The seeds of anxiety originate from a variety of sources: repeated trauma, an illness and /or chronic pain, hormonal or neurotransmitter imbalance, a mind caught in fear of the unknown future, and gut discordance among them.
How we skillfully work with our own and the mind and body of others, when anxiety takes root, and how we work with the mind and body beforeanxiety has had an opportunity to blossom, can come in many equally helpful forms. By developing mindfulness we can cultivate interoception or internal awareness to address the body before the anxiety spreads to the mind; we can cultivate kind attention and soothe the body where sensations of anxiety are being felt; intellectually, then experientially we can know and teach about how to recognize triggers and the progression of thoughts and emotions that ensue once anxiety begins.
Connecting the mind and body is pivotal in working with anxiety as is being able to separate and understand the relationship and roles both mind and body play.
