About this listen
Guided audio practices to stop fighting your anxiety and start working with it as an untapped source of energy, focus, foresight, and productivity.
Are you struggling with anxiety? If so, you've probably tried the usual options - distraction, repression, medication, exercise, or just trying to ignore it. But anxiety evolved to help us. And when we know how to work with it, this powerful emotion gives us the clarity and motivation to complete our tasks and fulfill our goals.
Join acclaimed educator, researcher, and author Karla McLaren to transform your relationship with anxiety by:
- Strengthening your boundaries to create a safe and calm personal space
- Conscious complaining - an emotional channeling process to help you regulate your anxiety and reveal its important information
- Burning old "contracts" to bring your emotions back to natural balance
- Resourcing - to comfort and empower yourself with somatic healing methods
- Conscious questioning - a self-inquiry process for accessing the insights and energy of anxiety and more
"When you identify, listen to, and act on anxiety skillfully, you support its purpose," teaches McLaren, "and allow it to recede naturally until it is needed again." Practices for Embracing Anxiety shows you the way, step by step.

A marvel of evolution is that humans are not solely motivated by their desire to experience positive emotions. They are also motivated, and even driven to achieve, by their attempt to avoid or seek relief from negative ones. What Motivates Getting Things Done: Procrastination, Emotions, and Success explains how anxiety is like a highly motivating friend, why you should fear failure, and the underpinnings of shame, distress, and fear in the pursuit of excellence.

Story
Every emotion—even shame, anger, and anxiety—brings us vital information and wisdom. “Too often, we either repress our feelings or let them run wild,” says researcher and educator Karla McLaren. “What many of us were never taught are the fundamental skills for honoring and understanding our profound, powerful emotions.” In this new edition of The Language of Emotions, McLaren takes us much deeper than naming or managing our feelings—she teaches us to listen to the messages within each emotion, reflect on their questions, and incorporate their wisdom into our lives.

"Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering," says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork - all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach's 20 years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.

Reverse Meditation is for anyone who wants to bring the challenges of life onto the path of awakening. When things get hard, it’s time to turn your practice on its head—and throw out any assumption that meditation exists to insulate you from the confusion, difficulties, and uncertainty of life. “By putting your meditation into reverse,” Holecek teaches, “you’ll actually find yourself going forward. Step into your pain and you can step up your evolution.”

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?
