Guided Meditation for Intrusive Thoughts, OCD, & Anxiety

Hi friends. In this meditation, I lead you through some tools for dealing with intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts often accompany anxiety, and are met with a sense of obsessive worry, urgency, and a desire to get rid of or answer the thoughts.

In this meditation, we'll work with breathing through the intensity of the sensations and on accepting uncertainty.

For anybody that’s looking for a mantra to repeat, I like “these thought don’t define me, these thoughts don’t control me, these thoughts will subside”. Wishing all of you well❤️

[nccsing]

thank you. ocd is so horrible and it physically hurts. the thoughts r so painful. they make me forget who i am

When doing this if you get triggered by an image or thought, observe your feelings. You will see yourself feeling anxiety, fear or pain; those feelings are the reason why these thoughts show up, not because you want or like them. If you did, you wouldn't be feeling scared and anxious nor will you suffer these thoughts. Always realize when you're triggered and know the thoughts/images are the result of your anxiety. Observe your mind. Don't question if you're a bad person for suffering these thoughts. It's just our minds showing us what it considers a threat to us, for safety. It's a survival instinct. 🍀

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating this. The "nothing is urgent" message alone was so worthy

[yeiraakemicervantes]

Don't be scared! Those thoughts can't harm you. Don't fear them, they can't do anything to you. It's gonna be ok! You will be ok.

After nearly twelve hours straight of obsessive OCD intrusive thoughts, this helped me calm down within only 14 minutes. I cannot thank you enough for creating this.

I’ve never cried during a meditation until I came across this. This is very relatable and it helps realize how I can handle these thoughts. Thank you

[ocdhealingaffirmations]

Thank you so much for creating this!
To everyone who's reading this: I honestly hope you'll find your way to the life you really deserve... ❤️

[jodyturpin]

This is a wonderful meditation. During COVID, I've been struggling with OCD so badly. This speaks to everything I've been feeling and really helps ground me. Thank you so much for creating this!

[CharlotteHardy]

Thank you so much, I found this a few weeks ago and when that overwhelming feeling washes over me, I come here and always realise that it's just ocd, ''This is just anxiety'' is such a useful thing to hear. Thank you so much

Nothing is impossible guys! Never give up!! The key is to understand that all mental illness is situated within the unconscious mind. Overcoming mental health challenges is all about disassociating yourself from the unconscious mind. Consciousness and the now is where freedom and joy is. Through reading, self care, better diet, exercise, therapy and meditation you can learn to begin to detach from the unconscious plague of the mind and step by step walk in the now 😊 keep it up guys! We are in this together ❤️❤️ I love you all

Thanks! I do this meditation every single day and I have now good control and have less intrusive thoughts.

[Trivico]

I really want to thank you for all of your content.
I’m recently diagnosed with ocd which has gone untreated for 30 years.
It’s quite a battle for me.
I use this video in particular to calm myself down, before sleep, while driving, in the supermarket, wherever the need presents.
It makes a tremendous difference for me and I thank you so much for it🙏❤️
I hope wherever you are in life that you are thriving and content🥰

Thank you so so much for this video. I just did this meditating session and it has already relaxed my thoughts and my mind. I have had intrusive thoughts about my mother for about a year now. They are so hard to deal with, I am doing the best I can. I am going to get therapy in a few weeks time which will also help me big time. To anyone out there who goes through similar things, intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety, OCD, I am always a good person to talk to... as I have been through it all. Remember you are loved, strong, brave, worthy, amazing... you can beat whatever you’re going through. It may be difficult, and I know it is, but you can beat anxiety. Amen. ❤️

Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t watched this sooner. I have had it sent to me a few times and never got round to it until today. It is absolutely amazing. You have done so much for the OCD community and it it’s just so amazing. Thank you x

[grovilite]

This is great!! I have OCD, and by far the most difficult part to deal with for me is the intrusive thoughts. It’s important to understand the role of doubt (in that it’s a part of OCD) so I found this video super helpful. Thank you for doing it!

[marzknowledge]

I was shaking and I’m suddenly realize I’m doing everything I can. I have contentment. Thank you for your video. It felt at peace and you have a heavenly friendly voice that helped me so much thru this. I’m going to meditate too this video again
