through transitions throughout your day so
that it becomes a healthy habit.
You can also ground your energies by tapping
your feet against the earth, carrying your
favorite gemstone in your pocket, or taking

pause in your day. A regular grounding
practice can help you remain calm when you

2 D Your
Heart
Space:
When you drop into your heart space, you
can remain emotionally calm like the eye
at the center of a tornado even as your
thoughts swirl around you. Focusing your
attention on your heart center doesn’t just
calm an anxiety-ridden brain; it also brings
your head (fear) and your heart (trust) into
energetic coherence. Just by bringing your
attention from your head to your heart, you
bring yourself into the peaceful present
where anxiety doesn’t exist.
Dropping into your heart space gives you
a break from your anxious thoughts and an
opportunity to recalibrate your energies. It
allows you to pause and tune in to what’s
going on within you.
Close your eyes and gently place a hand at
center of your chest. Take a few intentional
deep breaths, bring your attention to your
hand, and drop down into your heart space.
Take several deep breaths. Do this several
times until your heart opens and you feel a
shift in your breathing.

Feel the light filling your heart space and
expanding outward in all directions. Imagine
white light radiating out from your heart and
surrounding your body. Stay here as long as
long as you can. When your mind wanders or
anxious thoughts pop up, just let them move
across your mind like clouds across the sky.
Refocus your attention on your heart.

Anxiety-Soothing
Affirmations:
This sacred strategy builds trust in your
ability to respond rather than react to any
anxiety triggering thought or situation. It
not only shifts your thoughts from negative
to positive; it actually begins to change the
neuropathways in your brain.
You’ve had limiting beliefs, anxious thoughts,
and old stories playing in your head for
years. Anxiety-soothing affirmations help
release the negative energy, calm the
nervous system, and elevate your vibration.
Empowering affirmations bring your energy
down from the chatter of the brain into the
inner peace of your heart.
Close your eyes, drop into your heart center,
and quiet the mind. By tuning into your
heart, you come into a loving space of self-
awareness. Observe what anxious thoughts
come into your mind and the negative scripts
they trigger. Mindfully allow your thoughts to
