Anxiety Self Help
The physical, mental and emotional costs of anxiety are well known, yet in today's world, anxiety runs rampant. Anxiety keeps you from your sleep, interferes with your performance at work, puts strain on your relationships and robs you of joy. Anxiety is a spiritual malaise as well, since it prevents you from accessing your true identity and finding the grace to accept external stimuli without reacting to them.
That acceptance, that patience, is at the heart of the Christian ideal and is the basis for "Be Still and Know," a meditation technique developed by Roy Masters of the Foundation of Human Understanding. Anxiety is not something that comes from outside you. It is only your own reactions to events.
Often that reaction isn't even really yours, but is a conditioned response from your past. By practicing the guided meditation as little as 20 minutes daily, you can learn to understand your reactions, discern where they come from, and observe events and stimuli with objectivity. Detaching those negative emotions is not the same as denying or repressing them. Once you understand where they come from, you can simply choose not to use them any more.
The change such acceptance and detachment can make in your life is extraordinary. When anxiety dissipates, you gain clarity to make correct decisions. You are no longer the victim of a conditioned response, but meet each event with grace and confidence. Visit the FHU website today to download or order your guided meditation, and bid anxiety goodbye.
