my daughters derelization has been affecting her lately, she has ptsd from a past episode she had and she has been struggling very badly, she’s 13 years old. I’ve been pushing her to try to be stronger for herself and giving her all of the support she needs, and I’ve realized meditation has helped her so much. It completely masks her anxiety, and she’s able to feel at ease even if It’s for 5 minutes, I’m so grateful to have people like us in the comments to know that we are not alone. I pray my daughter will realize she isn’t either, and that this anxiety is curable.

The fact that you have a clock in the background aduibly ticking is brilliant. I dont know if it was on purpose or not but it gives the person listening something real to focus on while you're talking, in case we cant hear anything where we are.

I love how you keep repeating: when thoughts come, and they will...

Anxiety is like a weight on your shoulder and never goes away never stops being heavy but with meditation and patience anything can happen I've learned to accept my feelings me fears and let go and find some sort of of peace within myself and meditation and mindfulness has had a huge part in helping with that. I wish anyone reading this to have some peace and love and tranquility bestowed upon you and just know that you are okay and everything is gonna be okay and god loves you and so do I

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

I felt like drinking some coffee today because i need to study for a exam, but it made me really anxious, the worst i've been in months. I can't put into words how much this helped me. Thank you

My Mom has been causing a lot of anxiety for my wife and I. Stomach feels knotted, it feels like there's a beehive in my chest causing me to think and feel at 100mph. This is helping me to slow down and get some control over my body again. Thank you

Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

I have tried many guided meditations but my mind is like a whirlwind recently and seeking a psychologist’s help. This one is the only one that has resonated with me, and my chronic anxiety just slows down to a peaceful state when I do it, and which now is often. Thank you

This meditation was exactly what I needed. Feeling lighter.

Meditation saved my life, having to wake up every single day not confortable in your own body, it was terrible for me to the point I question myself if it was worth living a life like that.. I am grateful meditation exist

I have been meditating daily for 5 minutes with youtube videos but for a some time now I have been finding it hard to focus, with this video it worked as it used to before. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this, I am 12 and later I’ve been stuck and sad and lonely because I am moving to a new middle school so my anxiety has gotten worse and I keep thinking about the bad things but when I listen to this I feel better and calm myself and focus on the good, thank you ❤

This meditation somehow made me more stressed ... Your voice is SO lovely and the instructions to observe your thoughts and let them pass are perfect, but somehow the repetition of "I'll deal with that later" ratcheted up my anxiety more! I was unable to stay in the present moment ... why so many times?

[prismwing]

This meditation has been awesome for me. I wasn't even entirely focused on it half the time, and now I feel like I'm on the mend. It doesn't make me feel good as new or anything, but I'd say it has been a life saver in this moment.

[khalivhkrtn]

I was having a minor anxiety attack I’m glad this helps
