Dropping anchor audio exercises

The aim of the ‘dropping anchor’ exercise is not to get rid of unpleasant thoughts or feelings, or to ‘feel good’. The aim of these exercises are to bring your attention to what is most important in the here and now, living in the present moment. The idea is that you ‘drop an anchor’ so that the storm doesn’t sweep you away, enabling you to get present moment awareness and engage fully to get the most out of life.

In this audio Russ talks us through an explanation of the ‘dropping anchor’ exercises.
