I had a spiritual experience through meditation in 2020 that showed my anxiety as a little boy(myself), outside my door in the cold wanting to be let in. He was just scared and wanted to be comforted. It was at that moment that I knew that I needed to love my anxiety, not be afraid of it. This video is an excellent reminder of that. Thank you!
Yeah exxept when its a scary thought like letting go and thinking youre gonna die at any moment. When u let go and relax. Like i hate that thought its so triggering and disturbing..and hard to work with it
The only way I was able to overcome anxiety was when I felt it coming on.. I just said, "Bring it on - give me your worst" and was surprised that it almost immediately subsided.
Emma!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between this and your processing your emotions video, I have finally made peace with my anxiety and have stopped shutting down. I lost a relationship and a close relative at the beginning of this year. Usually, when things go wrong in my life, I shut down entirely - can't work, can't get out of bed, can't feel better. Turns out, I've been fighting, hiding from, and pushing down my emotions my entire life. I've been through therapy several times, and nothing has helped like your series. I'm working hard, seeing friends, speaking to family and feeling alive. And you didn't charge me a penny. You are truly a godsend and an inspiration. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please get memberships on your youtube channel!
Thank you. If the internet was was created for anything, this is it. This type of content. Everything else is just rubbish sticking to the good stuff. This is the gem amongst the coal.
Dear Rose..turn to the Lord Jesus for your help & strength..your hope in time of trouble. He is our Ark for today..our Salvation. We have to trust in Him & what He did for us at the cross. 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.' John 3:16
Ps-I forgot 5i say how sorry I am that you list your husband..but..maybe God want you to trust in Him with everything now. Look up two people..Joni Eareckson Tada-she is beautiful to listen to & will encourage you heaps..AND..the other is Les Feldick- he's a sound & a great teacher of the Bible. May God send helps to your door in your time of need.
Oh my gosh I am so so sorry lovely. He is with you always. I’m praying you can keep going and living a happy life until you meet your husband again. Do you have people/family coming to see you? Are there other people supporting you? I hope there are, if you have kids I hope they visit you all the time, it would be good if somebody could move in with you to help you! ♥️
2:11: PEACE: Be present, explore, accept, be curious, and expand. (Accept the anxious sensation and relax into it.) 3:19: Put your hand on the part of your body where you feel the anxious sensation. “I can handle this feeling.” “I’m OK.” 5:12: Imagine these sensations of tension are friends who are coming to give you a difficult message. Listen with compassion. 5:33: Thank your body for wanting to keep you safe. Say “I appreciate you.” Imagine the tensed area is a small child who is out of breath and needs to be comforted. Give it a mental hug. You are warm, gentle and kind. 7:12: You can handle your feelings. They are just messengers. Your body is your friend, and you can listen to it.
it's kind of ironic how when you shift the objective from trying to get rid of the feeling or make it go away, and instead focus on simply accepting it and letting it be, and beyond that- exploring it and having love and compassion towards it, it actually makes you a little less anxious. because emotions are there for a reason- they're not meant to be shooed away, but are there for you to listen to them. unfortunately, we are taught the latter. so when we don't listen to our emotions, they only get stronger to make us hear them, listen to them. this kind of mindset shift helps a TON. thank you so much!!
In a pandemic, seeking for understanding of my chronic pain from RA, diagnosed in 2004. My good Lord led me to Emma. You showed me how to love myself through the pain, just as you explained. I’m sure childhood trauma and more led to RA at 44. Now 63, off meds since early 2021, grateful in my healing. Thank you Emma
My anxious sensations have always been like a tingling or pins and needles and it freaks me out cuz I can go so long without feeling intense anxiety but once it's triggered they come on full force. Learning to sit with them and not question or try to figure them out has helped so much
I didn’t think this would work but it actually did. It didn’t completely get rid of the anxiety but it lowered it a lot to where the symptoms were a bit less noticeable
wow. realizing that my body is not my enemy, but that my body is my friend, was so calming to hear. I really felt safe, knowing that even in moments of hardship, I can be okay. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS, THIS HELPS SOOO MUCH!!!!!!
I am certain you are helping A LOT of people with this video: we don't get taught this stuff, even though we probably should at a young age or in school. I found your video really helpful even though I already knew what you had to impart: a lifetime is long and we tend to lose sight of important wisdom and techniques. The technique can be expanded by inviting the body region to communicate in images if it wants to, and then just staying receptive to anything that comes in. Your emphasis on not judging is important with this as the imagery often does not make any immediate sense: like dreams, the body communicates through a symbolic language rather than a literal one. So whatever the images that arrive, it is important to not judge or discard them just because they may not immediately yield actionable information. Just sit with the feeling and the image, and value the attempt at communication. Doing so will invite more, and with time, you can learn your inner language.
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Dealing with anxiety has been tough, but your gentle guidance gives me hope. The idea of treating my body's discomfort like a cherished friend is truly eye-opening. I'm eager to practice the PEACE method and cultivate inner calmness
Just put whatever symptoms, sensations and feelings under the umbrella of anxiety and know that it is just nervous system sensitisation. It feels uncomfortable but not dangerous.
I quit caffeine after forming a pretty crazy dependency. Went from like 5 cups a day to cold turkey quitting for a few weeks. My brain had no idea what was going on. Frequent anxiety attacks and episodes of anxiety. I started to develop more awareness towards feelings of anxiety. I don't try to push it away and try to cope with the sensations that can sometimes feel alarming. I reintroduced coffee back into my diet but instead of 5 cups a day I drink a cup in the morning and some caffinated black tea in the evening. My anxiety has improved. Preciate your videos, they have helped a ton.
Neat! I've been doing this subconsciously for a while with heart palpitations. I get that sensation a lot when in a panic attack, even though EKG will show steady, low heart rate, I'll feel like a bird is fluttering in my chest. Pressing a hand to it and really just feeling what my body is telling me tends to help a lot.
I usually have a resting heart rate of over 100 BPM. I have PTSD, anxiety and depression but I also have a heart condition and have taken propranolol to help slow it down but it's not helping as well as my Dr and I hoped. You may want to see a cardiologist just to make sure it's not possibly from a heart condition. I've had many tests in and out of the hospital over years and different hospitals and finally found out the hole we all are born with in our hearts didn't close completely and it can mimic anxiety. Just a thought for you. I'd hate for you to have something going on that's not anxiety related. Good luck!
@@Katfancy40 Thank you for sharing and looking out! That's so sweet and made my entire day. ❤️ I'll look into it and get it checked out. All the best wishes for you 🫂
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a good while, but I haven’t really clicked in to videos. I suppose I wasn’t ready. I was in a really bad way. But I’m ready now. And this video is wonderful! Looking forward to exploring the channel more and gaining some knowledge and tools from your lessons 🖤
Today I had an anxiety attack which always,always goes to my heart; shortness of breath and heavy chest. Today was also my last trip to urgent care to check my heart. I have committed to unraveling the snarls bit by bit. Thank you for this video.
Just wanted to say thank you, I've recently started my own channel about my anxiety and panic disorder. It would have never been possible without your videos at the beginning of my journey helping me when I was at my lowest. I'm now trying to help others by showing them they aren't alone. Keep up the good work your literally saving lives.❤
Thank you for this. I was scrolling my feed, looking for something to distract me from my usual night time anxiety, when I saw your video. I always appreciate how calming and soothing your voice is, and this video helped bring my anxiety down quickly. ❤
I’m the same way. I haven’t been able to sleep the past two days because EVERY NIGHT regardless of what it seems I do. I cannot go to bed on time or at all and it has been scaring me. But I’m going to go to a clinic tomorrow and see if they can give me a new anti anxiety medication or anti depressant. It makes me feel less alone knowing I’m not the only one whose anxiety gets the worst at night.
@@NoobSaibotTheWraith sorry to hear that you suffer from anxiety too. I hope your visit to the clinic provides some relief. I take lorazepam for anxiety (and Zoloft and Latuda for bipolar 2, along with ketamine infusions every few months for maintenance). Lorazepam usually takes the edge off, but it can be addictive so I’m careful with how frequently I take it. You’re definitely not alone!
Im glad you’re addressing this! Russell Kennedy does great vids on the “alarm” in the body. Somatic focus. It’s the only thing that works for me and I have to practice repeatedly or I fall into the trap of over thinking.
Thanks Emma, I've had a difficult few years (mum's mental health, bipolar and attempted suicide), my brothers business went under and put strain on the family and i was struggling with insomnia and have difficult nights now and then. I started a few therapy sessions and watched your videos and started doing things for my mental health like yoga and meditation and journalling. Man's search for meaning really helped me as well. I am just hoping my mum's health gets better but i am staying positive and taking each day as they come, although some days it's hard. thanks for your help.
This is exactly what I've been trying to come to terms with, the physical sensations that come along with nervous tension. What a wonderfully useful talk through of how to work with the sensations and not against them. Thank you!
Fantastic!!! I did 6 areas that currently are problematic, 2 of which are chronic. Amazing what came up. I have a neck injury, had 2 accidents. Tuned in, and my neck is wide open, like a mouth, screaming and it's livid!! So much anger held there, shocking to see! Anger for not being seen as a child nor now, and me also suppressing this, storing it out of sight. Unbelievable! Other area feels chaotic, sacrum totally disconnected (OMG!) and tailbone seems to store excess anger. More than it can hold. Shocking!! Now all feel more at peace. Thank you for sharing this 💖
Thank you. This is helpful. When I love and appreciate my body, and acknowledge that it's trying to tell me something, it eliminates the antagonism and fear I often feel when I have symptoms.
Interestingly I find a similar technique works for some types of pain. Paying close attention to the painful area, visualising the pain as colour, shape and variation and closely studying it causes it to fade away. I think the close attention, the opposite of seeking to avoid and escape it, switches off its strident demands to be noticed.
Thanks for this. I've been experiencing random anxiety attacks with full blown physical sensations and my mind is searching madly for a cause..... and there is none. Five years on and I've tried every non pharma remedy..... This hit me just right and worked quickly.... Thanks. Sincerely. ❤
I would say thank you for you and all your videos, how you teach me how to handle my anxious felling before it become worse, how to accept and notice the sensation feels in my body, it wasn’t easy when it come, but I did it, I close my eyes, holding my hands together, start mindfulness, breathing slowly and keep relax. I keep practicing each time I feel anxious and I notice my anxiety always come before my period, so I aware and be ready to feel that sensation. now I reach where I built my own skills how to handle anxiety. It only took me 5 mins until it pass. Bless your heart to make this video. ❤
Anxiety and panic is bad again so I’m following this course. Thank you Emma you really help when things are tough. Acceptance of the feelings is difficult but I’m learning and getting there slowly.
Thank you! And may you be more Blessed! I'm 51 male single. Single for so many reasons. You have helped me find myself. I s I spent so many years trying to make others happy. I forgot about me. I had no idea how hard this would be. You are making it much easier and faster. Thank you.
Listening to this episode today made me feel, like many of your other videos, like I was in a session with you. And while you were talking about the part of giving your body some love and compassion, I just broke down in tears. That felt really good. It was inspired, compassionate tears thanking my body for all the warnings and worry messages, and reminding it that we got this - like we always have in our 30+ years or existence. What an impact and what a shift in mindset and outlook this video has had on me today. Thank you, Emma. 🥰
You have gotten me through so much these last few years... thank you so so much. ❤ ive only been able to afford therapist off n on through out the years. Having your general professional input has helped me to continue working even with out a coach. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us. ❤
Hi Emma, I've just finished your course on How to Process Emotions and it was so amazing and helpful! Now, I'm waiting for a sale to purchase the full course for Break the Anxiety Cycle. Thank you so much, you're a life savior. 💙
I tried to do the "do your worst style" I ended up silent crying for 20 minutes and had trouble calming down with a constant tight feeling in my chest. I don't think this is the right method for me and I am in need of new coping methods. I don't trust the stability of the future given the ptsd and trama of losing my home and almost all of my immediate family except my brother due. It was all due to illnesses and health conditions they had. I live with my aunt and uncle and have for the past 6 years. Things just seem so scary , but I have been having great job success.
So sorry for all the losses you’ve had to endure. I am so glad that you have your aunt and uncle, their home to live in and job success. That’s wonderful. Brain retraining such as programs like Reorigins can be very helpful.
THIS IS FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much! Definitely going to use this (and all your videos for that matter) in my group work with anxious kids in school. Appreciate you!
I'm listening to my painful hives... Thank you, I've been doing this with my uncomfortable thoughts for some months now to positive effect and it never occurred to me that I could listen to my physical symptoms as well.
RESPECTFULLY agree to a point. Some sensations need RAPID response. A crushing pain in the middle of your chest needs an ambulance not compassion. The person dealing with the issue needs to be smart enough to know WHEN certain symptoms warrant not a warm welcome but the ER. I AM 81 and have battled TRMDD for 50 years despite 25 therapists and 145 meds AND TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION. Your videos r quite good
My issue is trembling which I can’t seem to control, which is upsetting me as my doctor can’t seem to recommend any medication, even breathing exercises can’t help, but I do try all the things you recommend to help with other issues, bless you for your advice, ❤
Had it extreme for 30yrs too Try doing some yoga nidra make sure it's done everyday as is cumulative,it's helped me. Ally Boothroyd is her name..she's on TH-cam.Wishing you all the best.
What about actual health pains or issues? Obviously when we pay attention they get worse but for a lot of people this is such a recurring thing that ruins quality of life
What works for me is going to bed and staying there for a few days, a very long hit shower or alcohol. I'm not advocating this for others but as I said it works for me.
Thank you so much !!! For the longest time, I have felt the deepest tension in my jaws and temples. It has been so chronic because I’m always trying to force it to go away and avoid things or places that trigger this discomfort. I thought something was wrong with my jaw, but all the docs and specialists see that it’s fine. This tells me that it could very well be anxiety. Anyone else experience this? What do you guys think?
Have antidepressants helped anyone who has tried every natural coping mechanism for muscle tension ? My muscles tense when I’m not even feeling anxious too. My body is so sensitive to any little thing.
New and rugged neighbors moved in recently - I know what I see, so much activity 24/7. Trying to mind my business BUT my grandchildren live with me and the are other kids around too and I am on a very heightened alert. My eyes are tired of looking out my window and my jaw stays clinched. Spoke w sheriffs office and other neighbors, got no trespassing signs posted and more motion activated lighting (i love the darkness at night - sacrifices)
It would be great if you could do a similar video for chronic pain. Pain that doesn't serve as a protective function, but rather pain as the result of a stroke, for example. 🙏

I had a spiritual experience through meditation in 2020 that showed my anxiety as a little boy(myself), outside my door in the cold wanting to be let in. He was just scared and wanted to be comforted. It was at that moment that I knew that I needed to love my anxiety, not be afraid of it. This video is an excellent reminder of that. Thank you!
I have a similar concept that I am yet to address, could you tell me more about yours? 🥰
Thank you for sharing this❤
I’m interested in hearing more about your spiritual experience while meditating.
Can you share also to me
Yeah exxept when its a scary thought like letting go and thinking youre gonna die at any moment. When u let go and relax. Like i hate that thought its so triggering and disturbing..and hard to work with it
The only way I was able to overcome anxiety was when I felt it coming on.. I just said, "Bring it on - give me your worst" and was surprised that it almost immediately subsided.
Yes!! By not fearing them, your brain stops turning on fear which in turn lessens the anxiety! ❤
Excellent 👏💪
Love this! ❤
That's right confront the fears that you'll conquer. That's what Emma is showing us.
Amazing....going to try this 😊

I agree. The bad comes with the good.
I am an elderly sick and disabled lady, but my dear husband was my carer for years. Now he has gone, I am. Heartbroken and so need prayer please.
Sending you prayers and my deepest compassion. Just know your voice is heard and that you're loved more than you could ever know.
You are loved and strong. Continue to make your business and proud as he looks over you.🙏

Crazy how being scared of anxiety creates more of it 😮 but this helped thank you!!😊

The idea of the body being a friend is still so hard
You've already started the journey. You've made progress & more is ahead of you! If you look back, do it to see how far you've come.
My body can be a complete idiot at times! No cooperation when I need it. But still I push on.
My anxious sensations have always been like a tingling or pins and needles and it freaks me out cuz I can go so long without feeling intense anxiety but once it's triggered they come on full force. Learning to sit with them and not question or try to figure them out has helped so much
Yes me too..very scary sensation for me..prayers your way may God heal you all..
Those sensation can sometimes be due to a drop of magnesium while having anxiety. Try taking magnesium glycinate and see if it helps with the tingling
Deep slow /controlled breaths help with those
I didn’t think this would work but it actually did. It didn’t completely get rid of the anxiety but it lowered it a lot to where the symptoms were a bit less noticeable
The point is not to get rid of the anxiety.

That tightness in my chest and throat are the worst part. The body sensations trick my mind.
Yes. It need lots of practice to surrender fully
Same😢

My throat tightens up SO bad I can barely talk😕

Thank you, i really needed this today.
Anxiety and panic is bad again so I’m following this course. Thank you Emma you really help when things are tough. Acceptance of the feelings is difficult but I’m learning and getting there slowly.
I’m so grateful I found your channel.
Thank you for all this 💗
Thank you! And may you be more Blessed! I'm 51 male single. Single for so many reasons. You have helped me find myself. I s I spent so many years trying to make others happy. I forgot about me. I had no idea how hard this would be. You are making it much easier and faster. Thank you.
Listening to this episode today made me feel, like many of your other videos, like I was in a session with you. And while you were talking about the part of giving your body some love and compassion, I just broke down in tears. That felt really good. It was inspired, compassionate tears thanking my body for all the warnings and worry messages, and reminding it that we got this - like we always have in our 30+ years or existence. What an impact and what a shift in mindset and outlook this video has had on me today. Thank you, Emma. 🥰
You have gotten me through so much these last few years... thank you so so much. ❤ ive only been able to afford therapist off n on through out the years. Having your general professional input has helped me to continue working even with out a coach. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us. ❤
As someone healing from trauma and a tongue tie release (fascia tension) this is very helpful.
Going thru this again. Trying to find the "you got this" feeling again. Thank you
I love this video so much. Total release for me. You are wonderful and such a warm calming presence. Grateful for you and this video!
Thank you! I feel like taking a huge step towards getting over anxiety for good with every video I watch
Hi Emma, I've just finished your course on How to Process Emotions and it was so amazing and helpful! Now, I'm waiting for a sale to purchase the full course for Break the Anxiety Cycle. Thank you so much, you're a life savior. 💙
Спасибо!
That feeling of being all jittery and like someone is shaking ur chest and tightness in my muscles and feeling sad and lost sucks so bad
Thanks!
Wow did I ever need this video this morning. Thank you . What a huge gift God has given you to help others .
Thank you for making these things clear, concise and straight forward. No fancy jargon or buzzwords, easily digestible. 🙏🏻
This felt so lovely. Your gentle voice was soothing to me and my inner child. ❤ Thank you 😊
Increíble Michael gracias 😊😊😊
This video is so positive, encouraging and helpful! Thank you!
I tried to do the "do your worst style" I ended up silent crying for 20 minutes and had trouble calming down with a constant tight feeling in my chest. I don't think this is the right method for me and I am in need of new coping methods. I don't trust the stability of the future given the ptsd and trama of losing my home and almost all of my immediate family except my brother due. It was all due to illnesses and health conditions they had. I live with my aunt and uncle and have for the past 6 years. Things just seem so scary , but I have been having great job success.
So sorry for all the losses you’ve had to endure. I am so glad that you have your aunt and uncle, their home to live in and job success. That’s wonderful. Brain retraining such as programs like Reorigins can be very helpful.
I love the idea of checking in with your “messengers” and appreciating them. ❤❤
THIS IS FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much! Definitely going to use this (and all your videos for that matter) in my group work with anxious kids in school. Appreciate you!
I really appreciate your videos, they have helped me feel better during times of anxiety attacks.
Thank you from Germany for all these wonderful and helpful videos 🙏🍀.
Hallo! Ich bin Franzose 🙂 🇪🇺
@@Nicolas_0456 Bonsoir Nicolas 👋
I used this video as a meditation and had a big aha moment. Thank you, Emma
Your videos have been a God send recently. Thank you so much for this service you provide.
I'm listening to my painful hives... Thank you, I've been doing this with my uncomfortable thoughts for some months now to positive effect and it never occurred to me that I could listen to my physical symptoms as well.
This method really helps me to calm down . thankyou so much . Love from 🇮🇳
This exercise was SO helpful!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and techniques. ❤
Thanks, this came at the right time
I have learned so much just from watching your videos. Thanks a million
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. They truly help. ❤️
RESPECTFULLY agree to a point. Some sensations need RAPID response. A crushing pain in the middle of your chest needs an ambulance not compassion. The person dealing with the issue needs to be smart enough to know WHEN certain symptoms warrant not a warm welcome but the ER. I AM 81 and have battled TRMDD for 50 years despite 25 therapists and 145 meds AND TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION. Your videos r quite good
My issue is trembling which I can’t seem to control, which is upsetting me as my doctor can’t seem to recommend any medication, even breathing exercises can’t help, but I do try all the things you recommend to help with other issues, bless you for your advice, ❤
Wow that's a very unique way of dealing with anxiety. I will definitely try it!❤😊
Thank you so much for this video. Your healing energy reached out and genuinely helped me just now....
Thank you for everything ❤
anxiety and panic is 24 7 now...tried everything....old and alone...is terrifying
Nothing interesting in the hood, walking , collecting or other hobbies possible?
Had it extreme for 30yrs too
Try doing some yoga nidra make sure it's done everyday as is cumulative,it's helped me.
Ally Boothroyd is her name..she's on TH-cam.Wishing you all the best.
This was exactly what I needed today. Thank you so much!
What about actual health pains or issues? Obviously when we pay attention they get worse but for a lot of people this is such a recurring thing that ruins quality of life
What works for me is going to bed and staying there for a few days, a very long hit shower or alcohol. I'm not advocating this for others but as I said it works for me.
Can you do a video about tinnitus caused by anxiety, how it happens and how to make it stop
I am so happy that I saw this video on You Tube. I feel very tensed at this moment, your help comes in time. 😃🙏🌺🦋
Thank you so much !!! For the longest time, I have felt the deepest tension in my jaws and temples. It has been so chronic because I’m always trying to force it to go away and avoid things or places that trigger this discomfort. I thought something was wrong with my jaw, but all the docs and specialists see that it’s fine. This tells me that it could very well be anxiety. Anyone else experience this? What do you guys think?
Have antidepressants helped anyone who has tried every natural coping mechanism for muscle tension ? My muscles tense when I’m not even feeling anxious too. My body is so sensitive to any little thing.
Yoga nidra has helped me.Practice every day if possible ❤
Thanks again Emma! You are an anti anxiety master.
New and rugged neighbors moved in recently - I know what I see, so much activity 24/7. Trying to mind my business BUT my grandchildren live with me and the are other kids around too and I am on a very heightened alert. My eyes are tired of looking out my window and my jaw stays clinched. Spoke w sheriffs office and other neighbors, got no trespassing signs posted and more motion activated lighting (i love the darkness at night - sacrifices)
Absolutely wonderful techniques!
So helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Emma,
Very helpful guidance .
😊 from the UK.
Thank you 🎉
I’ve heard of this method so many times in my life. This is the first time that I truly heard it. What a shift. Thank you 🫰
thanks you so much
It would be great if you could do a similar video for chronic pain. Pain that doesn't serve as a protective function, but rather pain as the result of a stroke, for example. 🙏
That would be great indeed. Chronic pain is so tough. Tanner Murtagh has tons of helpful videos on this subject.
Face anxiety for sure, enjoy your channel emma
Yay, I love this video and it just helped me lower my anxiety that had spiked.💚
ALLAH ALMIGHTY has blessed you with so much knowledge MASHAALLAH!
Yes, we got this! Thank you for the tip :)
you are a Godsend
Hi! Thank you very much!
... and now that I'm 56 hot flashes can come with anxiety😂
Amen to that! Menopause has come with anxiety attacks out of nowhere
My back, chest and heart hurt every single day from my anxiety and it sucks. I've done meditation and what not but it just doesn't stop.
❤ thank you! Love for you.
