Description
Guide to Anxiety Relief for Spiritual People "...a wonderful guide for anyone interested in awakening to a level of consciousness where anxiety simply does not exist." Leonard Jacobson, author of Journey into Now and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation Awakening from Anxiety author and counselor, Connie Habash, has helped hundreds of spiritual people like you overcome fear, experience anxiety relief, regain happiness, and feel calmer from within. Spiritual people can suffer from anxiety and depression too. Often, people on a spiritual path have high expectations for themselves-so much so that they become more susceptible to perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either don't work, don't last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety. The missing keys to managing anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash shows us a way to transform our perceptions using mindful awareness, to overcome fear, awaken from stress and worry, and deepen our spiritual awakening. In over 25 years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions. Discover: What anxiety is and when it becomes a problem The 6 mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxiety The 7 keys to a more calm, confident, courageous life How to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true self Spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace If you benefited from books such as Stop Anxiety from Stopping You; Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times; or First, We Make the Beast Beautiful; Awakening from Anxiety is a book you need to read.
A 2018 poll, conducted by the American Psychiatric Association, revealed that nearly 40% of Americans feel more anxious than last year. Anxiety is definitely on the rise in the US. Time magazine reports that almost 40 million Americans suffer from the disorder - and that's just those that are diagnosed, as anxiety disorders tend to be underreported (for example, the many Americans who have high-functioning anxiety). This book is addressing a strong need in the western world, one that is a hallmark of our times. Time magazine has reported that yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices has increased in the workplace in the last couple of years, and a similar CNN report shows that kids and adults are increasingly turning to these practices for mental health and stress management. These benefits of yoga and meditation have been researched and validated for years. However, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health recognizes that yoga is helpful for some symptoms of anxiety and depression in stressful life situations, but has not been shown to help in managing anxiety disorders. Some missing pieces need to be added to the puzzle that Awakening from Anxiety can provide. Awakening from Anxiety appeals to the burgeoning self-help industry as well as the spiritual growth movement. With more Americans now saying that they're spiritual rather than religious, and seeking out non-denominational, non-religious paths to develop spirituality, Awakening from Anxiety is poised to appeal to this growing American trend towards "spiritual but not religious." Awakening from Anxiety is written especially for women, ages 35-60: the main market for personal and spiritual growth books. Most of the examples in the book are of women dealing with and overcoming common fears and worries. Awakening from Anxiety speaks right to their pain, and how to release it. As a licensed psychotherapist and yoga teacher with more than 25 years in both fields, Rev. Connie lends credibility to transforming anxiety as well as spiritual practice that many authors and personal coaches may not have. There are many magazines and online communities focused on personal and spiritual growth that attract thousands of visitors and members, such as: https://theshiftnetwork.com, http://www.oprah.com/app/super-soul-sunday.html, https://www.yogajournal.com, and https://spiritualityhealth.com.
About the Author
Rev. Connie L. Habash, MA, LMFT, has been passionate about personal and spiritual growth since her youth. Her journey took her through healing her own anxiety and depression, as well as supporting hundreds of others in awakening from fears, worry, and despair. Many fields interested her in college, but an epiphany revealed that psychology brought them all together. She received a Master's in Counseling Psychology from JFK University in 1994, and became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in 1999. Always seeking the great perennial truths, she has studied and explored many spiritual traditions. Rev. Connie discovered yoga in 1991, and immediately she knew she wanted to teach; two years later, that dream was realized. Her love of sharing universal, spiritual principles led her to seek ordination as an Interfaith minister in 2012. Rev. Connie regularly leads classes, workshops, women's groups, yoga teacher trainings, and retreats, and has a counseling practice in Menlo Park, CA. She has been quoted in the Huffington Post, Reader's Digest, NBCNews.com, Psych Central, and Thriveworks, and has featured articles on Elephant Journal and NY Times best-selling author Mike Dooley's TUT website. Her orientation towards personal and spiritual growth integrates body, mind, heart, and spirit from her years of experience on the yoga mat and in the therapist chair.
