Too many meditation practices make false claims about clearing the mind and eliminating anxiety. While these are often pleasant side effects of meditation and mindfulness, they are not the intended goal. The only goal of a meditation practice is to be present; to observe the self in the current moment with acceptance and compassion. Daily mindfulness meditations, along with intentional calming strategies and routines work together to decrease anxiety while improving emotion regulation and overall mood.

  1. I take meds for anxiety and hadnt taken them in over a week cuz my mom had to send them. I was feeling extremely sick. I contacted the warden a couple of times and i really didn't have the energy to write a message to the warden saying that they weren't delivered though the website Said it was. I was extremely anxious cuz she's also my teacher and she was kinda offended and was like is that how you say things? You think it's my fault? I apologized a million times and thanked her but i didn't go and immediately collect them once they arrived cuz I would be late for class. And when i did get it I waved the parcel at her and then went close to her and told her I got it and that I was extremely sorry and thanked her. I think I was too disrespectful with that and i don't know how to approach things cuz I was just really happy i got them

  2. Incredible content! I feel so much more relaxed after listening to your meditations. If you want to explore more peaceful journeys, be sure to visit 'The Healing Room' for some of the best guided meditations out there!!!!

  3. my heart rate was speeding up so much so fast and i felt an intense sense of doom, this meditation helped me relax my body that i didn't even realize was tense, and now i feel just a little more at ease <3

  4. When you told me that it's okay to sigh, I had the biggest sigh built up and started crying. It means a lot to me, and to the community, that you take time out of your busy schedule to help us calm down from ours. I will be doing this every morning and night for the next week…seems to be the way to go.❤

  5. Gracias tanks I lot , I feel much better I understand only 90% of the English but I had nice experience I saw A light around me that makes me feel so peaceful ❤ from Pocatello ID

  6. i always come back here when i'm feeling anxious and it helps me so so much. thank you so much for putting this out here it really gives me relief

  7. I just wish I could enjoy my life without the feeling that something really wrong is about to happen. Without being in flight or fight mode. I just want peace.

  8. Thank you so much for this. I’m going in for my third attempt at my driving test and I’ve become overwhelmed with anxiety and fear of failure. But this practice helped me clear my head and I’m going to do this again before I drive it so I can really be calm and not panic ❤

  9. Started watching this video for 3 days already before going to bed, the calming music and voice really helps me feel calm and to sleep. I appreciate this video a lot🙏

  10. Katie, I give thanks to you for this generous offering. It truly helped to settle my mind in a somewhat chaotic household moment inside of a bustling, sometimes cruel city. Thanks again for helping me to turn down the volume on nervous emotions and check in with my presence alignment. 🙏🏽☀️

  11. Thank you for this…I meditate quite often, however this morning was unusually stressed-uncomfortable in my own skin. This did the trick…thank you again. I truly appreciate you taking the time to upload this for all to use
