How to Calm Your Mind When Worry and Anxiety Take Over | Modern Buddhism with Kadam Lucy

What can we do when our mind won't stop worrying? When overthinking takes over, how can we find a little peace? In this 6-minute conversation from the @modernbuddhismpodcast, Kadam Lucy James, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre London, shares practical Buddhist wisdom for working with a busy, anxious or unsettled mind. Rather than constantly looking outside ourselves for something to change, Kadam Lucy explores how we can learn to settle the mind, create inner space and discover a more peaceful way of responding to life's challenges. Kadam Lucy James has spent decades studying, meditating and teaching Buddhist wisdom under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Known for her warmth, kindness and practical approach to Dharma, she has a gift for making Buddha's teachings accessible and relevant to people from all backgrounds. Her teachings show how ancient Buddhist wisdom can be applied to the realities of modern life — helping us understand our mind, work with difficult emotions and develop greater inner peace, resilience and clarity. In this clip, we explore: • How to calm a busy or unsettled mind • Understanding worry, anxiety and overthinking • Why we continually look outside ourselves for change • How to find greater peace within our own mind • Applying Buddhist wisdom to everyday life Whether you're completely new to Buddhism or have been practising for many years, we hope this conversation gives you something practical and meaningful to reflect on. #modernbuddhismpodcast About Kadam Lucy James Kadam Lucy James is the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre London.
