Can improving your kinesthetic awareness help calm down your nervous system?"    Craig presents a mind/body approach to these questions, attempting to answer them all in 15 minutes. The discussion includes the idea that muscle tension, fatigue and anxiety are often connected to each other - addressing one issue can help the others, but it doesn't necessarily replace the need to address the cause of each issue specifically.
