Do you struggle with anxiety? Do you wake up feeling anxious and can’t seem to figure out why? We have good news for you… There are simple, yet powerful ways to manage your anxiety so that it doesn’t control your life from morning ‘til night. Let’s explore them!
In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra breaks down the psychology around anxiety and the different ways you can approach anxiety management from a spiritual perspective. She teaches you how to find the root of your anxious energy and move from overthinking to allowing the anxiety to move through and out of your body.
Especially if you’re a highly sensitive, empathic, or intuitive person, this episode will help you gain a different perspective of your anxiety and learn how to work with it, instead of against it. Remember, we’re all connected, so let’s manage this together.
“[Anxiety] doesn’t have to be challenging. It doesn’t have to be this thing that we are afraid of and that we make into an ocean. Most people don’t know how to react to anxiety, they make it an ocean, even though it’s a pond or a river.”
– Xandra Hawes
Topics Discussed:

· 2 major reasons why you might be experiencing anxiety in the morning.

“When you’re a sensitive and empathic person, you can feel energy at higher levels. So, if you’re in a community or a collective or a culture or a belief system that is going through something hard, you are not separate from it. You’re going to feel it. And that’s why, when we do healing work on ourselves, we heal other people and vice versa.” – Xandra Hawes
