[00:12:57] for visualize the anxious part as a separate part of you giving it a distinct image a symbol color cartoon character or a younger version of [Music] yourself the anxious part holds wisdom and you want to find out what that wisdom

[00:14:00] is Imagine The anxious part is approaching you to have a conversation it's been trying to protect you and it wants to be seen and heard for its desire to help how do you feel toward the anxious [Music] part check in with your feelings toward this part if you sense openness curiosity Compassion or care express that to the anxious [Music] part if you're not feeling anything positive toward it you can simply ask

[00:15:03] those feelings and parts to step back so you can access your core [Music] self when you're ready ask the anxious part what its intention is to help you or protect you this is different than how it goes about trying to protect you which is often not helpful so focus on its intention explore what it's like to understand

[00:16:13] this part and its desire to help you [Music] next ask the anxious part what it fears

[00:17:50] you would feel or experience if it didn't make you anxious this question often reveals the pain it strives to Shield you [Music] from check in with how you're feeling toward this part [Music] now how would you like to respond to

[00:19:59] conversation and kindly ask the anxious part to give you some space for the remainder of the [Music] meditation Now scan your body and identify a place that feels calm or relaxed even if it's a small area like the tip of your nose fingers or [Music] toes Focus focus on that sensation without trying to make anything happen

[00:21:03] stay open and curious noticing what naturally [Music] unfolds take one more minute to focus on the

[00:22:11] relaxed sensation and notice what [Music] happens now Envision a time when both the

[00:23:18] anxiety and the pain it protects are already healed the incredible power and resilience of your core self has already helped the pain heal and the anxiety [Music] relax picture yourself living free from anxiety

[00:24:37] what do you see and how does it feel within your [Music] body [Applause] visualize and experience a future where

[00:25:45] you are embodying your core self when you feel most like yourself [Music] see it and feel it in
