Calming Anxiety

Do you find traditional meditation impossible because your brain won't stop buzzing? Are you terrified of "zoning out" while driving?In this special "Active Alertness" episode of Calming Anxiety, we break the biggest rule of meditation: We keep our eyes open.

Designed specifically for the daily commuter, this session transforms your car or train ride from a source of stress into a tool for focus. Instead of trying to empty your mind, we give your brain a job to do—using tactile grounding and visual engagement to hack your nervous system into a state of calm alert.In this 10-minute session, you will learn:The "Safety First" Protocol: • How to meditate while keeping your eyes strictly on the road.

Tactile Grounding: • Using the steering wheel or floor as an anchor to stop anxiety spiraling.

The "Color Quest": • A neurodivergent-friendly visual game to sharpen focus and replace intrusive thoughts.

The "Red Light Reset": • How to reframe traffic jams and stops as biological reset buttons for your stress levels.
⚠️ SAFETY NOTE: If you are driving, your eyes must remain open and focused on the road at all times. Your safety is the primary meditation.

⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 • – Intro: Why standard meditation fails commuters
01:00 • – Safety Disclaimer (Eyes Open!)

Ready for More Calm?Thank you for listening to the Calming Anxiety Podcast, featuring guided meditation, mindfulness, and sleep hypnosis sessions with Martin Hewlett. Our mission is to provide you with proven tools for anxiety relief, stress reduction, and a path toward deep relaxation. Use this episode anytime you need to calm your mind and feel more at ease.

Meditation for People Who Can't Sit Still (Commute Edition)

It is December 21st—the Winter Solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. While nature invites us into deep stillness and rest during this time, our modern world pushes us to do the exact opposite.

If you are feeling the "holiday buzz" of anxiety beneath your skin, financial stress, or the sheer mental load of making magic happen for everyone else, this episode is your sanctuary.

Join us for a nervous system reset designed to soothe the overwhelm of the festive season. Today, we return to the show's roots with simplicity and proven somatic techniques to help you move from dysregulation to safety.

In this episode, we cover:The Winter Solstice Disconnect: • Why pushing your body hard when nature says "slow down" leads to nervous system dysregulation.

Somatic Grounding: • Using the physical sensation of gravity to stop holding yourself up and finally let go.

Safety Signals: • The "Hand on Heart, Hand on Belly" technique to send immediate safety signals to your brain.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation: • How to use gentle humming vibrations to soothe frazzled nerves.

Restorative Affirmations: • Permitting yourself to align with the stillness of the solstice and set boundaries protecting your energy.

Key Affirmations from this Session: • "It is safe for me to slow down right now." 

 • "My worth is not tied to how much I do or buy or plan this week." 

 • "I am choosing self-love over sacrifice." 

 • "I am worthy of the same care and magic that I try to create for others." 

Take a Moment for You: This is your coffee break for the soul. You don't need to escape reality; you just need to ground yourself within it. Whether you are seated or lying down, allow these few minutes to regulate your heart rate and bring peace to your mind.

Morning Intention Daily Guided Meditation for Anxiety, Focus, & Stress Relief

"Good enough" is not a failure. It is a freedom.Welcome to the final day of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we reach the peak of the season, it is easy to fall into the trap of "Compare and Despair." We scroll through social media seeing perfect trees, perfect dinners, and perfect families, and suddenly, our reality feels like it's lacking. We carry the weight of impossible expectations, trying to create a magic moment at the expense of our own mental health.In today’s finale, Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect, we are putting those burdens down. We are choosing connection over perfection.In this session, you will experience:4-7-8 Breathing: • A deep relaxation technique (often called the "natural tranquilizer" for the nervous system) to help you exhale tension and frustration.
The "Heavy Baggage" Visualization: • A liberating mental exercise where we identify the heavy bags we are carrying—labeled "Expectations," "Money," and "Perfection"—and physically visualize setting them down and walking away lighter.
Affirmations for Acceptance: • "I release the need for perfection." "I choose presence over pressure."
Thank you for taking this four-day journey with me. Remember: You are enough, exactly as you are.Series Complete. If you enjoyed The Holiday Sanctuary, please subscribe to the podcast to stay grounded as we move into the New Year.

The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 4) Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect

You do not have to absorb the stress of the people around you.

Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we move deeper into the week, social obligations—office parties, family calls, and crowded shops—often increase. For those of us who are sensitive, this contact can feel draining. We often leave these interactions feeling exhausted, not because we did too much, but because we felt too much.In today’s episode, Protecting Your Energy Field, we are building a boundary. We are learning the difference between empathy (understanding someone) and absorption (taking on their emotions).In this session, you will experience:The Cleansing Breath: • A visualization-based breathwork technique where you inhale clear, restorative light and exhale the grey smoke of other people’s tension.
The "Glass Wall" Visualization: • A powerful mental exercise to construct a transparent shield around you. This allows you to see and hear the world clearly, but ensures that negativity simply bounces off your field rather than sinking in.
Affirmations for Boundaries: • "I observe stress without absorbing it." "I am the guardian of my own energy."
Carry this shield with you into every room you enter today.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for the final session, Day 4, where we will focus on "The Celebration"—finding genuine joy in the season on your own terms.

The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 3) Protecting Your Energy Field

The world outside is speeding up. Today, we give you permission to slow down.Welcome to Day 2 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we hit the middle of December, we often enter the "manic week"—that frantic rush to get everything done before the holidays arrive. The pressure to hurry can trigger adrenaline spikes and leave us feeling overwhelmed and breathless.In today’s episode, The Art of Slowing Down, we are opting out of the urgent energy of the world. We are reclaiming our own pace.In this session, you will experience:Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): • A tactical breathwork technique used to instantly regulate the nervous system and halt the adrenaline response.
The Deep Snow Visualization: • A guided mental journey where you walk through deep, soft snow. Every step is slow, deliberate, and silent, muffling the noise of the chaotic world around you.
Affirmations for Pacing: • Powerful reminders that your peace is more important than your to-do list.
This is your antidote to the rush. You do not have to match the frantic energy around you.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for Day 3, where we will focus on "The Shield," learning how to protect your energy from difficult family dynamics and social drains.

The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 2) The Art of Slowing Down

Does the mid-December energy feel louder and more frantic, while you just crave silence?Welcome to The Holiday Sanctuary, a special four-part series designed to ground your energy, protect your peace, and help you navigate this season on your own terms.

Sunday evenings in December can feel heavy, and seeing images of "perfect" gatherings can make us feel incredibly lonely.
In Day 1: Embracing Solitude & Finding Connection, we shift the narrative. We are reframing loneliness into restorative solitude, reminding you that even in the quiet, you are never truly alone.

In this episode, you will experience:Heart Coherence Breathing: • A powerful breathwork technique (Inhale 5, Exhale 5) to bridge the gap between your mind and emotions.

The Golden Web Visualization: • A guided journey to connect your inner light with thousands of others listening right now, weaving a web of support across the world.

Affirmations for Belonging: • Anchoring the belief that your solitude is a sanctuary, not a sadness.

Whether you are on your own or surrounded by people but feeling misunderstood, this session offers a safe container to breathe and reconnect.

Next Up: Join me tomorrow for Day 2, where we will learn the art of slowing down when the world tries to speed up.
