Anxiety is a major issue with today’s world and in this episode, I explain why it is related to our global Vata imbalance and what to do about it. I also share how not all anxiety is a “bad” thing and sometimes it can actually be warning us about a change we need to make in our lives. The trick is to not let it linger as anxiety but use it as an active measurement. Whether you suffer from anxiety or simply just overthink a lot (who doesn’t?!) you’ll find value in this episode.

Episode 185 โ Overcome Anxiety with Sahara Rose
By Sahara Rose
Namaste. Itโs Sahara Rose and welcome back to the โHighest Selfโ podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your soulโs highest evolvement.
Whatโs your dosha? Well if you want to find out, I invite you to take my quick little quiz over on iamsahararose.com, and in a couple questions, I will let you know the exact percentages of the doshas in your mind and in your body and email you a free three-day mini course on how to include Ayurveda into your modern lifestyle. So head over to my website, iamsahararose.com, to discover your dosha today.
So recently I put on my Instagram what are the topics you would like for me to talk about on the podcast, and a lot of you said anxiety. Now anxiety, I would say, is one of the biggest โissuesโ of our time, but is it really an issue? So letโs talk about that on this episode, and again, this is just my opinion, youโre free to have your opinion, too.
But I donโt see anxiety like this disease almost like itโs made out to be. Itโs like, โOh, the epidemic of anxiety is here. Itโs like the smallpox, itโs going to take the worst of us.โ Like, no, I donโt see it as that, I see it as just a response to overstimulation, and I donโt see all anxiety as a bad thing either.
So what is anxiety? I actually didnโt really understand what anxiety was for a long time just because Iโd never called it that. And itโs very interesting because we can only really feel things that we have language for. So for example, in certain tribes, they have over a hundred names for the color green. So when you show them different pictures, different scales of green, theyโre able to detect, โOh, this green is a little bit more of a forest green, this is more of a mint green.โ Theyโre able to see levels of green that we cannot. Whereas if you showed us that same spectrum of greens, we would just say, โOh, thatโs just green.โ Whereas in other societies they donโt see blue, et cetera. And theyโve done many tests, and the more language we have for something, the better we are able to see it.
And I see that same thing for negative emotions, especially in our culture. ย You know, we say, โI have anxiety, I have this, I have that,โ thereโs so many words for these symptoms whereas in, for example, in some Native American cultures, they donโt have a word for sadness. The closest word for sadness is the feeling that you get when you get the flu, like thatโs what sadness is. It sort of just like aching and you feel sick, but thereโs no word for sadness, so therefore people are less likely to experience that because theyโre not labeling it. And this has been an ongoing study, and theyโre trying to see, well, if you donโt teach kids certain words, can they not feel it as much? And theyโre finding that to a lesser extent.
Now the reason why I opened up and share this, and it came through, is because I feel like weโve labeled this term anxiety that weโre calling it just a natural reaction to living life and having options that weโve made it seem like itโs this like disease when itโs not.
Now, what is anxiety? Anxiety is essentially having many thoughts, it is being focused in the future, it is excessive vata. So vata is the air dosha, the Ayurvedic mind-body type, which I am an author and talk a lot about on this podcast, and have two books aboutโโIdiotโs Guide to Ayurvedaโ and โEat Feel Fresh.โ So vata is air, it is in the future. If you look at the relationship with time, theyโre thinking about whatโs next, whatโs going to happen, what is to come, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Like theyโre visionaries, theyโre futurists. For example, Steve Jobs was able to foresee a world where we had these like devices in our pockets that control our lives. But it could also be a mind-trip, it could be worrying constantly about the future, and being paralyzed in the present because of it.
So it has its light and its shadow side, whereas pittaโfire energyโis very, very present, to the point that you can freak out and lash out at someone without thinking about your future relationship with them, or what theyโve done for you in the past because youโre just angry at this moment and you just need to get your words across. Whereas kapha can be very in the past, earth energy, so it can be, you know, wondering what could have happened if, or reminiscing, or feeling lonely, or feeling like they miss someone, or missing the good old days, et cetera, which is related to depression. So kapha, past, depression, pitta, present, anger frustration, vata, future, anxiety.
Now this massive epidemic, so they say, of anxiety is just an excess of vata. It is us being so up in the air that we are not in our bodies, we are not in the physical plain because to worry about something you actually canโt be present. Because unless that thing is happening to you right now, which you know most of the time when youโre worrying about something itโs not about the situation that youโre in right now, itโs about one that you think that you may be in, in the future, which may or may not happen, and most of the time does not happen.
So you canโt be present when youโre worrying, you canโt be present when youโre anxious, you have to be future tripping. And we live in this society that weโre always future tripping. I mean weโre thinking about our 401(K)s, and whatโs going to happen next year, and what are our goals, and what are our intentions, and what do we want to do moving forward, and itโs weโre always living for the next step, which can have a lot of benefits too. I mean if you donโt plan for the future at all, then youโre not going to live the kind of life that you want to live. But, weโve taken it a step too far, that weโve lost the practice that connect us to the physical, that weโre only in the head.
And the thing about air energy is the air is always flowing, right? Can you contain air in a vessel? No. the air is going to move, itโs going to go where it wants, itโs like the wind, itโs flowing left and right, you cannot predict it. So our thoughts are the air, we cannot contain our thoughts, we cannot stop our thoughts. No matter what kind of meditation you do, your thoughts are going to keep going as long as youโre alive. And theyโre supposed to, thatโs why theyโre there, and the mind is this tool that we have been given, and the mind works the same in all of us actually.
You know, we think that each of our mindโoh, my mind is just crazy, oh Iโm on a whole other level, you donโt understand my mindโitโs actually all the same. Itโs this universal tool, like a computer, that we all have, but we all have different operators, and those are our souls. So my soulโs going to operate and use my tool of a mind different than yours, and different than someoneโs elseโs, and you can train your mind how to work for you. So your mind is not just running its course thinking of crazy stuff, but you can actually train your mind to serve you. So if you think of your mind like a wild horse, you know, you can become friends with that horse, and let it know that youโre safe, let it know that itโs going to be okay, and train your mind that way.
Now, anxietyโs essentially letting that horse run free and thinking that now their horse is never going to come back to you, and itโs disappeared, and shitโs going to hit the fan, and you donโt know how youโre going to figure out. Itโs anxiety is actually trying to think of the worst situation to keep you safe. Thatโs actually what weโre doing, and itโs evolutionary because if Iโm able to foresee the worst situation that could happen to me, then if it happens I know how to handle it.
Now, in the evolutionary days, that was if a tiger came, and raided my village, and took all our food, what would I do. Whereas in today itโs, โOh my God, if she emails me back and sheโs upset, how am I going to respond?โ Or, โOh my God, that text was passive aggressive, sheโs probably mad at me for this reason,โ or things like that. So we start to think of the worst situation of, โOh my God, sheโs going to freak out, Iโm going to see her, itโs going to be really awkward, and weโre going to have this big blowout fight, and da da da,โ and we start to think about how could this get worse, how could this get worse, how could this get worse, and this is just our mindโs tool of protecting us.
So if we an train that horse of a mind and let it know that itโs okay. I mean, some pure evidence is those things that youโve tripped out over, like how many of them have actually happened? Think about how many conversations youโve had with yourself about things that you just are working yourself up about that have never happened. Case and point, if your mind was always predicting the future, then you would have dodged a lot of bullets, and you would have had a lot more confrontations than you would have thought. You know, your mind doesnโt know whatโs going to happen, your mind is just a tool thatโs trying to figure it out.
Now when youโre in that state of anxiety, that state of panic, the only thing you can really do is move out of the mind because you canโt beat the mind from the mindโs level, you know. Because then the mind is just gonna come up with more reasons using the mind, and then the mind is just going to keep growing, and itโs going to be mind, mind, mind, mental AF. The only way to move through it is to move into the body.
So moving into the body is taking the energy form up here to down here. Now a really easy way of doing it is to just go outside, go on a walk, thatโs something everyone is capable of doing. I promise you, if you just go on a walk without your phone or without whatever it is thatโs stressing you out, and you just walk, listen to music, youโre going to feel a lot better.
Another thing that you can do is dance. Getting into your physical system, turning on some musicโwhether itโs scream-o, rage music, or tribal music, or anything in between, and just dancing, flowing. And at first, you probably do not want to dance, you feel stuck, itโs the last thing you want to do, and you have to force yourself. Like for the first two minutes itโs going to feel like a force, but I can guarantee if you stick to it, and you dance for ten minutes without stopping, you will not feel anxious because anxiety cannot exist simultaneously as being present. So the moment that you take it out of the mind state and into the body state, youโre forced into being present, and then that anxiety can no longer co-exist.
We take a quick break from this episode so I can share with you an amazing opportunity. Are you interested in having a career focused on health and wellness? Well if so, then the universe is calling you to become a holistic health coach.

Iโm so excited for you to begin your journey as a health coach.
So walking, dancing, even doing some breath work, going on the floor, lying down, and just practicing breathing, just noticing your inhale and your exhale. And just feeling how that feels in your body, you know, there was a Japanese study that if you just inhale and exhale eight times, you reduce your cortisol levels like by 50% or something. Just from breathing, thatโs it, eight times. If you could just take eight breaths, I promise you, your anxietyโs going to feel so much better.
Another incredible tool that I recommend is shamanic shaking. Now shamanic shaking is a practice that has been used in all sorts of shamanic and indigenous cultures, which is shaking the body, which is actually something weโve done since the beginning of time. If you look at all animals, all animals when thereโs something up, or they get up, or anything, they shake. They shake to heal, and for us, for some reason just in the past several hundred years, itโs almost seen as barbaric and animalistic and weird to shake, whereas weโve been doing this since the beginning of time.
So what I like to do if Iโm really stuck in a funk is I will put on some tribal music like Tribe Called Red, or something thatโs very, very just primal, that drumbeat, I want to feel that, and I just shake my body, and that just looks like literally what it sounds like. I am shimmying, I am shaking, I am flailing my arms, my legs, Iโm jumping up and down, Iโm shaking my booty, Iโm shaking my stomach, Iโm shaking it all. Because when you shake, you remove stagnant energy.
And the body holds onto trauma, so youโre not going to get rid of the trauma through the mind, You can try to outthink the trauma, you can go to therapy about it, you can talk about it a bajillion times, you can journal about it, but until you release it from the body, itโs still going to be there. And this is why somatic practices are essential to healing. Because once youโre able to just shake it out, you donโt need to consciously know what youโre even shaking about. Your body just knows itโs holding on to some shit, and it wants to let it go. Because your physical body morphs as your spiritual body morphs.
You know, what you look like physically is just a reflection of how you feel within yourself. And thatโs why people tell me all the time, theyโre like, โWow, youโre transforming, you look so different.โ Iโm like โBecause Iโm changing within.โ Because your body is just housing your soul, so itโs going to look and feel certain ways according to how your soul feels in that moment. So to clean up those cobwebs, to remove that stuck, stagnant, stored energy, the trauma, the emotional pains, the breakups, the heartaches, the sadness that youโre just holding onto physically day in and day out like baggage, you gotta shake.
You donโt need to know what itโs about, just shake, shake, shake until you feel your heart racing, and sweat is dripping down your face, and in that moment, stay still and just observe. Notice the sweat dripping down your skin. Notice the feeling of your heartbeat pulsing through your system. Notice all of the energy that youโve created thatโs moving through your hands, and your legs, and youโre feeling alive. And after youโve remained still for as long as you feel you need, then just dance and celebrate because it is fun to be a human, it is playful to be here.
I mean these problems that weโre worrying about really arenโt that important. Because if you think about the problems that you stay up all night about, a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, youโre like, โOh my God, I canโt believe I lost sleep over that.โ Itโs all just a cosmic wave, itโs all just flowing. And we can have that perspective of seeing that, you know, just from me shaking my body and then being still and observing it, I can change the total state of my body like that in a minute.
So imagine how much control we have over our state every day that we give up. We give up our own power all the time, we give it up to that person that texted us that passive aggressive thing, or that person who sent us the email we donโt like, or that person who honked at us, or that girl that copied us on Instagram, or whatever it is, youโre giving up your power to that person. Because the only way that you can feel anxious over it is if you in some way donโt feel empowered in the situation.
You have to remind yourself that you are sovereign, empowered being. No one can stress you out, thatโs actually impossible. Because stress only can exist inside of you. You can be a stressed person, but nothing can stress you out. This is victiming, this is blame, this is saying, โOh, that car was honking so loud it stressed me out. That person was talking so loud it stressed me out.โ No, honey, you had stress inside of yourself that was being triggered in this moments. So letโs address the stress inside of you.
Because you see people like these Buddhist monks who are literally being sprayed by the Chinese government and theyโre still in meditation because stress does not exist inside of them even when theyโre being attacked. So we can use that as an example of how can we react in this day. You know, anxiety is in a way blaming. Itโs saying, โOh my God, I have so many things on my to-do list, I have so many people emailing me, and wanting things of me, and this, and that.โ And itโs giving up your power that you donโt have to say yes to anything.
And no oneโs trying to take away from you, youโre only giving it up yourself. So we can step into that radical responsibility that Iโm in control of the way that I feel, and I donโt want to feel anxious, I donโt want to feel stressed out, I donโt want to feel cranky. Then how do you want to feel? I want to feel ecstatic, blissful, joyful, at peace. Okay, what can I do to get there? What are practices that I can do every day in my life that get me there instantly? So then when those moments arise, I have tools to fall back on, I have my dance practice, I have my meditation practice, I have my chanting, I have my nature, I have whatever it is that gets me there. So this is why we need our tools, our own unique toolkit, and thatโs why trying out different healing modalities is essential.
Now the other thing that I do, and this is from the mental state, so this is something that I just can maybe do in the moment, Iโm still doing my practices, my somatic releases, my shaking, et cetera, but this is just something else that I do personally in the moment when Iโm feeling anxious. So oftentimes, for me, it comes when Iโm exercising. I feel like itโs because I want to get out of that moment, so my mind is like, โOh, letโs think about that annoying confrontation for the 10,000thย time,โ and Iโll notice my mind is going into a loop because Iโve thought about this thing before, Iโve thought about how I want to respond, and what I want to say, and da, da, da, and that conversationโs probably not going to happen. So my mind right now is just trying to escape from this moment.
So I just become aware of that, okay. So the moment itโs entering my mind, I try to stop it right there, like, โOkay, you thought right now. Youโre wanting some attention, youโre wanting some love, youโre wanting to be acknowledged. Okay, I see you,โ and I give it a name. So mineโs is Beatrice. No shame if your name is Beatrice, itโs a cool name, just my voiceโs name is Beatrice. So I say, โBeatrice, thank you so much for your opinion, really valuable. Iโve had enough of this today, I donโt really want to think about it, weโve kind of gone through this loop a bunch of times, but thanks so much for offering your opinion, and Iโll talk to you later.โ
So letโs say Beatrice is like, โOh my God, when are you gonna write that email, blah, blah, blah.โ Iโm like, โokay, Beatrice, thanks, youโre no longer needed here. Love you, bye.โ Because Beatrice is just wanting to be heard. Beatrice wants to feel important. Beatrice wants to feel loved. Beatrice wants you to know that you care about her, and thatโs all it is, and we all have our own Beatrice. So I recommend that you give your inner voice, your judgmental, nagging voice a name. We have different voices in our heads, different kind of like tones that we go into.
So maybe, you know, one of mine is Overanalyzing Olivia. So Overanalyzing Olivia likes to analyze the shit out of everything. Like, โOh, well what if I did da da da,โ like sheโs super heady, and Iโm like, โOkay, Overanalyzing Olivia, thanks for your opinion, but not needed here, bye. You can go sit with Beatrice.โ So give these voices different names. Youโll see I have my overanalyzing voice, my judgmental voice, my inner critic voice, my whateverโall of these different voices. Give them names so then you can see that they are not a part of you.
Theyโre just shadow aspects that you held onto mostly because of societal upbringing. Theyโre in no way a part of you, and when you can create that distinction of, โThis is not my highest self speaking to me, this is Beatrice, or Overanalyzing Olivia, or whoever it is trying to bring me down in this way,โ youโre able to give that part of yourself love, and recognition, and see the separation between those shadow aspects of yourself, and the light being within yourself. Because the true you, the higher you, does not judge you, does not analyze you, does not stress you out, these are just tactics to keep you safe, okay?
So give your voice a name, itโs going to change your life. And I promise you, when you start referring to it in that name, you could have like funny little conversations like, โBeatrice, did you forget to take your nap today? Beatrice, I feel like youโre tired. Oh Beatrice, you donโt want to exercise, you do this every time.โ Like I literally have conversations like that in my head sometimes, and then I just start laughing, and then Iโm not anxious anymore.
So there are so many great tools out there, and another thing that I want to share is that not all anxiety is a bad thing. I feel like in our society weโre like, โOh my God, any stress about the future is horrible,โ and itโs actually not because sometimes we have anxiety over things that need to change. Sometimes the reason why youโre worried about it and stressed over it is because something needs to be addressed.
So for example, letโs say I launched a business with someone, and itโs just not feeling right, and I keep on thinking about like why this personโs not a good partner with me, and you know, just ways that I donโt think itโs going to work, or something that they said that kind of didnโt rub me the right way, whatever it is. And I could keep on ignoring it, like oh my God, itโs just me being anxious, oh my God, stop thinking about it, everythingโs fine. Or maybe itโs my intuition telling me that this isnโt the right partnership for me. And maybe by me labeling it as this horrible like Anxiety Anna, or whatever that you want to call it, maybe thatโs actually like Intuitive India telling me whatโs up.
So sometimes anxiety is warning you about something that you need to look at, and itโs there for a reason. And if you look at it, and you address it, and then you can overcome it, then itโs no longer there. So if youโre anxious about something that actually can be resolved, something that you know, maybe itโs your relationship, like your relationship, like youโre feeling like things are a little bit weird in your relationship, and its stressing you out, and you feel like heโs acting different. Instead of ignoring it, then face whateverโs happening in your relationship.
Maybe if you brought it up, youโre like, โYou know, I feel like weโve been weird for the past couple weeks, something must be up.โ Heโll be like, โOh, me too, this is whatโs been happening,โ if he has that communicative ability. Or at least you just know and you can recognize that somethingโs up, instead of me being like, โOh my God, I must be overanalyzing, let me not think about it,โ because clearly thereโs something that needs to be looked at.
Now if your habit is to overanalyze everything, and that personโs like, โNo, for real, everything is good,โ this is your tendency of overanalyzing, and they really mean it, then thatโs when I would go into, โOkay, everythingโs fine, itโs just me being a little bit of a cray-cray right now.โ So thatโs when you have to use your own distinction and know. You know, if itโs like something thatโs temporary, something thatโs new, something that hasnโt happened before, and youโre feeling a little bit anxious and worried about it, address it. If this is just your go-to about something that is just is what it is, like you just always think your partnerโs cheating on you, and they absolutely are not, then thatโs something that needs to be addressed.
And then the deeper reason of why, why do you keep feeling that way? Because we can keep on, you know, doing all of the anti-anxiety meditations, but you need to address the deeper reason why youโre getting there. You know, is it self-worth, is it not feeling enough, is it a trauma of someone who cheated on you before? Like what is the reason why you keep feeling that way? Because we brush things off too quickly as anxiety when they are pivotal lessons that we need to learn.
So is this anxiety helpful or harmful? There is helpful anxiety out there, and oftentimes in my life the things that Iโve had anxiety over were things that I needed to take action on. They were things that I needed to speak about. And the more and more I tried to not think about it, and be chill, and get over it, the bigger it became. Until finally I had to be like, โYo, this is not working for me, this needs to change, and this is how I need to go about it moving forward,โ then it was no longer there.
So donโt label all anxiety as harmful because it can be helpful. At the same time, it is helpful when you take action. If youโre just gonna keep worrying about it and not take action, then youโre just harming yourself. You know, thereโs some quotes thatโs like, โGod give me coffee for the things that I can change, and wine to accept the things that I canโt.โ Not that I recommend drinking coffee or wine, but sometimes I like to think about that quote because itโs saying that there are some things that you can change, and for that, you need more energy, more action, more pitta. And there are some things that you cannot change, and for that, you need more kapha, more relaxation, or as they say, more wine.
So I like to think about it that way. Am I being worried about something that I can actually change, that I canโand most of the time, there is something that you can change. Whether itโs an actual, physical thing, or something within yourself, or is this something I need to accept? You know, like maybe you have to go home for Thanksgiving because you need to see your parents and itโs giving you so much anxiety, but you just need to go home and see your parents, if thatโs something that you want to do, you actually donโt need to go home and see your parents.
But letโs say you really want to, but itโs also giving you anxiety. Okay, how can I change? How can I move forward seeing these people who I feel like I have nothing to talk about who bring me down and still keep myself up? Okay, Iโll bring board games. Okay, Iโll bring my tarot cards and pull cards for people. Okay, Iโll bring a book to keep me company. Okay, Iโll go on a run in the morning, or do some yoga so I feel a little bit better in my body throughout the day. Oh, Iโll make food with them.
You know, thereโs so many things that you could do to make yourself feel better, instead of just being like, โOh my God, I have so much anxiety over it. Ah, let me not think about it. Ah, Iโm still thinking about it. Ah, Iโm so anxious,โ and then not doing anything. Like treat yourself like you would as if you were coaching a friend, or as if you were your own client. Like, โOkay, what can you do about this situation? How could you make the anxiety less and what would make you feel better? What are the things you can change? What are the things that you cannot? How do you want to move forward?โ
Like we need to look at it like have these conversations with ourselves. And thatโs why, like talking to friends is so helpful, because sometimes a friend can hold that space, but really if you canโt do it for yourself, youโre never going to get anywhere. So treat yourself the same way you would a friend. Hold space for yourself that same reason. You know, think with that logical mind, and have these little like debates with yourself till you get to the root of it.
And at the same time, take breaks from your mind cause your mind can keep running around in circles and keep articulating new ways to say new things that keep ending you up in the exact same place. So take breaks from the mind, and go into the body, and shake, and dance, and flow, and move, and get out of there. So then when you do get into there, youโre on point, youโre analytical, you know whatโs up, and then you peace, and youโre back to your trance dance.
So I hope this was helpful. I know anxiety is a really, really big topic, and again, it looks different for every single person, but I do think itโs all based in the same thing. Itโs based in our society of being super futuristic, so Iโm all about the future, I love the future, Iโm excited for the way things are going, but we canโt live our lives just in the future because then weโre going to miss out on the present. The present is pretty damn awesome, not to mention the present was once your future at a specific different point of time.
You know, so if youโre missing out on your present, youโre missing out on the future that you once dreamed about, so let yourself gnaw on that for a little bit, a little bit of mind candy for ya, and I hope you enjoyed this episode. I would love to hear what works for you. Of course, thereโs so many more tools for anxiety, there are essential oils, thereโs lavender, and magnolia, and so many great tools. Thereโs marma points that you can do on your hands, and on your feet. There are some grounding meditation practices you can do, there are so many tools out there. I mean, I can do another episode on anxiety, but I just wanted to do an overarching of what anxiety really is, and the tools that have helped me most drastically.
Would love to hear about your tools, hit me up on the โgram. My Instagram is @iamsahararose. I do posts for all the episodes, I also have a โHighest Selfโ podcast Instagram @highestselfpodcast.
