Re: Underlying health conditions causing mental illnesses
I was very fatigued this week and wasn't able to do the meditations at all. Would you be able to do a body scan? I'm often quite fatigued as I have a small child, and sometimes do a body scan before bed. Even if I don't make it through the whole scan because I fall asleep, I feel much more rested a...

Have you heard of Elisha Goldst...

Re: Anxiety symptom
Hi, this might seem strange but what triggers my anxiety is when i'm inside and the room feels warm I feel very uncomfortable and start to obsess about the feelings I have around feeling hot. It's like my body has a thermometer and the uncomfortable feelings begin when the room is warm. I don't get...
