## Resource

Stevens new course: Finding Peace in Everyday Life (you choose how much to pay) Support Stevens work and links to other podcasts: stevenwebb.uk Donate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Buy Steven a coffee Description: Meditation teacher Steven Webb offers a short grounding meditation for those moments when anxiety has already shown up. Rather than trying to push it away, you greet it. You sit with it. You ask it why it came, and you listen, the way you'd listen to a friend who turned up at the door looking pale. It's the practice of meeting an unwelcome feeling with curiosity instead of war. Who this meditation is for: Anyone with anxiety rising in the middle of a busy day People who have been told to "calm down" or "breathe through it" and found that doesn't reach the actual feeling Listeners who want a quick reset, not a long sit Anyone who has tried suppressing anxiety and found it gets louder Key benefits: A practical way to meet anxiety with curiosity rather than fight it A short reset you can do anywhere (bus, desk, car park, between meetings) A simple loving kindness close: may I be peaceful, may I be safe, may I trust this moment Pairs with this week's Stillness in the Storms episode on dropping the "I'm fine" armour If you'd like to contact Steven or support his work, go to https://stevenwebb.uk
