Working with Anxiety: An Essay on Mindfulness and Psychology

by Salvatore Celiento

Through various physical and mental activities, mindfulness and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approaches to anxiety suggest that we can take the warrior's path and hold our balance in the face of fear, transcending our natural tendency to run away. A central theme running through this essay is that of facing fears with gentle courage, consciousness, and self-compassion, while increasing awareness of one's body and mental patterns. Here, the author, professional counselor, educator, Tibetan Buddhist, artist, poet, and martial artist, Salvatore Celiento explores anxiety in relation to thinking patterns, emotions, the brain, art, martial arts, yoga, Buddhism, breathing exercises and more.
