Cutting through Anxiety with Silence and Voice
Whether anxiety is provoked by health or financial concerns, family or relationship problems, the crazy political scene, or anything else, the feeling is all too familiar. When anxiety becomes chronic, it’s emotionally exhausting — it sucks the joy out of life. Fortunately, there are time-tested approaches for undercutting anxiety. In this evening program, we’ll focus on two of these approaches: the effortless, deep silence of natural meditation, and some simple vocal resonance techniques. Anyone can do them. You’ll learn how to practice them on your own, at the beginning or end of your day, as well as inconspicuous ways to apply them in the midst of activity. In this life, problems are inevitable, situations must be dealt with, but anxiety about them doesn’t help us deal — and it really can be dropped.
