Mindfulness Meditation for Anxiety
Mindfulness meditation is the ultimate tool for being fully present in the moment without judgment or labeling. If you're struggling with anxiety, it may seem counterintuitive to focus on your internal, present-moment experiences.

Today, clinical psychologist and anxiety expert Dr. David Carbonell provides effective step-by-step instructions for a simple mindfulness meditation for anxiety. These instructions are from his popular audiobook, "Panic Attacks Workbook: A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick (Second Edition)".
