I hope everyone who's watching this has the strength to just get of bed today , the that you're watching this video means that you're trying, and that's enough ♥
I lost my job and I don't know what to do now🙂
@@shadow7082 im with you on that, im a live event technician, family to support and its all just getting really heavy
Some of us have anxiety where we can’t sleep that is tough too
Yes i am trying too. A lot courage required to do it. 🙃
I struggle to get out of bed. I hate this feeling.
June 27. My wife 46 birthday, Her health is not good. We met in 1973. I stumbled across this video. Thank you Richard in Toronto.
Happy Birthday to her, wishing her feel better soon 😊 🙏
how old was ur wife if she is 46 now, but yall met in 1973 LMAO.... was she even alive then
@@molfairyWhy is no one else doing the math? He also her dad?
@@molfairythought the same lol might be a language barrier and meant 46 years of marriage.
It may be 64 years old he wanted to write@@molfairy
You are a very calm caring lady. This helped me. I'm going to watch it over and over again. I have to learn how to bring my mind to the present. Overthinking is my demon. God bless all of you beautiful people. ❤️
Hate anxiety. I really don't want to get out of bed and go to work most days. Hoping these mindfulness exercises help me out.
And did it?
For me it helped......
Same problem
Useful video. To reduce overthinking and stress most important is to be careful what you feed your mind and body. Avoid comparing yourself with others, any bottled up emotions need to be shared with someone, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit anywhere or lay down--eyes open or closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Never meditate with expectations. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath day and night before sleep, when travelling, when reading, at the workplace etc, etc. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Spot on. Another thing to remember is that if you absolutely have to be around negative people or negative things (aka a toxic work environment), be mindful to not let that impact you. Think of ways you can get out of that situation like finding a new job, but in the interval, you can't let that environment impact you. Just think of it as white noise. You can hear it, you can see it, but you can always choose to drown it out as background noise and let it go through in one ear and out the other.
Found this during an anxiety attack and realized I practiced with this teacher once at a retreat. This was very soothing. Thank you.
I’m at the airport and I felt an anxiety attack coming on and I found this video. The calming voice just calmed me down. Thank you
Found this. Thank you! Was having a mild anxiety attack
Me too!
Same here. Breathing is key. God Bless everyone.
if depressed one’s living in the past
if anxious one’s living in the future
this isn’t the asmr video I was looking for, but it’ll do
Thank you
for this!! I have type 1 diabetes, and this morning i had my first high, with my sugar being 376. I treated it, then listened to this, and my sugar went back in range!!!😊
Perfect video! It works if you're on a time crunch and need a quick way to relieve any stress/anxiety you may be feeling. Life sometimes brings us down, but the best part is, we can always go up!
Thank you Christiane , what you said about the mind is either in the past, rehashing or in the future, rehearsing. That is so well said and really clarified things for me!
Thank you for this
Thanks bautiful woman soul, Dr, I always think I am too stresed and anxious to ever be able to concentrate on following a stranger canned on YT. But it being only for 4 mins removed a defiance. The peaceful face removed another hindrance, the balanced, truthful compassionate voice took my lat resistence away. Ingenious also to let it play anew by itself!
Lucky your friends, love to you and everyone honestly struggling for well-being. Peace is so close, and blessed are we if we find it in dying of our egos before we die from this life. I pray for us all to heal now, and to do each our own needed changes of habits and ways. Thank you Lord for your healing love pouring through us ceaselessly, thank you for our freedom to receive it or leave it. Bless this Dr, and bless us all. Thank you for all our precious lives and possibilities.
what if the 'present moment' is full of pain? i have chronic head pain as part of depression, anxiety.. i sit with this and its close to intolerable...
My mental health has been quite weird honestly…
Anxiety. Emetophobia. Nostalgic depression. I get anxiety in the morning, noon, and the deep nostalgic depression at night. Sometimes both of them hit at the same time and it ruins my day/appetite. Been like this for about a year and a half. I’m 17.
I feel stuck because I feel like I can’t tell anyone about this. I’m not close enough with my friends to talk to them about this. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my issues with the school councillor/teachers/police/strangers, etc. I know if I tell my mum she’ll use it against me in arguments (verbally abusive) and just put me down when she’s in a bad mood (she has very unstable mood patterns). If I tell my dad, well, he doesn’t believe in mental health issues. Once I tried to reach him little about my anxiety and he told me he has it too, but how he dealt with it was to suck it up, study hard, and it’s very obvious that he thinks he’s helping. And when he thinks he’s right, he becomes stubborn and there’s no way I can help him help me on this mental illness situation.
What bothers me the most currently is the nostalgic depression. Literally everything makes me nostalgic. Looking out the window, etc. it’s absurd. I think I miss my childhood before Covid, because that’s when quarantine began and relationships failed. Now it’s so bad because I have school and going into uni. I wish I could just be a careless child again. I wish there were no responsibilities and just friends. No loneliness. Loneliness is what I face on a day to day basis at school because I am swept up in nostalgic depression or social anxiety. I am starting to see no point in anything.
My mental health is getting worse by the day but I’m keeping my mouth shut. I just hope everything would resolve in my head. I am so desperate to tell someone in person about my struggles but no person is available to me, at least one I feel comfortable bawling my feelings out to. However there’s no one out there.
What should I do next?
hi are u okay
I experienced some difficult times too when I was your age. I’m about 15 years further along and I can see that it gets better. I wish I knew what to tell you to help you through what you’re experiencing right now. There are people who do care. You’re doing the right thing looking for them.
First rule of happiness accept life for what it is..then u won't feel anxious about what it should have been. Pray n listen mindful music..your young alot is left to experience. Be 💪
Your not alone plenty of people in the same situation remember that and it good to find people that also go through the same stuff you be surprised how many people suffer from this and hide it. So always look for groups and reach out to other people that go through this so you can help each other out. God bless and I hope your doing better
Dont worry about these problems. I also had these problems. But over came them. Here are very useful tips. 1, if u have time try to walk 45 minutes briskly inthe morning, as it will produce happy hormones in ur Brain. 2, Half an hour meditation morning and evening. 3, Do diaphramatic breathing whenever u feel tense. It will instantly calm sure. 4,Listen to music and talk to people, make friends. 5, practise shavasana ie corpse posture of yoga which is highly relaxing. These steps will surely make you calm and happy. Its my experience
Simple and clear. Perfect
In this fast moving world of chaos and stress we need all the help we can get, this is definitely the answer answer, thankyou 😁
Beautiful, short, and sweet. I just shared your video with my beautiful daughter.
It was so helpfull.....❤ I did not expect that to work so magically 💫 i instantly felt my anxiety going away THANKYOU SO MUCH....😇
Thank you for this interesting mindful technique 🙏.
Jai ho Om namo bhagwate vasudevaay❤❤
Thank you 💚🌿✨ Meditation is a blessing because it empowers to break free from the shackles of stress and anxiety, ushering in a sense of serenity.

Thank you thank you so much for this practice!! It helped me alot! I was in a very terrible situation and this practice makes me feel better now! So thank you and ALHUMDULLILAH
I really needed this. Will come back here often. Thanks so much for this video.
Wonderful way of explaining this, thank you! Very soothing voice as well.
the best ❤
Idk how I'll live much longer , get my stolen life, home and health back. But right now, I calmed down a little with this good woman, and feel grateful to be alive, to get a new chance every moment, . tank you Lord for every breath, for the wonder of my body and soul, and for fellow humans.

So be it. :-)
Hi Claudia, how's your day going with you?
5G? The internet? You realize you have every radio station going through your body right now? 5G is just the name for a frequency at which data is sent. Please read a book.
I enjoy this meditation it has helped me stop overthinking
Thank you for this!
Thanks
had to go four days without my anxiety medication. thank you for this!! i’m slowly getting back on it and the anxiety is still there, but the panic attacks and insomnia is gone luckily 🙌
Thank you for the short breathing exercise! I enjoyed bringing my mind to the present and reminding myself that, in all honesty, yes, I'm okay. That helped me in the middle of a crazy 12hr shift. 🙂 I have high anxiety and work at a very busy urban hospital in the OR.
Thank you this was helpful!
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much
Wonderful, thank you ❤
Thank you!
It was so helpful to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
Life changing thanks!!!
Thank you so much .
How wonderful. Thank you for this beautiful session. I found your knowledge and explanations so sensitive and soft and warm. When there is a willingness to connect with others, anxiety can be explored, with awareness in order to reduce it's impact. Patience, showing up and being kind to ourselves when we fall is like retraining the amygdala in the present moment. With awareness, this becomes our super power to being with the anxiety that comes and managing it better. Waving to you with love, Marie-Louise from Cornwall, UK ❤
Thank you. That was very soothing
Thank you 💖
Thank you. This video is really helpful. Thank you again.
My mind is all over the place! It's so hard to live with..! My future doesn't look so good....

Very helpful!
Any body how are here and watching this video, you are not too bad, because you could open your computer and seek help.
for all of you, what ever this nasty feelings are, they are going to go over. :) happy to get rid of this
thank you, you've just helped me, and improved my day
Cool video. Now I know more about breathing.
Great activity! Very relaxing
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just cried the entire time 😅
You're not the only one.
thank you!! i have a play in 2 days + just had a breakdown.
Aaaaand, how did it go?
what if your body is stack in anxiety while your mind is fine, i have no thoughts that upset me but my body starts feeling tense and its hard for me to relax
I've learned to somewhat control my anxiety but at times it'll be a bit more than I can handle. I get the chills, rapid heart rate, dizziness, sometimes nausea and it sucks. Had an anxiety disorder couple years ago and I would have an anxiety/panic attack multiple times a day. I do smoke a lot and drink a lot of coffee and it's been a pattern I've noticed where if on an empty stomach I'll get it. I've tried to learn to just breathe slow, stretch and tell yourself "you're okay". Even though it's hard to do you have to tell your brain that you are fine it's just an anxiety attack and they suck! They make you feel terrible. Stress was the factor for me. Lately I've had lack of sleep and work stress. Hope everyone here over comes their problems!
Thank you for this! I also get dizzy when I have anxiety but I'm confused whether or not that's the cause. Other than that, acceptance really is hard, but it's best to let the feelings flow and move on. Then overtime, it will slowly disappear. Thank you once again for this comment.
@@lukeout1 What makes it worse too is hyperventilating. You have to control your breathing, and sometimes its easier said than done. Before i thought i had some type of heart condition because it just wasnt right but my doctor ran tons of tests and it was always fine. sometimes an anxiety/panic attack can actually feel like somethings going to happen but thats where the controlled breathing comes in. i know it sucks believe me. again, id get chills, dizziness, nausea, couldnt talk (basically choke up), very increased heart rate, and sometimes chest pain can be a part of it. at times ill be pacing back and forth and literally start freaking out making it worse. Like my dad always told me its literally all in your head your body is just finding alternative ways to cope with stress. you will be okay, sometimes talking to someone and taking a walk helps and it helped me! Be careful for meds as well and find a natural way to calm down
@@lukeout1 sorry for my long reply but i figured id let you and others know that i have had it severely, my heart rate at the hospital one time was 187 so that can tell you how severe it was for me and i ended up crying in the hospital because of how bad it was controlling my life and causing depression. i promise youll get through it and yes it will go away! youll have your days and at one point it will become manageable
I am working on my anxiety.
HIGH VIBES ❤❤❤️
I have struggled my whole life and I’m 64 years old. It’s so hard to quiet the mind and stay in the moment
thankyou very helpful its awful 😖
Hey if anyone can answer me I have a question. Will quitting nicotine help me to reduce stress and sadness?? I want to know. Thank you
My whole body is shaking … my present situation is frightening 😰
I’m feeling so anxious right now and I’m having such bad anxiety my stomach is turning and my chest is feeling so heavy and I’m feeling like I can’t breathe I’m feeling my anxiety in my chest and In my stomach
I hope you’re doing better now
@@Busyreadinggg I’m not doing any better it’s gotten worse
@@mahdiyyahvarachia6876 i can relate 😔
Does meditation really take away the anxiety fully?
My mind is in fantasy and not always good ones.
This made me feel much better, thank you for this masterpiece, which doesn't encourage the usual "relief", but instead to accept the feelings with kindness!

Pa Auk has changed their meditation instructions because of their errors. Please look at Mistakes of pa auk meditation.
I am pretty frustrated, i have tried this so many times and for some reason it doesn't work for me. I tried many breathing types to calm down tried many different time spawns about breathing in and out and it just doesn't work. Could somebody help me about it? It gets so bad i get nauseous and throw up almost every 2 day later...
@LisaAniston shut up
No , THANK YOU !
Ok, cmon... you and I - we’ll do this together. We’re gonna wisk this away in no time at all. Don’t resist or fight the anxiety, just embrace it with all you got. You’re doing awesome right now!!! Just let it float away on its own.
See, it’s already evaporating....It’s dripping off your fingertips...Feel it melt off yourself. See, there it goes......we’re all here with you right now!!! we love you . I can hardly feel anything anymore. You did awesome! I love you! There you go... the emotion you’re feeling right now is your body releasing all that pent up anxiety....THIS emotion is good...let it all out... ahhhhh.
At peace... at peace.... at peace... at peace....🙏🏻🌼🍀☀️✨🌼🍀🌼🍀🐣🌼🍀☀️✨🙏🏻
This is so good but a bit short. Half an hour more would half been better.
My mind is always in fantasy
😎
I was having an anxiety attack tyy
3:15 am I okay right now⁉️
I can’t do this anymore my anxiety is too high and the worse part is I’m about to give birth
3:20 Am I okay right now⁉️
Pam?
This doesn't work for me - yes I'm in the future, and no I don't know that the future is going to be okay because there are lots of problems in my life. So yeah if I'm fine in the moment, then it seems like we're saying "Well you're fine right now, you're not in imminent danger, so you shouldn't be feeling anxious, just don't worry about all the other stuff that's going to come and bite you on the ass. Now run along". I watched this on the 4th day of anxiety driven chest pain.
Same same...
How are you doing?
@@annaberg1200 surviving, but still have the chest pains.
@@annaberg1200 how are you?
@@davidrgilson I'm having a very hard time.!!
@@davidrgilsonare you better now ?
Reading the comments I get the feeling that most people commenting live in their problems/sorrow, and don't want to do the work. Seems like they're looking for the Standard American Quick fix without the effort. Woe is me.
This doesnt work.
You can allso get drunk and have a good time, even make some new friends along the "journey".
Didn't help at all.
This didn't help 😡🤬🤬🤬
