Guided Anxiety Rescue

As a long time sufferer of anxiety and bipolar depression, this just flew onto paper on a day when life was a challenge for no other reason than just being a Tuesday. I hope this brings you back down to Earth as fast as it was downloaded to me. You are always worthy.

Transcript

You are here in your body.

You are not anxiety.

Taking a deep breath in through your nose.

Counting for one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

And hold and slowly hiss out your air until it is gone.

Let's do that together.

Breathing in for a count of four.

Holding and hissing.

Let's do that one more time.

Deep breath in for four through your nose.

Hold and hiss.

Keep repeating this breathing pattern as I speak.

This attack is not your fault.

Your body is just protecting you from the fear or from the trauma.

You are not anxiety.

Breathing in.

Hold and hiss.

If you are able,

Start slowly snapping your fingers.

Both hands together.

And then one hand back and forth.

Then again together.

And then back and forth.

One at a time.

Remember to keep that breathing.

Snapping those hands.

Slow down that snapping.

Deep breath in.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold and release.

You are strong.

You are loved.

You are light.

And you are worthy.

Reviews

The affirmations really calmed my anxiety, but I'm not prone to panic attacks. It was very grounding, although I'm not one to relax with counted breathes. The hissing exhales are a real take-home. That works

Wow! I felt an anxiety attack coming on, I think that stayed it off. Bookmarking! Thank you!

Very calming. I tried this at a time when I was not in crisis and can really see how this could help when I'm in the midst of a meltdown. Bookmarked!

The best release for panic ever! I feel hopeful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Beautiful!

Very nice, thank you!
