“No one likes to feel anxious. But what if anxiety were a path to personal empowerment instead of a cul de sac of despair? What if our struggles with anxiety were invitations to step into a new level of open-heartedness? The epidemic level of anxiety we are seeing today the world over is inviting us to step into a new level of presence according to author Connie Habash who offers her readers a new possibility: that the way forward – the way to peace and wholeness – is found in meeting the anxiety, not pushing it away. I couldn’t agree more. With many experiential practices and tools, Awakening from Anxiety is that rare combination of spiritual understanding and practical, down-to-earth guidance. It is a useful manual both for beginners and those already committed to a path of awakening. The book is both comforting and encouraging.”

—Jett Psaris, author of Undefended Love and Hidden Blessings: Midlife Crisis as a Spiritual Awakening
