From Anxiety to Awakening

As spiritual folks, we aren’t exempt from the experience of anxiety. In fact, because we’re often more sensitive, earnest beings in our endeavor to grow and awaken, we may be more prone to it.

I know—I’ve experienced anxiety in a variety of forms, and I’ve worked with many people similar to me who long to feel calm and a sense of inner peace. Who have struggled with self-doubt, lack of confidence, stress, and fear. And I have shown them a way through the anxiety to live with more ease and courage, even in the face of the fear.

This first section is an introduction to anxiety and some particulars about how it may be different for the spiritual person. I’ll share with you my own journey from fear to serenity through stages in my life. Finally, you’ll read several examples from my clients over the years of how they’ve worked through their anxiety. I think you’ll find some common ground to reassure you that, indeed, you’re stepping onto a path to transform that anxiety—and your life—into a more calm, confident place within you.
