Social Anxiety: 15 Minute Guided Meditation

About this episode

This episode explores social anxiety through mindfulness and early Buddhist teachings, emphasizing awareness and compassion.

In this session of Untangling the Mind, we explore social anxiety through the lens of mindfulness and early Buddhist teachings. Together, we look at how fear of judgment, self-consciousness, craving for approval, and aversion to discomfort shape our experience, and how mindfulness and compassion can help us relate to these patterns differently. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, this practice invites us to meet our experience with greater awareness, acceptance, and kindness. Prompt: What scenario, event, or activity often brings anxiety out for you? Sitting segment that complements the talk portion on Social Anxiety Group Date: 5/5/2026
