Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • When I try to relax, my mind has nothing to hold onto so it just fills back up with the same threat-scanning worry
  • My mind churns out worry and planning the moment I go quiet, and the spiritual-sounding chants feel like too much
  • Repeating a calming word alone doesn’t quite take me down
  • I can quiet my mind but I can’t seem to soften my heart on command, and I want something simple to hold onto
