Is your anxiety through the roof lately?
Have the usual remedies—pausing to breathe, sitting in stillness, or pushing yourself into action—stopped offering real relief?
You’re not alone. And you’re not failing.
You may have noticed that going into (re)action mode doesn’t actually “absorb” anxiety, despite what it promises. Sure, doing something can bring temporary relief. It helps you reaffirm your agency. And that matters—you’re re-inserting yourself into the flow of life and the course of history.
But if you’re acting from a place of inner disconnection—still feeling lost or scattered inside—it can backfire. The anxiety doesn’t dissolve. It compounds.
On the other end of the spectrum, just sitting with anxiety in mindful presence can feel impossible. For some, it makes the storm feel louder. And finding calm in a world that feels on fire? That can feel not just hard, but out of touch.
Let’s be honest: the usual approaches aren’t working for many of us anymore. Beyond what is happening in each of our individual lives, the collective chaos that we are all thrown in is taking a toll. I witness in daily in the healing room and all around me.
The Truth Beneath the Noise
Here’s what those approaches do get right:
Healing happens in the present moment. Whether you choose to try to find inner peace or act to reaffirm what you are standing for, you are in the here and now.
But the deeper medicine isn’t presence alone.
It’s presence with connection and alignment—
With your soul.
With your inner knowing.
With the part of you that remembers:
You’re not here just to cope.
You’re here to create, to choose, and to lead your life from within.
Why Connection & Creation Are the Deeper Cure
When the world feels out of control, two spiritual truths can become anchors:
- Connection Restores Safety
Anxiety often stems from a sense of separation—from others, from the Earth, from your own soul.
When you re-connect—to Spirit, to the Universe, to nature, to community, to your deeper self—your nervous system gets the message:
You’re not alone. You’re held. You’re safe.
This is essential, especially if you didn’t receive that foundational sense of safety in early life. Connection is essential in help rewiring the nervous system for calm.
Anxiety is future-oriented—it thrives in “what ifs.”
Creation brings you back to now.
Whether you’re making art, having a conversation, tending your space, or making a decision—creating something (even something small) reconnects you to your agency. To your ability to shape your experience.
And it starts with how you choose to show up every single day.
Creation isn’t just about being artistic. It’s about stepping into your role as a co-creator of your life.
Anxiety Is Energy—It Wants to Move
In shamanic traditions, we don’t try to eliminate anxiety.
We listen, we transform, we integrate.
Anxiety is often the soul’s way of saying:
Something needs your attention.
A deeper connection with your creative essence answers that call.
So What Can You Do—Right Now?
Here are some grounded, soul-aligned ways to meet your anxiety differently:
→ Step away from the noise
Move intentionally away from the endless scroll of news and social media.
Ask yourself: What information do I really need to stay connected and empowered?
→ Choose where you engage
Be conscious about what you give your energy to—whether it’s relationships, activism, or inner work.
Presence doesn’t mean being available to everything.
→ Reclaim your rituals
Simple, sacred daily practices—conscious breathing, intention, movement, journaling, prayer, making tea—can root you in the now and reorient you toward who you want to be.
→ Reimagine your path
The old is gone. The unknow can feel terrifying—but it’s also a portal.
What new ideas, connections, or possibilities could this moment hold?
What if this is not just a crisis to survive—but an invitation to create a new way of being?
What if everything was possible?
Here’s the Spiritual Heart of It All
You are being asked to hold two truths at once:
- Radical trust that you will be safe, no matter what
- Confidence that you can create and transform your life
And to do both, you need deep connection—to something greater, and to the sacred creative force within you.
This Isn’t Just a Moment to Cope
It’s a Moment to Transform, individually and collectively.
This is your invitation to go beyond short-term relief.
To meet the root—not just manage the symptoms.
To return to the seat of your power.
To feel grounded—even when the ground keeps shifting.
To meet anxiety not with avoidance or force—but with truth, clarity, and (re)connection.
Are you ready?
