Counting Breaths For Nighttime Anxiety

This meditation uses the simple practice of counting the breath to steady the mind and ease nighttime anxiety. By gently following each inhale and exhale with a number, your attention has a safe anchor, helping thoughts slow and the body settle. Over time, this rhythmic focus can quiet worry, creating the conditions for calm and restful sleep. While the meditation offers a seated posture, this meditation can also be done lying down.
