There is really no separation between mind and body, but it can be helpful to think of these things separately as a way to bring a little more balance to where we place our attention. Our minds are powerful and amazing tools. So much so that we can often forget that we have a body. This sort of disembodiment is the perfect breeding ground for anxiety. The body is what grounds us, so it’s crucial that we spend more time aware of the body we live in. A prompt that can be useful to explore is: Settle deeper than the thinking mind and into the feeling body. This doesn’t mean that you have to stop thinking (that’s pretty impossible), but rather, invite your attention to the sensations in the body.
