A holistic approach to easing anxiety without hiding from the world’s challenges.

Overwhelming anxiety and stress - most of us experience these feelings at some point. The challenges in our lives threaten to overpower us at times and the struggles we see in the world further add to the burden. Peace from Anxiety helps us understand the deep roots of our suffering so that we can work toward finding more peace - even in chaos. Therapist and yoga teacher Hala Khouri takes us on a journey to investigate our personal habits, understand our lives, and transform what doesn't serve us. Even though the roots of our anxiety, stress, and pain may feel complicated, healing doesn't have to be.

Khouri explores how our brain and nervous system experience stress and discusses how we can begin to get in touch with our body to better understand its signals and how to handle them. She delves deeply into the primary causes of anxiety and offers practical tools for releasing stress and being present with discomfort. Peace from Anxiety discusses topics including trauma, relationships, technology, and working not only for individual healing but also collective healing in our world. Filled with relatable stories and examples, each chapter offers a range of practices and tools to help us find more peace and work for good in our own lives and the lives of others.

Excellent book!

Reviewed in Germany on 7 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I found this book very helpful because Hala is a very experienced yoga teacher, psychologist and one of the founders of "Off the matt into the world", who knows deeply and works with a lot of people the topics of anxiety and trauma. This book shares years of experience, explaining in a very warm hearted and easy way, how we can understand more ourselves and thrive even if things are difficult around us.
As a yoga teacher looking forward to give community classes, I found this book a perfect tool to comprehend myself better and the people I am intending to help. I think is a great tool for any teachers, parents or anyone who feels things are difficult on these times. No need to know or practice yoga to apply what is explained on the book!

An excellent guide for learning and practicing self-regulation

Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2021

First, to be transparent, I am a colleague and friend of Hala Khouri, and she mentions me in the book. That being said, I can honestly say that if I were not mentioned, and I did not know the author, I would still have the same very positive opinion of this book. I have learned so much from Hala not just because of her expertise, but because her compassion, earnestness and generosity of spirit make her an extraordinary teacher and guide, and all of that shines through in this book.

I learned from Hala most of the tools and practices that she explains in the book, and have used them for quite a few years. As someone who grapples with complex trauma and PTSD, and previously had only a vague awareness of interoception, I have found these exercises to be incredibly helpful. Talk therapy has always been helpful for me, but it is the somatic self-awareness and breathing practices that have helped me get to know my self, and to understand, in a practical and visceral way, how intertwined "mind" and "body" are, and that it's not possible to work on mind-based issues without also attending to physical sensations and reactions. Learning these tools to self-regulate has helped me to feel much more comfortable navigating the world than I ever would have imagined before.

I love that Hala wrote this book, because it is a very informative, easy to read, and comprehensive guide through all the tools and concepts I have learned from her over the years. It makes me happy that her knowledge, expertise and wisdom are now available to anyone who has access to this book. She teaches skills and concepts that, hopefully someday, will be taught as a matter of course to everyone.

In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of this book is that Hala doesn't limit her teaching and guidance to isolated individuals. She starts there (with a personal, "self-help" scope), but eventually expands out to include the importance of relationship in regards to how we perceive, practice and grow our own well-being. She gradually increases the scope of relationship from the one we have with ourselves, to family and friends, community, and beyond. In this way she nurtures a very organic and accessible understanding of how and why it is not possible to truly achieve peace of mind and well-being if we isolate the scope of our awareness and practice to only ourselves.

While that may sound overwhelming at first, the book is organized in such a way that the reader can easily take on only as much as feels manageable, and get benefit from it. Hala encourages and reminds the reader that there is no "right" way, or amount, of progress to make, and that each reader's journey through the material will look different. One of the important themes weaved throughout the entire book is the importance of each of us learning to be our own authoritative guide, based on knowing ourselves, rather than being told by someone else how to measure "progress". While the scope of the book eventually expands to include global awareness, there is no pressure or expectation for anyone to measure up to any external standard of achievement. The point is to offer tools in an accessible way, and that can be adapted and personalized so that anyone who uses them can benefit from them.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It is written so as to be accessible and understandable regardless of the reader's previous level of exposure to the concepts, and it is also useful as a reference, reminder, encouragement, or refresher for those of us who have already been working with these tools.

Filled with tools to help me regulate and be present

Oh my this is so useful. As a mother of four boys, I have experienced my fair share of anxiety. When I get worried, I get overwhelmed and I over react. This book is filled with wisdom and tools to help me regulate, be present, and feel more like my best self. I feel more confident and more able to be in the moment. All my moments are chaos. All day it’s busy. But now, I can embrace the chaos and enjoy it!

Hala is with you every step of the way.

I've dealt with anxiety for the longest time, and although I'm a yoga teacher who dives deep into meditation and the yoga practice in general, there was a need to understand anxiety and stress better. Hala's book is informative, and enriching with a deepened examination on why we feel how we feel. She even encourages you to write down feelings, routines and elements that you love or ones that trigger you. All in order to understand and manage stress and anxiety like never before. I've never seen or read anything like it before.

Hala Khouri is an amazing teacher, and guiding light. She even shares a little about herself, so it's nice to connect with her on a personal level. I highly recommend Peace From Anxiety.
