Anxiety is an excessive worry about everyday issues such as health, finances, or work. It can be a mild underlying feeling of agitation or excessive anxiety which interferes with sleep, with concentration or our ability to easily carry out everyday tasks.
Much of our suffering is based on fear. The perspectives, techniques and practices within Buddhism offer excellent support for working with anxiety. During this talk we will explore some of these perspectives and practices.
