Worry Medicine

A gentle, inclusive, and beautifully illustrated resource for anyone looking to quiet the low hum of worry in their daily lives. Open this book to any page and find grounding artwork, inspired reflections, and simple yet radical practices to soothe anxiety. For those striving to live more intentionally and with deeper self-compassion and calm, Worry Medicine is an invitation, a cairn to help us navigate the indecipherable trail of life. Readers who feel exhausted by the stress of their everyday will learn reliable practices to quiet their nighttime spiraling, soothe sensory overwhelm, and moor themselves when they feel out of control. Developed by artist and ecological activist Nina Montenegro, the practices in this book range from guided meditations and grounding body movements to communing with nature, accessible art making, and time-tested rituals. Incrementally, these self-soothing practices usher us toward the resilience we must build to face our turbulent world with equanimity.
