So, turn your panic into power by tuning in on this episode. Let your mind, body, and soul connect with that state of calmness and peace that you truly deserve with Ludmila today!
KEY POINTS:

• Reconnecting with your feminine/masculine energy
• Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘curious compassion’ and how it helps the body
• Ways how to deal with anxiety with your senses (like breath work)
QUOTABLES:
“If you are in fight-flight, meaning sympathetic nervous system response — that response is activated within your body, it will be very hard for you to have calming/supportive type of thoughts that can give you some kind of solutions for what you are really facing.”
“In this process of working with anxiety and understanding anxiety, you need to get out from your head and get into your body first – learning how to feel and sense. What are the sensations that I'm feeling in my chest? What are the sensations I'm feeling in my throat? I always advise you to close your eyes.”
