There is nothing more important than how you feel in your life.
Do you wake up feeling tense and anxious?
Has anxiety cost you a lot of sleep, time and energy?
Do you worry about things that never happen?
Do you always have something to worry about that stops you from being present to your life?
Are you curious about mindfulness and how it might help you live better?
Then it's time.
I am very excited to tell you about a summer version of a course designed specifically to heal fear. Let me introduce myself and my course "From Fear to Freedom Summer 2019", designed to give you the tools to enter the fall with more knowledge, confidence and ease.
From Fear to Freedom Summer Course 2019
A 5 Week Mindfulness Course Designed to Help You Overcome Anxiety
Start this fall more relaxed, focussed and ready.
Join me in a 5 week journey over the summer as we learn to overcome fear together. Through video classes, guided mindfulness practices as well as direct teaching and support from me.
I have dedicated my life to finding the most effective, proven tools to heal from anxiety.
You will learn:

What do I need to do?
Just show up
You will receive a weekly video class on Mondays beginning July 29th to watch at your leisure with valuable information about the week's topic on anxiety. Each week builds on the previous one and you can go back and watch as many times as you like.
Practice
Mindfulness only works if you practice it. From Tuesday to Friday of each week you will receive a 10-15 minute guided audio practice to integrate the lesson and learning. These practices are available to go back and repeat anytime.
Get Support
Starting the week of July 29th, every Wednesday there is a group coaching class in our private Facebook group where I teach more about different aspects of anxiety and you have a chance to ask questions and get support. If you can't make it, it will be uploaded to the group to watch later.
"“I can’t say enough good things about Madeleine Eames’ weekly Mindfulness class. Madeleine is a profoundly gifted and compassionate teacher. I know I speak for many others when I say that the mindfulness lessons she shared with us made each of our lives brighter, more tolerable, and I’ve heard it said more than once by participants that they wish they’d known the simple technique of being mindful years earlier.” "
Kay McCracken
"I loved the video lessons, the journaling and the meditations prior to journaling made the journaling much richer for me. Your questions were great and elicited a great amount of insight for me. I think no matter where a person is at, they will get something from your course at any level of readiness...it is gentle and welcoming in its spirit(like you) and I could go back through it and learn again and again🙏💞"

This is exactly what we cover in the 5 Week Summer 2019 Program
Each week begins with a video class that explores one aspect of anxiety.
The following four days you will get 4 guided audio mindfulness meditation to start practicing this aspect right away.
On the Wednesday of each week I will be live in the private Fear to Facebook group to teach you more about fear and how to overcome it, give extra tips and also to answer any questions that have risen so far.
You can take the weekends off or you can go back and repeat some of the practices.
I will be available in our private Fear to Freedom Facebook group to share, ask questions and get support during the course. I might even add a yoga pose or two to practice in there.
Week 1: The Root of Your Anxiety & How to Overcome It Using Mindfulness
In the first week we will look at how you become trapped in your anxiety, how it shows up, and how to practice mindfulness to overcome it and the difference between anxiety and fear.
Week 2: Mindfulness, Your Nervous System & Breathing
You will learn the healing power of the breath to calm your revved up nervous system and specific ways to calm your anxious mind and body as you turn towards discomfort. We will discuss 3 different breathing disorders. You will learn why the breath is so powerful and effective and how to use it to approach anxiety to relax the body and mind.
Week 3: Unhooking From Stressful Thoughts. What Is The Story?
In this week we focus directly on the automatic negative thoughts that are fueling anxiety. You will learn to clarify and examine the stories that cause your fear, let go of the inner critic and notice your negativity bias and common thinking traps that cause anxiety.
Week 4: The Relationship Between Your Anxiety And Your Emotions
In this module you will learn to identify underlying feelings that may arise, particularly when we start to let go of anxiety. You will learn how to deal with and process difficult emotions whether it is anger, jealousy or worry. You will learn how to detach and slowly take away the power of strong emotions and learn what causes them.
Week 5: Planning Ahead For A Peaceful Life
In week five we put it all together in a plan for you to integrate mindfulness into your daily life to live with more ease, greater calm, connection and less stress. We will practice the power of compassion as an antidote to fear and loving kindness as an antidote to the isolation and judgement that arises with anxiety. Remember this is always a practice and never perfect, so keep going!
Frequently Asked Questions
Throughout my 25+ years of private practice, I have seen too many lives become limited because of unnecessary fear. We all deserve an accessible opportunity to fully live our life with freedom instead of constantly running from fear.

On the Wednesday of each week I will be live on video in the Facebook group to answer questions, fill in the blanks and move you through obstacles.

Weekly Community Mentoring/Coaching Sessions

All of these sessions will be recorded and posted in our Facebook community to watch at your convenience.
