This 10 minute anxiety relief practice to calm your anxious thoughts guides you through an effective breathing technique which calms your nervous system, therefore allowing your anxious thoughts to slow down. Relieving your anxiety takes time, simply because your brain and nervous system must learn that you are safe. Once it feels safe, your body will slowly adapt and move into your parasympathetic nervous system. This breathwork focused meditation is designed to calm anxious thoughts and is an effective anxiety relief practice as it guides you through a simple yet powerful breathwork exercise to calm your anxious mind. This guided meditation is created by Katie McLaughlin, LPCC-S, founder of Cedar Rose Counseling & Wellness—a holistic therapy practice specializing in anxiety treatment for women. At Cedar Rose, we believe healing happens when we address the whole person—mind, body, and nervous system. This meditation is rooted in evidence-based practices to help you relieve anxiety and experience calm. If you're struggling with anxiety and want deeper support: I offer holistic anxiety therapy for women throughout Ohio (in-person West Chester + online statewide). We work on understanding what's happening in your nervous system, healing at the root, and building sustainable calm.
