In this guided breathwork and meditation session, you’ll be gently supported in creating space between yourself and the experience of anxiety. Through simple breath techniques and embodied awareness, you’ll shift out of future-focused worry and return to the present moment. This practice invites you to come home to your body, regulate your nervous system, and remember that you are not your anxiety—you are simply having an experience, and you are safe to feel and release it.

Welcome.

If you are experiencing anxiety right now,

Or you're used to experiencing it throughout the day,

This is for you my love.

The anxiety you experience is not who you are.

And it's an experience that you are having.

When we can let go of the identity of anxiety,

And allow it to be just an experience that we have,

An energy that sometimes comes and goes.

Our body reacts differently with it.

I know this because I've been there.

So it felt near and dear to my heart to share this with you.

So my invitation for you my love,

Is to allow yourself to get 1% more comfortable wherever you are.

If it feels good to you to close your eyes,

And take a deep inhale in through your nose.

And a slightly longer exhale through your mouth.

And continuing this breath at your own pace,

Your own space.

You are safe here.

You are safe here.

There is nowhere to be and there is nothing to do,

Except to allow yourself to be present.

To be in this space.

To be here now.

As if taking off glasses,

Anxiety glasses,

And letting go of the yesterdays and tomorrows with every exhale.

With every inhale just coming back to your body.

Noticing your breath.

How it feels at the tip of your nose.

Where that breath wants to land.

Your heart,

Your belly.

Nothing else matters.

Inhaling in,

I am safe and here now.

Letting that breath guide you.

To be your anchor,

To be here in the present moment,

Right now.

There is nothing to do.

There is nowhere to be.

You are doing so good love.

Continuing to breathe and be with your body.

You get to live from right here in your body.

Invitation to maybe even add and place your hand on your heart space.

Or to notice your feet wherever they may be.

On the ground,

On the bed,

On whatever surface you are at.

And just notice how that feels.

The grounding of your feet.

The pressure of your hand on your heart space.

I am safe and here now.

I am safe and here now.

And invitation to take that inhale just 1% more deeper.

That exhale 1% longer.

I am safe and here.

Invitation to come back to your natural breath.

Knowing that you can keep this feeling,

This lightness,

This softness,

This presence.

As long as you can holding on to it even as you go back to your natural breath.

In your natural breath I am safe and here now.

This moment is always here for you.

Your body,

Your breath,

This presence.

It is always here for you.

Invitation to just thank yourself for giving you this space.

To shift this experience,

This feeling.

Into presence.

Into your body.

Into your being and your breath.

You get to continue to have this throughout your day today.

For as long as you can,

As long as you desire.
