Important question for anxiety-sufferers looking for a lasting solution to break free from anxiety, panic-attacks, fear and worry....
If there was a simple, step-by-step, PROVEN method to overcome anxiety (WITHOUT nasty side-effects - OR having to spend 1000s of $$$ - and hours! - on therapy)...would you feel confident enough to make it your #1 priority to commit to it?
Because I know that you know that overcoming anxiety isn't just about feeling "calmer" or more "relaxed"...it's literally a game-changer for your whole life and would mean EVERYTHING to you!
- Many anxiety-sufferers feel hopeless, depleted, exhausted and even ashamed from constantly fighting an internal battle with their own minds - and other people just don't understand how simply waking up and making it to the end of each day is a victory in and of itself.
- Anxiety is a life-shrinker - it slowly steals everything from you- not just your peace of mind, but your enjoyment of life; your ability to function at your best and reach your goals; your relationships and social life and it even robs you of your very self as it shrinks your personality to someone you no longer even recognise... a smaller version of yourself crippled by fear, feeling weak and alone...
Because what follows could EASILY be the most pivotal moment you look back on a few weeks from now...
But first...
Let me know if this sounds familiar:
You've experienced a litany of physical anxiety symptoms that have freaked you out, like nausea, dizziness, headaches, difficulty breathing, insomnia and even a racing heart or skipped heart beats and panic attacks so bad you've literally thought you may be dying...
With all that effort and commitment, following the advice of all the seeming experts, you DESERVE to be feeling better by now...
3 Reasons You're STILL Suffering From Anxiety Despite Seemingly Trying Everything!!
1. You were sold the magic-pill lie...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti modern-medicine at all...we're SO fortunate that we have such advanced medical and diagnostic tools in today's day and age.
BUT while modern medicine is great for fixing broken legs, headaches and heartburn, it is FAILING people when it comes to mental heath (in fact the WHO predicts that anxiety and depression will be the leading causes of disability in the world by 2030)...
You may have been told that anxiety is simply a chemical imbalance in the brain and that taking medication is necessary and no different to a diabetic who needs to take their insulin...ummm, sorry but I'm calling BS on that!!..2 things here:
1) the whole chemical imbalance THEORY is actually just a theory based on how we know anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds work, they increase certain chemicals in the brain...but it has NEVER been proven there was an imbalance or deficiency of these neuro-transmitters in the first place - in fact, that has been disproven...(Did your doc ever "test" your levels before prescribing a medication? No!)
and 2) while you can test a diabetic's insulin levels and treat them accordingly and manage it effectively...it's not that straight-forward with anxiety!
The studies on the efficacy of many anxiety meds and anti-depressants are NOT very compelling compared to other classes of drugs, if they were, there wouldn't be such an epidemic of mental health problems right now.
They also haven't been well studied for long-term use. And as you may well have experienced, they often come with a raft of side-effects and serious risks of addiction.
And to be fair some people do experience some benefits from medication, don't get me wrong...but if you're reading this right now I'm guessing like many others, that's not you!
To understand that anxiety is complex and can have a range of physical and mental factors behind it, it's not as simple as a "chemical imbalance" - and even if it was, neuroscience shows we can alter our own brain chemistry through our behaviour, thoughts and emotions anyway, so medication is not the only answer. The take-home is, there literally is no magic pill or band-aid solution for anxiety, not one without nasty side-effects anyway.
(Warning: please do not stop, reduce or alter your medication without your doctor's supervision, it can be very dangerous to do so)
2. You've been led to believe there are only 2 legitimate options for anxiety: meds or therapy..
I've covered the medication issue above, and the other thing many anxiety-sufferers try is therapy. Therapy and counselling CAN be very helpful for many, but from my experience working with people with anxiety, it's sadly not a silver bullet either...
It can be great for gaining perspective or understanding where your anxiety may be coming from in terms of past traumas etc, but many people report still not having the SKILLS to overcome anxiety when it rears it's ugly head again...which leads to many feeling fed-up after spending 1000s of $$$ and often years in therapy...and still suffering from anxiety.
To know that there is a 3rd, effective, PROVEN method that will give you the mental SKILLS to overcome anxiety that won't take years or cost 1000s of dollars....MINDFULNESS.
Mindfulness involves a collection of simple techniques that allows you to literally rewire your brain to be less prone to anxiety and instead calmer, happier and more resilient to stress. It's extremely well-studied, and is being used now in schools, hospitals, corporations, pain clinics and in some types of psychotherapy to improve many aspects of mental health (as well as peak performance and productivity).
In fact, studies have shown that just 8 weeks of daily mindfulness practice can reduce anxiety and depression by 50% and improve energy levels by 30% - without any nasty side effects! And the results get better the longer you practice and the more "re-wired" your brain becomes.
3. You've "tried" mindfulness, but you haven't REALLY tried mindfulness...
I've heard people dismiss mindfulness with things like, "yeah, yeah, I've tried that, it doesn't really work for me"...but when I ask them what they've specifically tried, it's usually something kinda half-assed like doing some guided meditations from Youtube or a mindfulness app, perhaps reading a mindfulness book or 2, or learning a couple of breathing techniques with their therapist...
That ain't gonna cut it!
WHAT YOU NEED:
First of all, to understand that in order to rewire your brain with any new skill, consistency is KEY...it needs to be practiced for a short time each day for at least 8 weeks for it to really work. (Though many start feeling some significant benefits after just 2 or 3 weeks).
What's more, while mindfulness meditation is a very important part of mindfulness training, there's much more to it! As well as having a good understanding of the theory behind mindfulness, it needs to be brought into your daily life beyond simply meditating for 10 minutes or so, then getting back to your crazy day. It's not at all difficult to do this, but very few people have truly given mindfulness a real "go" in order to see the profound benefits it can provide.
By now, you're probably wondering how YOU can get started re-wiring your brain with mindfulness to feel calmer, happier and more in-control...
After teaching mindfulness to hundreds of students, experience has taught me there is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to go about this...
The RIGHT way involves learning with what I call the "Triple S's" in place:
Simplicity, Step-by-Step, Support...
The "Triple S's" will enable you to master mindfulness quickly and easily so that you:
- Experience more happiness, confidence and self-esteem on a daily basis
- Break free from debilitating anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks, insomnia and physical tension
- Enjoy waking up with more energy, feeling positive and productive
- Feel more in control, knowing you have the skills to cope with life's up and downs
- Have the ability to RESPOND to stress, rather than unconsciously REACT and spiral into anxious thoughts
- Experience more joy, ease and freedom to express your true self and reach your full potential
BUT, they do depend on using a system of learning that utilises the Triple S's so that you can by-pass the fluff; focus on the most effective and proven mindfulness techniques that really work, in a sequential way that avoids overwhelm and confusion...WITH the support you need to guarantee your success...
On that note, let me introduce myself!
Your Instructor
I’m Sharee James ND, a fully qualified Naturopath, Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation Instructor specialising in holistic mental health.
My own life-circumstances led me to focus on helping people with anxiety and depression after suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks myself that on one occasion even landed me in the emergency department of the hospital! (NOT fun...)
In my personal life, I LOVE travel (when the borders are open obvs!), swimming in the ocean, curling up with a good book and a warm chai, stretching it all out in candle-lit yoga and spending time with my beautiful man and very soon - our new baby boy!
TESTIMONIALS
Robyn was able to improve her sleep, halve her anxiety medication and overcome exhaustion within 6 weeks!
"Thank you Sharee, I have loved every minute of The Calmer Mind Course, the content and effect has surpassed all expectations. My stress levels were very high when I started the course and I was taking anxiety medication daily and felt constantly exhausted. The medication has halved after 6 weeks* and the the exhaustion has miraculously abated too. The anxiety that used to sit high in my chest constantly has dissipated, my body is noticeably more relaxed and I feel a lot more settled. I find that my body wants to do the meditations every night, it's like my sedative and I am able to fall asleep much more easily instead of lying awake for hours worrying. I am already recommending this course to everyone I talk to!!!"
- Robyn Leahy, AUSTRALIA
*Please note, Robyn was able to reduce her medication under the supervision of her doctor, and medication must NEVER be reduced, started or stopped without professional medical supervision
After a lifetime of stress, Anna finally feels positive and that her mood is under control...
"As an older woman who has felt stress & anxiety most of her life, particularly in childhood, I felt it was just a part of my life and that it was too late to live differently. Before The Calmer Mind Course, my stress levels and mood felt out of my control, but now my stress and mood feels under my control and I am much more positive. I definitely recommend this course, the level of information - especially the scientific information around stress reduction and the body - is tremendous."
- Anna Kershaw-Barr, UK
The tools Janey learned in the Calmer Mind Course helped her cope with every mother's worst nightmare...
"When I started the course I really doubted if I’d complete it, wondering how I’d find the time. I work full-time and I’m also studying for my Master's. Added to that my husband and I were trying to buy our first house, plus a few weeks earlier I had found out I was pregnant with my first baby and I was feeling really nauseous and tired. I shouldn’t have worried as the course was very easy to fit around my busy schedule and it really helped me relax and feel calmer about all the things going on in my life. The course was a real saviour at the end of my first trimester when we were told there could be something wrong with the baby. The things I had learnt helped me stay sane during that month and thankfully all the tests eventually showed everything was fine. This is by far the best online course I have ever taken. It is so well prepared and easy to use. I have made immense improvements in my life through following all the practices in it and I know it is something that I'll repeat time and time again. It was an honour to participate and your course has made a real difference to my life Sharee. Thank you so much."
- Janey Brant-Beswick, UK
Agni was able to reduce her stress levels from a 7/10 to a 2/10 and release anxiety & self-criticism...
"When I started The Calmer Mind Course my stress levels felt like they were 7/10, by the end of the course they were down to 2/10. I really enjoyed the lectures, the topics were really interesting. All of the additional exercises and guided meditations were fantastic and really helped to cement what was covered in the teaching modules. I am less critical of myself now, and the meditations have really helped to release anxiety and not get stuck in any certain mental condition that I am having. Sharee's voice is also really nice to listen to."
- Agni Sam, LITHUANIA
Mother and daughter Sally & Kelly are feeling happy, calm and peaceful after The Calmer Mind Course...
KELLY: "I started The Calmer Mind Course with stress levels at 9/10 and they went down to a 4/10 by the second week. I have realised that I can learn to "turn off" immediate stressors when I have the tools to do so and become more present in everyday moments. I notice I am so happy after I listen to the meditations and lessons, I feel so good - and I have way less anxiety. Sharee's voice is also really relaxing - it put my puppy boxer to sleep!"
SALLY: "Sharee has presented everything in this course in a concise and well thought-out way. The way she has formulated all the knowledge she has gleaned on her journey and presented it is really beautiful and perfect...it is hard to say but in a deeper way it has already made big changes in my psyche which can in turn really lead to having a calm and peaceful attitude unhampered by worry and judgment of situations that arise in life. I am grateful for Sharee's dedication to her work and her practice that she is sharing with us."
Kelly & Sally Stephenson, USA
Maria has gone from feeling anxious, stressed and emotional to clear and at ease...
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course! I started out feeling very anxious and stressed based on many factors in my life, but now I feel more at ease, less stressed and like I can process things more clearly and less emotionally. Thank you so much!"
-Maria Espinosa, USA

Here's a sneak peek of what's inside:
MODULE 1: Turning Within
This module is the foundation of the whole course and will teach you how to START – and STICK to – your own simple daily mindfulness meditation practice…even if you’re SUPER BUSY and your willpower SUCKS!
Mindfulness meditation has the ability to transform your ENTIRE life as it trains your brain to be less reactive and more resilient to stress so you can break free from being at the mercy of anxious thoughts and fears and deal with life's ups and downs with calm and grace.
You'll also:
- Uncover the REAL toll your stress & anxiety is taking on your health, happiness & lifestyle and how to avoid the triggers that are making it worse. (This INVALUABLE insight is the first step in taking back control of your life!)
- Discover the difference between responding vs reacting in stressful situations and no longer being at the mercy of external life circumstances
- Have common meditation myths debunked including the #1 misconception that almost ALL new meditators make...(Sadly, this FALSE assumption causes countless newbies to give up too soon before experiencing the real benefits of meditation! But thanks to this lesson, this won’t happen to you!)
MODULE 2: Coming Home to Your Body
In the first module we approached anxiety from the mind, in this module we'll utilise the untapped potential of your body to literally "switch-off" the stress response.
Did you know that your body is a powerful tool for being able to "get out of your head" and into the present moment where you can feel more grounded and connected to your inner wisdom?
In this second module you’ll also:
- Develop self-trust and self-confidence and stop worrying what other people think or seeking their approval
- Get over frustrating indecision & crippling self-doubt by making firm, confident decisions based on your body's natural intuition
- Release years of stress and built-up physical tension with yin yoga: one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of yoga around
MODULE 3: Everyday Mindfulness
Now that you've built a firm foundation with mindfulness meditation, it's time to bring these skills from the meditation cushion into the "real world".
This module will teach you short, simple techniques to bring more peace and calm day into your day and prevent stress from building up and triggering anxiety.
Highlights include:
- A super-easy, "portable" mini-meditation practice you can do throughout the day to defuse stress and anxiety instantly
- How to transform mundane, every-day chores into living meditation practices that strengthen your inner peace and clarity of mind every time you do them!
- How to STOP wasting your life on auto-pilot and WAKE-UP to the hidden joy and wonder of the present moment
MODULE 4: The Foundation of True Self-Care
After gaining basic mindfulness skills in the first 3 modules, modules 4 to 6 will build on these skills to heal anxiety at some of
the deeper roots. Many anxiety-sufferers are fighting an inner battle with their own minds and suffer from massive self-doubt, relentless self-criticism and harsh self-judgement - which leads to MORE stress, anxiety and unhappiness.
In this module you’ll finally BREAK FREE from your inner bully and see your happiness and confidence soar!
You’ll discover:
- How to stop dwelling on problems and getting caught up in negative thought-patterns
- How to let go of self-sabotaging feelings of shame, inadequacy and fear of failure that are holding you back from reaching your true potential
- How to become more resilient & self-compassionate in times of difficulty and better able to acknowledge and meet your own needs as your own best ally
MODULE 5: Dealing with Difficult Emotions
Underneath anxiety often lives a whirlpool of hidden emotions we try to turn away from...which unfortunately fuels more anxiety!
Anger, fear, sadness, grief, shame and resentment no longer have to steal your peace of mind if you have the tools to deal with them effectively…Which is just what this module will provide!
Highlights include:
- A powerful guided meditation that you can use whenever you are experiencing strong emotions to process them safely and fully and regain your emotional balance
- The reason why you unintentionally fuel negative emotions with your thoughts - causing them to last WAAAY longer than necessary… and how to stop it!
- How to finally let go of the past and stop getting stuck in the same patterns and habits of suffering
MODULE 6: Creating Calmer Relationships
It’s not easy to keep your peace of mind if you have poor boundaries with others, have to deal with difficult people on a regular basis or have conflicts and troubles in your closest relationships…which is why this invaluable module is all about how you can bring calm to your relationships as well…
Some of the GEMS covered are:
- Discover the #1 mistake that nearly EVERYONE makes that leads to dissatisfaction and conflict in relationships. (This applies ESPECIALLY to romantic relationships and is responsible for countless break-ups and divorces!)
- How to put strong BOUNDARIES in place so you can stop taking on other people's drama and negativity, and stop saying YES when you really want to say NO
- 2 mindfulness techniques to help you let go of old grievances and resentments that are keeping you stuck in the past and unable to move on
- How to use the 6 qualities of mindfulness to transform your relationships from stuck, difficult or unsatisfying to peaceful, loving and deep
