Guided Meditation for Anxiety: Letting the Body Release and Settle

Anxiety doesn’t live only in your thoughts. It lives in your muscles, breath, and nervous system.

In this longer guided meditation, we work directly with the body to release stored tension and shift out of survival mode. Through breathwork, progressive muscle release, gentle attention shifts, and grounding touch, your nervous system learns the contrast between braced and safe.

This practice helps discharge anxious energy, calm the stress response, and bring your body back into a settled state, rather than trying to think your way into calm.

Use this episode when anxiety feels intense, when your body won’t slow down, or anytime you need real nervous system relief.

Many people notice deeper breathing, softer muscles, emotional release, and a stronger sense of ease by the end of this meditation.

Come back to it whenever your system needs a reset.
