npr's lifekit, on mindfulness to combat anxiety

This headline — Feeling Anxious? Here's a Quick Tool To Center Your Soul — caught my attention this morning, especially since I have been working on mindfulness. Heather Stang, author of Mindfulness & Grief, has a guided meditation using RAIN on the Insight Timer app. Read or listen to this NPR piece, and then look for Heather on Insight Timer if you want to try the practice.

Here’s how NPR introduced the story and episode on their Facebook page:

In her latest book, world-renowned psychologist and mindfulness teacher Tara Brach outlines the four-step mindfulness tool, RAIN:
1. Recognize
2. Allow
3. Investigate
4. Nurture

From @NPRLifeKit: How to use the #mindfulness practice RAIN. Learn to get yourself unstuck from ruminating on things in your past or future that distract you from enjoying the present. #mentalhealth #lifekit https://t.co/ytQ37DDjtZ
