Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer series. Our mission is to assist you with creating more peace and tranquility in your life

through anxiety release exercises and supportive tools created to slay your anxiety. Hey everyone, this is Ananga.

Shann and I would like to share with you a heart-centered calming practice in this

week's podcast. It's one of the meditations available in our free anxiety slayer

starter course, something to help you relax and feel settled over the holiday weekend.

If you haven't enrolled in the course yet, you can find it and the rest of the meditations and teachings on getting started with slaying your anxiety at

anxiety slayer.teachable.com.

Take your right hand and place it over the center of your chest and then bring your left hand to cover the right.

So now you have both hands crossing over in the center of your chest area.

And don't round your shoulders too much, let them roll back and drop down.

Nice and relaxed. And bring your head down slightly, bring your chin down towards your chest,

if that feels good for you.

And just imagine that all your awareness,

all your attention, is going now to this area behind your hands.

Deep in the center of your chest in your heart area.

And you can notice your hands warming that place.

You can imagine that you're sending your gaze and looking right into

that area with the intention of slowing down, calming down, and offering yourself some care, some protection, peace of mind. Just make sure that you're comfortable. No tension in your neck, jaw,

mouth's relaxed, and just start taking slow deep breaths.

Keep your tension on your breath and feel your chest rising and falling under your hands and that's all you need to do.

Just notice your breath. Keep your attention in the center of your chest.

And if thoughts come to mind, then don't engage with them.
