About this meditation

Stepping Back from Worry works with future-oriented thinking without debating its content. When a worry appears, you identify it as predicting, protecting, rehearsing, or checking, then notice the body response that comes with it. You practice seeing worry as a mental process rather than a forecast that must be solved immediately. The loop loses force when its function is recognized instead of obeyed.

Keep your practice comfortable. You can pause, stop, or return to natural breathing whenever you need.
