I honestly wanna cry with how well this helped, it’s currently 3 am and I was randomly having a sudden burst of anxiety and having an attack. Some push-ups did help a bit but this helped way more

Thank u for including that adorable little face, it may sound funny but there was additional comfort from that. 😌

This was very pleasing. I'm having trouble with anxiety. As I listened and breathed, I became very relaxed, then a thought emerged in my mind..."If they put a jump scare in the middle of this meditation video I'm going to have a heart attack!"

[mirandamarie]

I have a very irrational fear of vomit and every time this anxiety gets triggered, I always find myself back at the video. Thank you so much for posting this video this is the only one that’s helped😭👍

This video has helped me
In so many ways as someone dealing with psychosis right now and alot of different
Med Changes and have been depressed sleeping all day. Anxiety makes u feel like chest pain and i love this one because its so easy and simple and when u say belly and then say breath it helps so much and the first time ive done this video ive always came back to it so it must help me and my thought process more than i realize.

I was stressed, I could feel muscles in my face twitching.
This slow paced video made me want to do something else but I persevered because that was exactly what I needed, I had to slow down, be quiet for 10 minutes and just breathe. It's so simple, yet during the day I didn't realize I was just losing it.
I'm still not 100% but I'm for sure better than I was before the video, thank you for this!

Heeeyy just tried it and I absolutely loved it so much!!❤❤
I recently found out i had some serious bad anxiety, but I'm working on it! And I'm sure we all gonna be okay! Just don't forget to think positively and keep it mind that you're blessed and you're not alone. Don't forget that, sisters and brothers.

This is very helpful. Thank you for the moderately slow pace, it was perfect. I have issues with not breathing properly due to chronic stress and GAD, so this will be a great practice.
