for a few seconds.

STEP 3

Take a moment to sense your BE-ing, that strong place inside you that has been carrying your distress.
