COURSE

The End Of Anxiety

In this transformative 7-part meditation series, we step onto the path of understanding, healing, and overcoming anxiety. Each lesson begins with a lighthearted joke, setting a comforting tone as we embark on our journey. From acknowledging and accepting anxiety to exploring its roots, from working with ruminating thoughts to discovering the purpose behind our anxious feelings, this series guides us towards a state of inner calm and empowerment. Through gentle guidance and introspective exercises, we learn to embrace discomfort, heal past wounds, and cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves. With each meditation, we gain insights, develop resilience, and find the strength to move beyond anxiety towards a more purposeful and joyful life.

Lesson 1

Navigating The Journey From Anxiety To Inner Peace

In our first lesson you will learn to understand and work through anxiety by relaxing into the present. This session demystifies anxiety and its various forms, emphasizing its root in future worries or past ruminations. Through a unique 'golden orb of light' visualization, we'll learn to reclaim our energy from these time zones and anchor it back into the now. By the end, you'll have a deeper awareness of your anxiety and an effective tool to start tackling it, step by step.

Lesson 2

The Four-Step Process For Healing Anxiety

Today's focus is a 4-part approach that may feel counterintuitive: allowing ourselves to fully experience anxiety. This lesson guides you towards developing a new relationship with anxiety – no longer seeing it as a problem, but as an ally in the journey of self-awareness. Here, we don't just observe anxiety but actively engage with it, peeling it back, layer by layer. Today we realize that anxiety, when approached with curiosity and acceptance, becomes an opportunity for inner transformation.

Lesson 3

The Empathic Meditator: Releasing Other People’s Anxiety

Highly sensitive people often absorb the emotional and mental energy around them, which can lead to feelings of anxiety. While sensitivity can be an incredible asset, it's also important to learn how to manage it to avoid becoming overwhelmed. This lesson will help you understand your personal patterns of absorption and teach you to release energies that do not serve you. Whether you find that you’re mentally or emotionally spongy, or perhaps a combination of both, you will learn tools to help regulate your empathic tendencies, and reduce anxiety.

Lesson 4

The Two Most Important Approaches Towards Anxiety

Today we start by being inspired by the Buddhist teachings of wisdom and compassion, which we translate here into the simpler terms of awareness (realizing the presence of emotions without being consumed by them) and acceptance (embracing these emotions instead of judging ourselves for having them). We use these aspects of our being to approach anxiety in a new and healing way.

Lesson 5

Breaking The Cycle Of Ruminating Thoughts

In the fifth lesson of our anxiety series, we explore the concept of ruminating thoughts - those persistent thoughts that cycle through our mind and often contribute to our anxiety. Instead of trying to suppress these thoughts or push them away, we invite them in and learn from them. By allowing these thoughts to surface, we aim to understand what they're trying to tell us, whether there's a message they're delivering or something they're trying to teach us. We strive to turn these recurring thoughts into friends and messengers, rather than viewing them as enemies to be defeated.

Lesson 6

Uncovering The Roots Of Anxiety

It’s time to uncover the roots of our anxiety. Drawing a parallel to a tree with its hidden roots, our anxiety may originate from deep within our unconscious mind. Our perception of anxiety might be just the surface layer, akin to radiation emanating from buried pain. By delving inward, we explore the true origins of our anxiety, often discovering underlying causes such as childhood trauma or unaddressed emotional energy. This meditation encourages us to embrace discomfort and realize that anxiety is a symptom, not the root cause.

Lesson 7

From Anxiety To Purpose

In the final lesson of our series, we delve into the transformation from anxiety to purpose. Recognizing that anxiety can serve a deeper purpose, we explore the idea that anxiety is not here to punish us but to teach us valuable lessons. By embracing discomfort and understanding the underlying purpose of our anxiety, we can shift our perspective and view it as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Through introspection and meditation, we uncover the gifts and insights that lie within our anxiety, envisioning a life filled with purpose and the positive impact we can make in the world.

It wasn’t easy but I got though it. I felt myself resisting, but now at least I am aware that I am doing this. One step at a time.

I fortunately have conquered much of my anxiety over the past few years with daily meditation, but there are still triggers that bring on anxiety at times. This course helped me bring those triggers to the surface and I was able to identify what they were and where they stem from. This was such a beneficial 7 days in my journey, and I am grateful to have spent the past week here! David does an amazing job of bringing a light heartedness to the meditation setting, his sense of humor and the way he speaks to you creates a safe space. It feels like spending time with a good friend that speaks directly to you and is able to help you confront the feelings and emotions within. I have done many of David’s courses, and this was another great one. Thank you, David!
