C. Brain Buttons: place one hand over the navel. With the other hand, massage the areas on either side of the sternum below the collar bone. Change hand (30 sec/hand)
A. Cross Crawl: Touch hand to opposite knee and vice versa. Do this SLOWLY for approximately 2 minutes. Move shoulders and breathe.
P. Hook Ups – Part1: Sit. Cross ankles. Stretch out arms, cross them and place palms together. Lace fingers and bring hands under and up to rest under chin. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want.
Hook Ups – Part2: Uncross ankles and arms. Lightly touch fingertips together with both hands. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want.

What is GAD and how can it be treated?
If you are suffering with depression or anxiety, or both, I want to let you know that there is Hope!!! This is my personal testimony of how Christ healed me of both. If you are hurting and feel an emptiness inside, I want to let you know Jesus loves YOU and wants to give you peace. I am not saying that medication and Doctors are wrong, quite to the contrary, the medication I was on helped the symptoms of both my anxiety and depression and helped bring me to a level state.
