Get calm now.

Years ago during yoga teacher training, my instructor shared a foolproof method to get control

of runaway emotions and anxiety by getting on the floor and raising your legs up the wall.

I invite you to find a blanket or pillow

and place it at the base of an open space on the wall,

right on the floor where the wall meets the floor. Now gently sit down beside the blanket and slowly lie on your

back and then scoot your bottom on top of the blanket while lifting

and resting your legs up the wall. Don't worry if this feels awkward at first.

Chances are it probably will.

Just do your best and be sure your upper body to your hips is on the floor

with your lower back supported, while the lower half of your body is supported in resting

legs together up the wall.

If having your legs together is not comfortable for you, you're welcome to bend your knees or

spread your legs apart, whatever's comfortable for you, just be sure that you're gentle with your movements and you can move your legs into any position you wish.

Once you get into a comfortable position, it's time to begin focusing on your breath.

Breathe in through your nose and feel the coolness of your breath flowing through your nostrils.

Breathe out through your nose and notice the warmth replacing the coolness.

Continue concentrating on your breath for another five or ten rounds of your breath.

In a matter of only a few rounds of your breath, you will begin to feel calm and centered.

Namaste. Do you feel mentally overloaded, confused or upset by setbacks and overcoming anxiety?
