About this listen

 In today's guided meditation, you'll begin The Anxiety Alchemy Week by learning how to release anxiety without fighting it—and transform that nervous energy into calm clarity. You'll discover why anxiety often shows up as a protective signal (not a personal flaw), then you'll practice a soothing breath technique to quiet the body's alarm response and create a felt sense of safety. I'll guide you through a gentle visualization to soften tension, steady your mind, and help you return to yourself—grounded, present, and capable. If you've been feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or caught in anxious thoughts, this meditation will help you shift from spiraling to steady—one breath at a time. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week," episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3: Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.) Day 4: Prithi Mudra for clarity Day 5: Third Chakra for compassion Day 6: Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!
