Summary

In this short, under-5-minute guided meditation, Alison Seponara (@theanxietyhealer) helps you calm a fast heartbeat, ease shortness of breath, and regulate anxiety that shows up strongly in the body. This practice focuses on physiological soothing—using breath, reassurance, and nervous system regulation rather than trying to “think your way out” of anxiety. It’s especially helpful during moments of panic, health anxiety, or sudden physical symptoms of anxiety. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
