It's been a minute since I've shared a meditation episode, and figured that this week was the perfect week to get back into it! This week's meditation is designed to loosen the grip that your singing fears have on you, with a calming practice that will hopefully lower your anxiety around singing. Disclaimer: if you feel uncomfortable at any point while listening to this meditation, please press pause on this episode. My intention isn't to trigger listeners, but to give you another tool for working with your performance anxiety.
