Podcasts about Guided meditation

If the long golden evenings of summer make you feel a heavy sense of guilt—like you should be out doing something productive with all that beautiful light—and instead you just feel restless and unable to settle in, this session was built exactly for you. In tonight's episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin helps you transition from a busy day into a peaceful evening. Using the slipping light of a late summer sunset, this practice leverages the concept of neuroception to retrain your nervous system to actively notice safety instead of constantly scanning for what's next. Through a science-backed 4-2-6 breathing technique and a beautifully visual journey into the "glimmers" of twilight, you'll give your mind and body ultimate permission to slow down, shed the day's negativity, and rest. Whether you are struggling with late-day restlessness or summer seasonal anxiety, let this 10-minute guided meditation ground you. Take a moment to simply be in the light rather than trying to use it. New to the podcast? Hit Follow now so tomorrow's evidence-based session finds you automatically.

Start your morning by opening your heart and mind with the power of gratitude. This guided meditation walks you through breathwork, a heart-centered gratitude practice, and gentle visualization designed to shift your mindset before the day gets a chance to affect you...leaving you calmer, more grounded, and more open to the good already moving toward you. Most mornings get handed over to notifications, to-do lists, and yesterday's leftover stress before you've even had a chance to choose how you want to feel. This meditation is the alternative. A few quiet minutes spent here, and you're starting your day from gratitude and openness instead of urgency... a small but powerful shift that, practiced daily, changes far more than just your morning. This meditation guides you through: - Deep, grounding breathwork to release tension and calm your mind - A heart-centered gratitude practice that turns appreciation into a felt experience, not just a thought - Gently releasing self-doubt and limiting beliefs that block you from receiving good things - Guided visualization to help you feel abundance, ease, and positive energy as already present in your life - Closing affirmations to anchor gratitude and openness as your new baseline Make this part of your morning routine...listen while you're still in bed, making coffee, or getting ready for your day. Be sure to listen all the way through for the full experience. The more consistently you return to it, the more naturally gratitude and abundance start to feel like your default state, not something you have to reach for. #gratitude #meditation #morningmeditation Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://studio.com/wakemeup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

If there is a painful memory, an old grudge, or a person you keep replaying in your mind, today is your day to let go of what no longer serves you. Releasing the past isn't about pretending it didn't happen; it's about freeing yourself from the heavy baggage that weighs you down so you can carry less and breathe more. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic release practice. You will discover how the body physically stores the tension of old emotional hurts and learn how to consciously loosen your grip on these negative anchors. Whether you are carrying a recent disappointment or a long-held injustice, this gentle guided meditation will help you break free from old stories, process past pain without judgment, and reclaim the peace that belongs to you in the present moment. Time Chapters00:00 – Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You 00:33 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin Hewlett 01:16 – Identifying Your Negative Anchors 01:43 – Somatic Breathing: Relaxing and Letting Go 02:02 – How the Body Holds Stress and Emotional Trauma 03:01 – Visualization: Lightening the Weight of Old Hurts 04:08 – Guided Affirmations for Deep Emotional Release 07:02 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Moving Beyond the Past 08:25 – Grounding and Returning Awareness to the Room 08:46 – Martin's Personal Journey: Training the Mind to Find the Light 09:52 – Outro: Becoming Your Own Beacon of Hope AffirmationsRepeat these words silently or softly out loud to loosen the grip of old emotional ties: "I release what no longer serves me." "I am not anchored to my past pain." "I let go of the crutches and the fears that weigh me down." "I am free to grow beyond old stories." "I choose peace over the weight I've been carrying." 3 Daily Caring TipsName the Anchor: You cannot release what you haven't consciously identified. Take a moment today to specifically name one grudge, old story, or hurt you are ready to put down; naming it out loud immediately strips away some of its power. The Release Ritual: Physically write down the thing that is weighing you down in just one sentence. Fold the paper up or place it in a drawer to send a physical signal to your nervous system that it is safe to stop holding on. Loosen the Grip: Real emotional release rarely happens all at once, and that is perfectly okay. When the old thought or memory returns today, don't fight it—simply focus on holding it a little more loosely than you did yesterday. OutroLetting go of trauma and old injustices can be one of the hardest things we ever achieve, but please remember that whatever you are going through right now, there is always light and there is always hope. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped lighten your emotional load today, please consider sharing this episode with someone in your life who might be quietly carrying their own heavy anchors. You might be the beacon of hope they need to finally breathe easier. Thank you so much for putting your faith, trust, and time into this practice. Practice positivity when you see your reflection, smile often, and in every thought, word, and deed—be kind.

If checking your bank balance leaves you with a tight knot in your chest, or if paying the monthly bills feels like a battle you can't win, this episode is your sanctuary. Financial anxiety is not a personal failure; it is a natural response from an overwhelmed nervous system reacting to a perceived threat. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic relaxation practice.You will learn how to settle your nervous system, untangle your self-worth from a number on a screen, and quiet the mental overwhelm of money worries. Discover how to soften the physical tension of stress, find stillness between your breaths, and take back control of your peace of mind—one small, manageable step at a time. Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding Financial Anxiety as a Nervous System Response 00:41 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin 01:14 – Somatic Breathing Exercise for Panic and Stress Relief 02:17 – Releasing the Weight of Money Worries 02:41 – Finding Stillness: The Nervous System Reset 03:46 – Guided Visualisation & Positive Affirmations for Abundance 07:26 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Managing Financial Stress 08:49 – Bringing Awareness Back & Grounding 09:20 – Outro, Sharing the Sanctuary & Closing Thoughts Episode AffirmationsRepeat these words silently in your mind or softly out loud during the practice to let them settle as truth: "My bank balance is a number, it is not a measure of my worth." "I am capable of handling my finances one small step at a time." "This worry is a feeling passing through me, it is not a forecast of my future." "I release the need to solve everything about money right now in this exact moment." "I am safe in this moment, even while my finances are still being figured out." 3 Daily Caring TipsThe One-Look Rule: Avoid compulsively refreshing your banking apps, which only feeds the anxious loop. Choose one intentional moment today to check your balance, close the app, and let it be enough until tomorrow. Separate the Maths from the Meaning: A fluctuating number is just data. Notice when your anxious mind starts spinning stories around that data—such as feelings of being "behind" or "not enough." The One-Step Rule: You don't need to fix your entire financial future today. Take just one small, completed action: open one envelope, write down one expense, or send one message to quiet the overwhelm. Social Media Outro & ShareIf financial anxiety is sitting heavily on your shoulders today, please know that you are not alone. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped you breathe a little easier, please consider sharing this episode with a friend, loved one, or colleague who might be quietly carrying the exact same weight. You could be the reason someone else finds their peace today. Thank you for your continued faith and trust in my work. Don't bury your head in the sand—one small step is all it takes. Be positive, smile often, and above all, be kind.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Resistance can show up as frustration, stress, anxiety, or the feeling that life should be different than it is. This meditation helps you meet those moments with greater awareness, compassion, and emotional resilience. Discover the calm that becomes available when you stop pushing against the present moment. Love,

Healing was never meant to mean I feel calm all the time. In part two, I take apart the misconceptions that keep sensitive people stuck, starting with the belief that a trigger tells me something true about someone else. Often it reveals where my own window still needs cleaning. When a dysregulated nervous system drives the bus, fear makes our decisions for us.

There are moments happening in your life right now that your anxious mind is walking straight past. Tiny, warm moments that exist quietly in the background of your day, waiting to be noticed. Psychologists call them "glimmers," and the neuroscience is clear: the more you train your brain to find them, the more your nervous system shifts out of threat mode. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we aren't pretending your problems have gone away; we are simply showing your brain that there is more to your story than just the difficult parts. Through deep, mindful breathing, we activate the vagus nerve to establish safety and connection. Then, we take a gentle walk through an ordinary day to re-tune your brain's survival scanner away from danger and toward warmth. Episode Chapters00:00 – Cold Intro: What Are Glimmers? 00:50 – Welcome from Martin & Settling into Your Space 01:44 – Arriving in the Present & Letting the Noise Move Back 02:33 – Vagus Nerve Activation: The Power of the Long Exhale 04:01 – Guided Walk Through an Ordinary Day 06:21 – Re-Tuning the Scanner: The Neuroscience of Safety 07:14 – Affirmations to Soften Your Anxious Mind 08:29 – 3 Daily Caring Tips to Train Your Brain 10:02 – Returning Awareness & Closing Thoughts Today's Grounding AffirmationsLet these words land gently and feel the warmth they bring to your chest: "I notice what is warm, I notice what is good." "My day contains more light than my anxiety tells me." "I am becoming someone who hunts the glimmers, not threats." "I deserve to feel a quiet beauty that already surrounds me." "For good moments are real, they count, I allow them in." "I am grateful, I am present, I am here." 3 Daily Caring TipsTake these simple, powerful habits with you to rewrite your neural pathways today: The One Glimmer Rule: Before you check your phone, notifications, or messages today, find one physical glimmer first—a sound, a texture, or a temperature. Just notice it. Pass One On: Share a single sentence about a glimmer you found with someone else today. Sharing a glimmer multiplies it and shifts two nervous systems at once. The Evening Collect: Before sleep, ask yourself: "What was my glimmer today?" This single habit trains your brain to look for safety and does wonders for anxiety. If this session helped re-tune your nervous system today, please subscribe and share it with a friend or family member who needs a gentle reminder that there are still good moments out there. Your shares are exactly how our daily show reaches the people who need it the most. If you want to go deeper on your journey to peace, try the Anxiety Breaker course at calminganxiety.fm, featuring five targeted, guided hypnotherapy sessions designed by me to reset your mind. Have a lovely day, smile always, bring positivity when you can, and to your beautiful soul—be kind.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. When you've been carrying too much for too long, your mind and body deserve a chance to rest.

Stop Negative Thoughts Before They Start — A Monday Morning Reset

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin with a brief introduction to the theme of this evening's talk on the foundations of our practice—avoiding “unskillful” or “unwholesome” actions and states of mind (and knowing how to practice when they arise), on the one hand, and developing skillful or wholesome qualities, on the other. There is then a guided practice, linked with the talk theme, focused on developing (1) concentration (samadhi), (2) mindfulness (sati), and (3) awareness of reactivity, developed in part by noticing how we relate to what is moderately pleasant or unpleasant.
