This might come off weird, but seeing the comments and seeing how many more people have a lot of anxiety too really helps
I have this feeling too.
Not weird at all. Knowing that you are not alone and not the only person in the world suffering with anxiety would give you a certain level of comfort. The more you learn about yourself and anxiety itself, the more you will be in control of it. Highly recommend finding a group of people online or in your community to start talking and learning about anxiety. Talk therapy one on one is good too.
...this is not..weird..at all... 1 in 3/5 people in ..the world..suffer from some form of anxiety/depressive illness...from the mild to the severe...old..young..rich..poor..male...female...we all need ..love..hugs..understanding and compassion from each other.It’s cool...and remember there is someone up above.Bright Moments to you 🌈
@Chris Whitty its not. It's Gon. If you are watching anime then you will know.
@Chris Whitty first I'm not gay. I have a high paying job and most importantly I don't smoke or drink. Maybe it's you who should get a life instead of lurking in someone's comment commenting nasty things instead of uplifting and motivating them because honestly your kind is one of the many reason why we have this health problem.
For all of us going through this, helps to know that anxiety is ONLY an emotion and I can control it!!
So right as i read your comment I immediately calmed down for some reason thanks!
@@marywalker3811 that’s awesome!
I wish i could agree with you.
Leitia, this over simplification.
I FORGOT! THANKS! DONT LET EMOTION GET ATTACH TO YOU 😇🙏
This literally took my heart rate from 132 down to 95 . You’re a blessing.
That's fantastic!
Same it’s so crazy how it helped me so much.
Lol that’s exactly what it did for me
Thanks for sharing

I feel like crying. I had a very bad anxiety for a week, heartaches and a lot of stress and nausea but after doing it 3 times i feel so great! Thank you for sharing with us. I’m feeling overwhelmed to see a comunity with the same issue like me, makes me feel that I ‘m not alone. I pray for every each of you to have a peaceful life and keep fighting strong !
I'm so glad it helped! You definitely are not alone. It seems everyone has anxiety these days, to some extent. It's not all bad - it's what has kept us alive. But being in a chronic state of anxiety is taxing for the body and mind. It's good to have techniques like the one in this video that you can do easily at any time.
Thank you
I've recently been experiencing the worst panic attacks and anxiety I've ever felt, to the point I took myself to the ER because I was worried I was having a heart attack. It's so healing to know there's people who can, want to, and are trained to help you, and to see other folks dealing with the same stuff. We feel so alone when we're in the middle of it, but grounding ourselves with others- even strangers- is probably the most helpful thing. Your comment also helped me, so thank you
@@Fatadevisme too ❤❤
Thank you this is helping me. Having anxiety is really hard. I hate my thoughts. I know it’s not real but it just keep coming back. It’s hard to breathe and your chest is so tight and heavy.
I know exactly what you mean. I lay in bed uncomfortable because it feels like a car is sitting on my chest.
Sasha same girl... same
Same 😭
I feel better knowing I'm not alone^^
Ya, I do the same thing and it’s terrible!
This was so useful, I started panicking out of nowhere and feeling nauseous bc of my anxiety but this easily calmed me, thank you!

To you reading this right now... you are beautiful. Everything will work itself out. Everyone here knows how you feel right now. This feeling sucks, but know that you will be be ok. This too shall pass...Don’t fight the anxiety, just allow it to work it’s way through. Embrace the moment as you become at peace with things. Now I want you to close your eyes and place your hands in front of you and lightly wiggle your fingers like you’re playing a piano. You are shedding this off as we speak. It’s dripping off your fingertips...Feel it melt off yourself. See, there it goes......we love you . At peace... at peace.... at peace... at peace....🙏🏻🌼🍀☀️✨🌼🍀🌼🍀🐣🌼🍀☀️✨🙏🏻
Thank you so much❤😢
Yeah same, i feel like all my friends want to ditch me because I'm really boring, but I'm only like that because of social anxiety, which makes it hard to think of interesting things to say.
thank you
@@billybobjoe2755 dang I'm really sorry man
Hey man I was overwhelmed when I commented that I'm really sorry
I’ve been suffering from anxiety for about 3 years now and I’m 14 now and seeing all these comments of people explaining their situations and feelings made me break down into tears I thank God for every single one of us and I pray to him that we are able to overcome this emotion and I thank this lady for making this video I’m so glad I came upon this .
I'm so glad you found support in this video and community!
It is really great, especially when you need help, that so many people including this lovely lady are around to help you. I sincerely hope and know that things will get better for you. Humans are curious beings, but we are here to help each other and to teach each other, not to one up each other or compete. Bless us all. I really appreciate KZhead for being a forum for positive things we can experience and maybe even support each other.
yes! when i having an anxiety attack i get anxious about feeling anxious abt something else bc it overwhelmed me, i hope and pray that on day we can get over this obstacle together, as a team, i’m pretty sure half of the population has anxiety and we can overcome it together 🩷🩷
@@kathleenburns7732yeah, there needs to be an anxiety warning on some yt vids though bc i get anxious over the smallest things and it’s hard when i’m just scrolling after i’ve overcome something that was making me anxious, then i see something else.
It’s kinda work but idk why I burst into tears when she ask “How are you feeling?”
It's not unusual to have an emotional response when doing exercises like these.
yeah i was having the same problem
Same same
I think it's because people close to us are not asking this... And it felt like somebody cares
All the energy channels, meridians, on your fingers connect to your heart, so relaxing them can trigger tears. It’s a good sign, a let go.
I’m literally crying because it worked and I’ve been experiencing anxiety for 5 days straight and normally I can get it under control but it’s been disrupting my life. Thank you.
I'm so glad it helped, Delaura! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing makes me feel I am not alone
Same at first it was Murdering me literly ripping me apart now I'm getting there
How r u now?
@@fallobby1560 i dont know much about it but i recommended you yo distract yourself and not think about it
I think I understand why this works, as someone with zero medical/psych training. It's a similar idea to the 333 method, where you ground yourself in reality. But in this one, you're so preoccupied with the sensation and focusing on breathing, your brain stops racing. This works for me a lot better than the 333, because it's hands-on and physical, and it's multitasking so I can't allocate as much brain-RAM to panicking. I know this was four years ago, but thank you. You're still helping folks.
Glad it's helpful! Thanks for sharing 😊
I have only started experiencing these random attacks since Christmas and I can’t explain why, I thought it was health issues but nothing came back, reading these comments it’s nice to know I’m not alone in the battle, this technique is so useful ❤️ and I hope everyone commenting can pull themselves through this
I'm glad it was helpful! It's great that you found some support here 😊
Any relief?
Me too... Got prescribed anxiety medication today. I'm still going through with heart monitoring for two weeks though. Prayers for you and everyone else on here! 🙏🏾✝️
@chicago4tw438 I started Sertraline and Hypnotherapy about 12 weeks ago and I haven't had a panic attack since, I still sleep with soothing sounds in my earphones and avoid caffeine but I feel like I have my life back!
@dmac3576 I did every heart scan you can think of! ECGs in the emergency room, ultra sounds of my heart etc before I finally realised its in my head !
This really helps especially with this unexplainable fear or doom in my chest area that I randomly get. It’s like an extremely nervous/anxious feeling if I were to give it my best to explain it and if you’re feeling this too then I can say that videos like this and many more do give a long lasting relief. It’s a long process but we’ll get thru it
I'm so glad it helps! Thank you for sharing :)
I feel that alot
same I feel like I’m having a heart stroke It feels like something is punching your chest
@@Mlmylji anxiety
youre not alone! we"ll get thru it
I don't even know why, but I burst into tears every time I start doing exercises like this, it definitely did make a change tho
That's actually very common. When we carry anxiety with us for extended periods of time, letting it go can be a very emotional experience.
wait i did too
Currently
I was very stressed because I thought of a person who hurt me a lot and this helped I could feel the tears
It happens to me as well.
I have suffered with anxiety from I was 12 years of age I’m now 51, I have moved house 15 times and had many jobs, my first marriage couldn’t coupe, my attacks happen with life’s unexpected but I always come through and so will you, it will pass and you will overcome, Thank you for this technic God bless you all 🙏❤️
This video saved me in the middle of a horrible panic attack. I seriously thought I was going to die, and just the soft guiding voice alone was like a lighthouse ushering me to shore. Thank you for making this video.
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Thank you for sharing 🙂
My goodness... let me tell you, SUCH a simple YET really effective technique. Thank you for sharing. Your voice was soo soothing... 😴
meow
meow
meow?
thank you for this
I usually don't talk about my anxiety since talking about it makes me more anxious. After trying this exercise and reading every single comment afterwards made me feel stronger, more confident and not as lonely as I usually feel. I'm so grateful for all of the above!!!🙏 ❤
I'm so glad the video and our wonderful community has been helpful for you!
Can relate. Every time I think about my anxiety not going away, I start crying, freaking out, and more. I'm 13.
The worst anxiety, I’ve have is breathing hunger I feel like I’m hyper ventilating all day every day it’s ridiculous and like you said as soon as I think about it, it gets worse, which is every day so.
Thanks Rachel for the anxiety video I've been suffering for nearly 6 years when i lost my husband suddenly I've tried everything my heart thumps ar time when i feel anxious i thought i was all alone until i read everyone else's comments this short video has helped me lot I'm grateful i came across your video many thanks god bless your soul
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! Anxiety is an epidemic - you are most certainly not alone. I have a playlist to help with anxiety, if you'd like to check out more of my videos: kzhead.info/channel/PLQsHGPF3r4b7iS_pcGir5fOzU5l4XqHH9.html And of course, there will be more to come!
just tried this as i’ve been having loads of bad nausea and anxiety for the past hour (i worry about getting food poisoning and i felt a little sick when i ate and then my stomach felt weird) so listening to this, and just realising that it’s psychological and i’m actually perfectly fine is really helpful, thank you
I'm so happy to hear that this helped you! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I have the same problem, I’m glad this video can help
Looked for a calming video for exactly this problem. I have such a huge fear of being sick and after ordering pizza and finding it wasn't cooked properly, my mind went into overdrive. I started to feel so nauseas and panicked..... Luckily I've managed to relax after this video and turns out it was my mind making me feel ill 🙄 as daft as it sounds, it's comforting knowing I'm not the only one with this problem
Me too feeeling the same thing
I experience the same thing, I know what it’s like and I agree that this video was extremely helpful! We all got this! ☺️
Always a head turner when I stop and do this in the middle of a grocery store
Lol. You do what you gotta do!
Thank you. I started to cry. I felt so anxious when I didn't even know why. Searched youtube for feeling anxious and was about to listen a high frequence calming music, but decided to click this one instead as I saw it was short and went right on the matter. After two breaths doing this, I just started to cry. I will keep this in my mind next time I'm starting to feel anxious. Thank you again, you have calming voice.
I'm so glad it's helpful for you!
Thank you im 23 years old this only started happening last year because of a scary hospital incident just your voice alone helps me a lot thank you
I'm so glad it's helpful for you! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I have parents that do not believe in therapists and they don’t want to take me so this videos really REALLY help me with my severe anxiety. Thank you so much. ❤️ God bless your soul.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Sending you warm wishes!
Same with me
What age group are you in ? …. Always remember that no feeling is exclusive to anyone … keep the faith 🙏
I believe most school systems in U.S. can provide counselors for all of your development (mind & body). Go ahead & ask.
opinion: they don't believe in therapists because they don't want to pay the Insurance "co-payments"
Yea... so Iam suffering from heavy anxiety attacks and because of that I start hallucinating that my head is shaking and everytime I think about it my heart beat increases and I start to sweat... I will surely try this whenever iam anxious. I THANK GOD I FOUND THIS VIDEO AND EVEN THANK YOU WITH THE CORE OF MY HEART
You are so welcome! I'm really glad it helped. Thanks for sharing :)
I started having an anxiety attack when my parents told me my grade Wich was VERY LOW and they were yelling at me instead of comforting since I really tried hard to get a good grade so o started having an anxiety attack I locked my room and came across this video it really helped tysm ❤️
I'm so glad it was helpful for you ❤️
I was literally shaking while searching and doing this but did it for 2 mins I'm feeling better for sometime ❤
I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better!
I just really wanna say thank you. Felt like I was about to have a heart attack. This exercise really helped. Really tho, thank you. Im also glad Im not the only one feeling that chest pain feeling.
I'm so glad it helped!
So was I and it helped❤
I was feeling the same, this really helped me a lot💜
Thank you so much! I got a big anxiety attack because of school and COVID. This relaxed me.
Riinnaa, Since it is a mind issue reach a state of equanimity where nothing disturbs you. For a relaxed life without anxiety sit on a chair, back and spine as erect as possible, hands on your lap with palms upwards, close your eyes and do nothing. Be still without moving and observe your incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 10-20 minutes. Be as still as possible. Your breath is directly related to the mind causing anxiety. Plenty of thoughts will come but slowly negative thoughts will reduce. The mind is reprogrammed to reach equanimity. Do twice daily as per your convenience. Practice not over-reacting to any daily real life situations. Enjoy the above meditation without expectations and your life will transform. Make it a daily habit. Best wishes.

1 peter 5:7 cast all your anxiety on him , because he care for you.
Toda! Tadda! That's it! my friend! One of my favourite scriptures! As far as breathing goes, it's a fact that I don't ever eat a bite of food without those nine deep breaths!
@Buttercup Thanks for asking! for they are what allows the body to go from one state to another (sympathetic system to the para-sympathetic, which makes all of our inner factories, such as the stomach, the liver,the intestines, etc., to be open for business! Otherwise, it's asking for serious trouble of all sorts! but hey! don't expect too many white coats to tell you so! There you are little buttercup! Enjoy the difference deep breathing makes! anytime! even if you're not about to eat! and feel somewhat... out of sort! Try that! and yes, you will positively see a huge difference! Shalom
Yes!

So happy to hear that, Gina! I hope you continue to feel better :)
Start practicing pranayam early in the morning for min 20 minutes And start taking ashwagandha with lukewarm milk or honey before sleep you will feel better.
Feeling good n thank you🙏
I'm usually prejudiced against this type of meditation, but when I couldn't find a solution to the incredible stress and anxiety I've been experiencing for the last few days, I decided to try these. It really works! I breathed in and out with you in the video and it provided instant relief. Thank you so much
A good surprise! So glad it helped 😊
I looked in the comments and it feels so so good to realize how many ppl also have anxiety.
You are not alone!
I was in the middle of an anxiety attack and i did this 3 times and it helped me so much. Thank you.
Literally sitting here crying. Had bad anxiety attacks the past couple of nights and this really helped me. You are making a difference for so many people. Thank you
I'm so glad it helped you!
im so glad i found this. i just got home from the hospital from a suspected heart attack. ive had severe stress for more than 2 months and have also lost 20 pounds. i look and feel horrible. this really helped
I'm glad this was helpful for you! You might benefit from this one as well: kzhead.info/sun/mMezgcymb6aAkp8/bejne.html
I hope you’re ok
Thank you. I started panicking thinking about how tight the money is and with the holidays and my birthday coming up it kind of just hit me how broke I’m going to be. My pay comes tomorrow which means that I’ll end blowing all of it on important stuff and once again have to money to buy some things I want. This is the first time a technique has worked. I’ve had anxiety since I was 8 and turning twenty now, I’ve never been able to find one that works. Thank you for introducing to me this way of calming my anxiety ❤
I'm so glad it helps! Another tip: practice gratitude. I keep a journal and every night write down at least 3 things from the day that I'm grateful for. It helps you focus more on what what you have, as opposed to what you don't, and it's extremely helpful for lowering anxiety.
my anxiety normally comes out of nowhere, and this was one of the methods that’s worked for me, thank you
That's great to hear, Emma!
Love it... For the first time I am feeling anxiety in my life. It's freaking making me crazy... Alhamdulillah the exercise worked.
Hey guys for anxiety for me i feel like i need to calm down immediately. If i dont i freak out. So a reminder, Take your time on this exercise. If you need to it many times, and allow this to be where you are for now. This is where i am. And this is ok. I am breathing. I am neutral. I am safe. I have patience. Its not about finishing, its not a race. Please take your time. Show your body you love your body.
Thanks for that lovely message!
That has literally helped me so much I felt myself falling into a panic but this just saved it quickly. Thank you ♥️

So glad it helps! The more you practice pausing and breathing, the easier it gets to regulate your emotions.
Random pains/aches are very triggering for me... my inner voice that usually reassures me it'll be okay isn't speaking up... instead it's replaced with negative thoughts and the opposite of it'll be okay. I really liked this technique.. it did help. Thank you for being the one who showed me something I will utilize during times of anxiety!!
Pains and aches where ? … i can relate to what your feeling
So glad it was helpful, Anne!
It's good to know I'm not the only one with this anxiety. Today I was bowling and felt my heart beating from the exercise and it triggered into a soft panic attack that I was able to jump on. I have a problem with thoughts constantly telling me I have end game issues with me like cancer heart disease ect...
I feel exactly the same and I hate it😭😭
Idk how nobody ever told me this, appreciate it!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Cool. That's wonderful. However, your last sentence pointing out how good your grammar is for your age, has me wondering if your not older than you claim. Most 10-12 year olds I've met/know, have the same grammar style as your own.

Doing this made me tear up because it genuinely helped. I have suffered from crippling anxiety for 20+ years and am trying to come off of using benzo's to cope. Needless to say this is an extremely difficult thing to do, and this exercise really pulled me out of a panic attack I was on the cusp of.
I'm so glad to hear that, Jess! Many people cry when releasing chronic anxiety - myself included. Sending healing wishes to you!
Jess how is your fight with crippling axiety and evrything? Any progress so far? I also have it and symptoms are almost unbearable - hyperhidrosis, flushing, tremors etc
Omg I was having one, too- i have panic disorder- I take BenZo’s and it sucks- 10 years too long for myself- I’m praying for you as you pray for me
I'm an ex addict and ex alcoholic I have extreme anxiety and depression that comes and goes. Lately, anxiety has been really bad I want to believe it's mainly from bad dieting. I may also be getting these panic attacks after working out it's so weird. Either I'm dying or it's extreme anxiety. Maybe both
Drugs of choice were benzos and alcohol couldn't go without mixing em. Yeah I smoke a shit ton of weed still that isn't helping with paranoia
I don't have anything to say except A Big Thank You! ❤
You're very welcome!
To see to know that i’m not alone going through this and we are all in this together , really helps ❤️
Definitely not alone!
Ever since COVID and things happened in 2020 I overthink everything and being anxious 24/7 and have an anxiety or panic attack
I totally get it. I actually just filmed a video to help with panic attacks, and will publish it soon. In the meantime, feel free to check out my other anxiety-reducing videos. If your anxiety is severe, please seek professional help.
it's late at night and i started feeling a mixture of restlessness / after a long day of just thinking about the future, this video genuinely helped me and i'm probably gonna practice it a lot aha ♡
I'm so glad it helped!
I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I tried it. Thank you🖤💙
So glad it was helpful!
This combined with her calming voice really helped.
So glad it was helpful!
I did it once with you...and made the out breathe longer that the in breathe....felt calmer and less anxious! Brilliant. I had heard of this before for kids...so I didn't think it could help me...an adult...but it did! Thank you!
Does anyone else find themselves focusing on their breath for hours at a time? Dry mouth? Feeling like your in a dream? Noticing your heart? Worrying you have different medical conditions? Playing with your hair?
yeaaa
Sometimes the hardest part about anxiety is, when you're in a panicking moment, all affirmations and tools you've written down are hard to remember or aren't absorbed when you re-read techniques. I am happy I found this video as this technique is short, memorable and seemingly effective. The more tools in our anxiety tool belt, the better. Some things may work better than others for each individual, but this one feels like do-able and helpful. Thank you! ♥
So glad it's helpful! The trick is to regularly practice anxiety-reduction exercises when you're calm, so that they are more accessible to you when experiencing anxiety. If you learn to recognize the initial signs or anxiety, you may be able to stop a panic attack before it starts. It takes practice!
This is extremely helpful! I'm just coping with my anxiety and getting on a good track in life. I needed this for work, worrying if my mind will wander to an anxious place, so I'm going to use this technique when I feel myself getting stressed. Thanks for sharing this, it really helped, and the true test comes tomorrow!
I'm so glad it helped! Feel free to try my other anxiety relief videos as well: kzhead.info/channel/PLQsHGPF3r4b7iS_pcGir5fOzU5l4XqHH9.html
i havent had an anxiety attack in a while but i did tonight and this video helped me get through it... thank you :)
Thank you so much ma’am, I’ve been struggling with my anxiety lately and I’m a bit younger so people think I’m “faking it for attention” although I actually struggle with it. ❤️🙏🏼
I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a child. I’m 30 years old and I still have my moments. You have nothing to be ashamed of and I don’t know you but I don’t believe you are “faking” anything. Those fears are very real to us when we have panic attacks. Stay strong and keep a good circle of friends, you will get through it and there are many of us out there that are supportive and understanding. I hope this helps.
Thank you. You're a blessing. I use all your digestion messages along with stress anxiety calming ones along with others.. Thank you for your work to help others
Thank you so much for your lovely message! I'm so happy that my videos have been helpful for you. Your words mean the world to me ❤️
Its really touching to know I am not alone through this. And a good reminder that this is a controllable emotion 😢 thank you so much for this, its really helping
I'm so glad it's helpful for you! You are most definitely not alone ❤️
I’ve been dealing with insomnia for a month and a half. I haven’t been able to sleep tonight and it’s 3:30 am. Was getting pretty overwhelmed and anxious and... this helped more than anything else I did
KZhead search: "ASMR for sleep". You might find some of the videos helpful.
I have another video that specifically helps with insomnia: kzhead.info/sun/f9moltiZn4qqaZ8/bejne.html
watching this rn as im literally shaking and my throat is tight and my stomach hurts. im really hoping this helps because ive been freaking out all night
I hope it helped Victoria. If you're interested, I have a more in depth video for panic attacks: kzhead.info/sun/mMezgcymb6aAkp8/bejne.html
This actually helped alot with your guidance. Thank you for sharing ❤❤
I'm so glad it was helpful!
this is breathtaking, thank you
So glad you like it!
i was diagnosed with covid 3 days ago and have been having the most severe anxiety and guilt of my life because i might’ve gotten my family sick. i haven’t slept since my diagnosis 😵 but this really really helped me for the time being. thank you so much ❤️
Wishing you a very speedy recovery!
I had heightened anxiety when I had COVID as well, did it linger a few weeks after? Even after my recovery , everyday felt like I was spiraling in the mornings, thankfully it subsided after a few weeks with therapy
Thanks for giving the idea.This idea is temporary cure for people who get anxiety attack all of a sudden.Calming your mind by various ways(meditation,exercise)being happy and positive thinking is a permanant cure of anxiety but still it may take years to treat you completely.I am suffering since an year improved a lot but still fighting the problem, may be the problem ends in some time.
Thank you! Yes, so many factors can affect anxiety levels. The key is to find what works for you and to stick with it.
Goodness this is seriously awesome, thanks Rachel! I've spent a number of weeks in MH facilities attending seminars and group sessions each day learning about reducing anxiety (I am an Anxious Avoidant Personality with Generalized Anxiety Syndrome) and this works better than anything I know! WOW!
So glad it helps! The seminars sound interesting 🙂
Her "how do you feel" made me tear up
Aw, I hope in a good way :)
Really needed this today. Thanks for another great video!
idk why but I almost started to tear up. Like I’ve been so stressed out with exams and not sleeping well enough but her voice is so comforting and makes me feel like im alright
I'm so glad it's helpful for you! Releasing anxiety can be very emotional. Many find themselves in tears. But it's a good cry 😊❤️
It has positive effects.Thank you 😊. Wishing you well .
That's great to hear!
Thank you so much for this! I have anxiety and always feel really sick from the stomach. My parents are really worried about my health. So this really makes a change! Again thank you so much! ❤️
