0:08.0	And welcome back to part three of our seven part series on how to manage anxiety. Now if you're just joining us no
0:18.2	worries you haven't missed anything you can go back and listen to the previous two episodes we've released, and you can
0:28.4	certainly listen to this episode and get everything you need so the episodes don't necessarily follow any sequence.
0:37.0	In each episode I share a different meditation technique that you can use, whether you're seated meditating or whether you are out and about in your day encountering stress and this is often where you most likely will use many of the
