Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I guide listeners through a profound journey of exploration into the concept of stillness and its availability within us. The conversation revolves around recognizing the innate peace that we often chase externally, emphasizing the idea that true calm resides within and is merely a return to that inner space. With the backdrop of today's uncertain world, many of us may feel unmoored or anxious, searching for stability where it often seems elusive. I reflect on this human experience, reminding everyone that what we seek—safety and serenity—may already be a part of who we are.

During this episode, I invite listeners to engage in a guided meditation aimed at cultivating stillness and tranquility. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jerry Thomas of Still Point Retreats, I introduce the powerful notion that "stillness is not something we create, it is something we return to." I encourage everyone to set aside a dedicated time for this meditation, ideally when they can find a quiet moment to close their eyes and fully immerse themselves in the experience. The meditation is not merely an auditory exercise; it is an invitation to engage actively with one’s breath, body, and mind to unlock a deeper layer of peace.

I also provide practical techniques for anchoring ourselves in the present moment, such as sitting quietly for two minutes without the pressure of self-improvement or allowing our breath to flow naturally like a wave. These are tools meant to ground listeners as they navigate their feelings of discomfort or restlessness. By gently guiding the attention to various points in the body—such as the nose, belly, or the ground beneath us—I illustrate how we can find stillness amidst the chaos of life. This practice serves as a reminder that we do not have to chase the peace we desire; instead, we simply need to pause and return to the quiet foundation that exists within.
