In times of uncertainty, it's easy to worry about what's next.
Unlike its cousin anxiety, which arises out of fear of not knowing what will happen, worry is more creative.
Worry is the fear that something bad is going to happen and that by thinking ahead you can somehow protect yourself from future pain.
Worry often arises when there's an accumulation of the pathogenic factor known as dampness according to Chinese Medicine. Dampness can accumulate through a poor diet as well as through excessive thinking and overstimulation — all of which may (legitimately) be more familiar to you lately.
Dampness weakens the function of your Spleen and Stomach, the primary organs of digestion that need extra support during times of change and uncertainty. When these organs are compromised you can experience weight gain, poor digestion, overthinking, worry, and even obsession.
And while saying "don't worry" to someone who's worried is probably the worst thing you can do, there are some tools that can help balance this pattern.
In this Yoga Integration practice, you’ll learn tools and practices that’ll help you transform your worry & overwhelm to optimism & ease.
