The amygdala is responsible for the “fight or flight” response that triggers anxiety, stress and fear in the limbic system. The body releases stress hormones including, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Meditation is a great way to tap into the amygdala to calm anxiety, stress and many emotional imbalances. The limbic system is a central processing center for emotions and survival responses. It is important to know where physical and emotional responses stem from in order to know how to calm them when chaos ensues. Meditations such as; mindful meditation, chanting and EFT (tapping) are used for reducing anxiety and fear.
