3 minute mindfulness

Struggling with anxiety?

Anxiety is one of the most prevalent struggles that people experience. When anxiety takes over, your mind and body can feel disconnected. It may be difficult to maintain a regular breathing rhythm, it is hard to stay present, and accessing your usual coping tools becomes challenging. That’s where mindfulness meditation can be so powerful. It helps you to slow down, regulate your breathing, be more present and think clearly again.

You’re not alone when it comes to anxiety — and you don’t have to navigate it without support. Mindfulness meditation for anxiety is really effective in helping the mind and the body regulate. Making space for emotional wellness through mindfulness and compassion can support anyone experiencing stress, anxiety or worry.

Guided Meditation for Anxiety

This practice offers a grounded, body-based approach to anxiety relief. You’ll be guided to:

  • Settle into a relaxed but alert posture

  • Focus on the breath and bodily sensations

  • Gently acknowledge distractions like anxious thoughts or physical discomfort

  • Come back — again and again — to the present moment

Over time, this helps retrain your nervous system to respond with calm rather than panic.
