Become an Observer to Care for and Accept Your Anxiety - Episode 114 Awareness That Heals

Welcome to season three of the Awareness That Heals podcast, dedicated to exploring and healing specific challenging emotions.
In this episode, host Robert Strock focuses on anxiety. He offers a series of guided meditations to cultivate self-compassion and improve your ability to navigate anxious moments effectively. Using the metaphor of an elevator, Robert illustrates the progression from an unconscious state of anxiety on the first floor to acquiring tools for self-support and healing on subsequent levels.
On the second floor, the focus is on becoming aware of your anxiety and developing the capacity to care for it. By taking on the role of an observer, you not only perceive anxiety but also gain insights and tools to care for self-care. Recognizing yourself as the observer introduces a sense of freedom from your experiences, empowering you to pause during anxious moments while reflecting on the observation and increasing the capacity to tolerate and accept yourself as you are. The observer is independent of the anxiety itself and is a central point of being able to care and increase your acceptance. Through listening and practicing this guided meditation, you will learn to embrace the observer role. Don’t forget to download the free Introspective Guides for additional support.
