Anxiety rarely stays in our heads. It tightens our shoulders, knots our stomach, clamps our jaw, and shrinks our breath until everything feels like bracing for the worst. 

Make room for rest, and welcome God’s healing touch with kindness, not force. Find a quiet place (reclined or seated) and practice building conscious awareness with this Body Scan for when you’re anxious. A guided body scan meditation can help you notice what’s happening inside, without trying to force the calm.

Lectio Divina is a slow and sacred reading (or listening) to Scripture. Slow down and listen to Jesus’ commandment today, “Love each other,” and notice what God invites you to hear. Wonder with God about love, ponder love, receive love. Listen and rest in God's love today.
