My therapist shared this video with me and asked me to practice it three times a day. In the beginning of this exercise I was crying.. but I pushed through and after the 15 minutes were over, I felt calm and relaxed.. Thank you for creating this exercise. It's helping me go through every single day.

Wow is all I can say. Started having a panic attack while falling asleep, sat up and tried to take deep breaths and calmed myself but couldn’t stop the body shakes which turned the panic back on. Found this video and it completely slowed everything down for me and before I knew it I was not even realizing how relaxed I was an no more body shakes. At first it wasn’t helping but I pushed through and eventually it worked!

Thank you, this video has really has done some wonders for my constant anxiety and stress.

I've been suffering from panic attacks for a decade now and I had nothing that consistently helped. I really tried everything, but this video in particular has never failed me once. I'm so grateful you made this and that I found it 2 months ago. Thank you so much, you can't imagine the relief I feel everytime it's working. Years of searching and the solution was a 15 minute video with relaxing music, a calming voice and gentle instructions. Thank you 💚

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am that videos like this exists and go see all of the people in the comments who have gotten the same things out of this video. You’re amazing.

My therapist recommended this to me and it has changed my whole view of situations that require calm critical thinking. If you’re someone who suffers from major anxiety and can’t think straight in stressful situations this is 100% for you. Hopefully it has the same mental calming effects on you as it has on me.

[@relaxforawhile]

I’ve been also using this video for a couple years now. I’m recovering from covid and also experiencing an uptick in my anxiety. Is there a reason why this happens?

[@fade410]

I wish I had an explanation for you. I know things have gotten a lot better for me. Just be kind to yourself and take your time. I wish you luck in your recovery.

[@sarasmr4278]

@@courtneycacchione9924 it could be related to histamines. I was just reading last night about low histamine diet for long covid. I have histamine intolerance and the diet makes a huge difference. Histamine acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter (it can make you anxious) as well as being very important in immune response.

I've got anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, ocd, some tics, and my therapist brought up screening for adhd. (Im only 14, and i still need to get through highschool, its a lot to deal with sometimes).

[@aubreyb8575]

Currently, I’m suffering from chronic pain in my neck and back caused by scoliosis. As a result, I have been getting more and more migraines and tension headaches so severe that I have made numerous hospital visits. Recently, I had to stay overnight and I was on an IV just to relieve a single migraine. In addition to this, I suffer from depression and anxiety and those alone cause headaches. The two issues paired together are creating a nightmare for me. My doctor recommended this video to me to ease my mind and muscles. Just tried it for the first time, and while I can’t say that all the pain in my neck has gone down, it is drastically relieved which is saying a lot. Some of the strongest pain killers haven’t done anything for me. This is also the first time in a while where my heart has been at a normal, healthy rate now that my anxiety is calmed. I think I might get some sleep tonight after all (I also suffer from insomnia.. 😓)

I do this at ..well, when we still had our day center i would do meditation and relaxation for my peers after a group..they said my voice was beautiful and made them feel safe calm and relaxed. But i cant do it on myself lol.. i loved this. I felt like i was being comforted by a mother. You are a mum, arent you? ^_^ the only thing for me was i had to tense everything twice. So i tensed, held and let go, then repeated while you spoke about feeling relaxed. I did a chakra clearing before this too, so i feel much, much better! Of course I'll need to do it every day to see real progress, but you have a lovely soft voice, very feminine and delicate. I feel relaxed and comforted for the first time in months..thank you so so so much ♡♡♡

I’ve been having nocturnal panic attacks and waking up with so much tension in my body .. similarly, sometimes my body is so tense to relax and sleep .. (I am dealing with trauma and cPTSD) and I found you because everything I tried didn’t help and I’ve been sitting with my tension for hours now .. I cried my eyes out and that didn’t help relief the tension out but this did .. I feel much better .. There are still areas where I still feel tense .. like my spine and my limbs always go stiff (some of it is pain memory) and though this helped .. it’s not completely gone. I will try this some more times and hopefully it will be helpful for the long run
