91. Mindfulness & Heartfulness for Anxiety & Depression (Depression and Anxiety Coping Skills Podcourse)

We're entering a new phase of our podcourse... We're shifting from more body-focused strategies to explore two crucial dimensions of our being: the mind and the heart. These realms hold immense power over our mood and wellbeing. Mindfulness grants us the ability to perceive reality as it truly is, free from the distortions of our thoughts and the surge of emotions that can sweep us up. Heartfulness, on the other hand, expands our capacity to stay open and to love ourselves more deeply. And when we tap into that, we can more authentically share that love outside ourselves. Be sure to listen to all of the upcoming episodes for powerful lessons and meditations to support you.

About Joy Lab: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood. Join Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek for practical, mindfulness-based tools and positive psychology strategies to build resilience and create lasting joy.
