Somatic Movement & Mindset

The Anxiety Release Formula: Why Movement Is Your Missing Link

Heidi Hadley Episode 271

Anxiety isn’t just in your mind; it lives in your body.

In this deeply restorative episode, Heidi Hadley, Certified Clinical Somatic Educator and founder of Total Somatics®, reveals the missing link in traditional approaches to anxiety: movement.

Discover how your nervous system holds onto stress, why your muscles stay tense long after your mind has calmed, and how somatic movement can help you release anxiety from the inside out. Through slow, mindful practice, Heidi teaches you to calm your body’s alarm system, restore ease to your breath, and create lasting emotional balance.

If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in anxious energy, this episode will help you reconnect with safety, softness, and self-trust.

🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • How anxiety imprints in your muscles and breathing patterns
  • Why your nervous system struggles to “switch off” after stress
  • The role of pandiculation in releasing stored tension
  • A short guided somatic practice to restore calm and grounding
  • A simple five-step somatic formula to reset anxiety anytime
  • How mindful reframing turns anxiety into awareness

💬 Takeaway Message:

You can’t think your way out of anxiety but you can move your way through it.
When you slow down, sense, and release tension, your body learns safety again, and calm becomes your natural state.
