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.

How to challenge your stress and anxiety by doing nothing.

It's getting harder to sit still, to watch the sky or sit with our thoughts,'s as if we've become allergic to space and we have to fill it,

with noise, with TV, with food or with chatter. But ultimately we don't feel good when we fill in all the gaps.

We start to feel stifled and unsettled, exhausted by our minds whose wheels are spinning 24-7.

We can't find peace because we've drowned it out for so long that we've forgotten

way to look for it again.

Every Tuesday night I lead a meditation class where people come to re-find peace,

to learn to sit quietly, counting their breaths, or trying simple meditation exercises,

they sit in candle-lit silence and begin their own journey into meditation.

Teaching others to do nothing has helped me enter more deeply into my own

meditation practice.

It's said that we teach best what we most need to know,

and helping others relax and quiet their minds

has helped me journey further into a contemplative space.

I've come to treasure.

At first, even a few minutes sitting in silence can seem like a long time.

Newbiz to the benefits of meditation often look a bit startled when I set them up with an exercise and say that we'll practice for 20 minutes.

But once they've sat with their practice, they feel happier.

They can see the benefits.
