Meditation: Tackles Anxiety through Awareness
Mindful Awareness: Meditation cultivates a state of mindfulness, where you focus on the present moment and observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This allows you to see your anxieties and worries for what they are – passing thoughts – rather than getting caught up in them. Ron Roberts, a certified meditation coach, will teach you to detach from negative thought patterns and reduce your anxiety. Meditation keys to reducing anxiety:
- Reduces stress hormones: Meditation helps regulate the production of cortisol, a stress hormone, which will lower anxiety levels.
- Improves emotional regulation: By observing your emotions mindfully, you can respond to life’s situations more effectively.
- Increases self-awareness: Meditation enhances your awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Self-awareness will help decrease anxiety levels.
- Promotes focus: Meditation strengthens your ability to focus your attention and avoid distractions.
Neurodynamic Breathwork: Targets Anxiety by Quieting Your Nervous System
Physiological Shift: By using specific breathing patterns, Neurodynamic Breathwork increases oxygen intake triggering body’s relaxation response. This lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol (stress hormone) levels, mimicking the opposite of the anxious “fight-or-flight” state.
Here’s how it works:
- Emotional Release: Breathwork can stir up and release pent-up emotions that might be contributing to anxiety. This process is guided by Ron Roberts, a certified breathwork practitioner, to facilitate emotional release and growth.
- Nervous System Regulation: Neurodynamic Breathwork is rooted in the understanding of the nervous system. The breathwork exercises are designed to stimulate the nervous system in a way that promotes its ability to shift out of anxious states and into a calmer, more balanced one.
- Neuroplasticity: The theory is that with repeated practice, Neurodynamic Breathwork can help rewire neural pathways in the brain. Over time, this can lead to a lasting reduction in anxiety and a greater ability to manage stress. Meditation combined with breathwork will help you conquer your anxiety and live a calm, focuses and more stress free life.
