Anxiety isn’t just “in your head.” It often shows up when the mind drifts away from the body, or when old pain and unprocessed emotions start to surface. In this video, we explore why anxiety arises and move through a gentle practice to help you reconnect, slow down, and meet the energy with presence instead of resistance.
