    This video is a guided meditation for anxiety. If you would like help in how to deal with anxiety or in getting anxiety relief, this guided meditation for anxiety might be what you're looking for.
    This guided anxiety meditation is different from other guided meditations that you might be used to. One major difference is that this guided anxiety meditation is done with open eyes. The main focus of this meditation is that it is all about helping you to discover that there is no problem right now, and that you don't know what future outcome would be better or worse for you. This guided anxiety meditation is meant to help you get anxiety relief right now. It is not meant to help once you've practiced it for years.

      try to apply same principle... ask yourself what is anxiety.. its just a thought you can't controll.. you don't know if it's bad or good to get anxiety.. maybe it will get you to watch more videos and become better at controlling it idk

    Am I the only person who won't stop crying watching this meditation? I find this extremely helpful for my anxiety as I get recurring thoughts of the future that makes me hyperventilate, almost everything Noah said hit home for me and I just wished I could've listened to this when I was in a bigger mess. I think I will keep listening to this until I'm really better, I never seemed help because I thought the only person that can save myself is well, myself. But now I have this channel and I just feel like God is taking care of me.

    • @NoahElkrief
      @NoahElkrief  8 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I'm glad you have found the video and channel to be helpful. The crying can come for a few reasons. It can be because it feels like a relief or rest, and it can be because it feels like someone is really seeing you and talking to you rather than to the thoughts and stories in your mind.

    I feel completely calm now.

    I really liked how he explained that our minds create imaginary problems.This is huge for me specifically at work.My mind is always telling me I am going to get fired,I am afraid of making any sort of mistake on my paperwork.Whenever I do make a mistake my mind automatically goes to "oh great here comes the pink slip" and I become really anxious.However this video really helps with differentiating what is real and what is not.

      I am dealing with this right now. I made a small mistake at work and sold something to someone who wasn't fully qualified. I ended up leaving work for the night as it was the end of my shift, and I was so scared that I called out of work the next day (which happens to be the friday before this comment is posted, which was also my 26th birthday lol). I was off this weekend as well and go back to work tomorrow. I have had the most extreme anxiety I have ever had in my life this weekend, my heart is racing and my chest hurts and it just sucks and my family just don't know how to relate because they haven't had anxiety this badly before and don't understand. I know everything will probably be okay tomorrow, I just got thos job and I'm sure that I'm expected to make mistakes, but this is killing me

    Wow I was almost having a full blown panic attack and I did not want to have to take an Ativan or benzo because I don't want to rely on a pill to feel relief. I meditate regularly and that helps me I was anxiety free for about a year but recently it came back stronger than ever. It's almost as if I am in a constant state of panic or worry. I fear having panic attacks which makes me have them. Sounds dumb but I can't help it. This video made me calm down from panic to calm. I thank you for this video it helped me a lot in this moment of "imagination crisis"

  • @aneara666
    @aneara666 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This... helped me a lot. I don't usually meditate, or watch/listen to things like this. However, tonight has been particularly hard on me anxiety wise. Heart beat racing, feeling numb and hypersensitive at the same time, badly wandering thoughts that keep going to dark places (which only makes it worse..), and the overwhelming fear and desperation for it to be over. So, I hear that these help from a friend that also struggles with anxiety. I put on my headphones and sat stiffly on the couch, eyes wide open because I was too afraid to close them. By the time you were done, I not only found myself leaning agaisnt the couch completely relaxed, but quite a few of the things I had mentioned decreased significantly. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. You will never truly know now much pain and suffering this helped me stop tonight. So, thank you. Thank you a million times.

    As someone who has managed to significantly reduce my anxiety, I can attest to the power of mindfulness. It has really helped me take notice of my thoughts, and learn to let them go without attaching any emotions to them. At a very basic level, anxiety is caused by obsessing over the past and worrying about the future; mindfulness helps because it keep us locked in the present.
    Based on personal experience, I also recommend practicing gratitude and cold showers to maximize your ability to control anxiety. Thanks for posting!

    I struggle with morning anxiety, as soon as my eyes open my body starts to freak out at the transition between sleep and wake. I used to have to take benzos to stop it from developing into a panic attack, like this morning. But I don’t have pills, I had your video. And my heart is slowed, my body has stopped shaking, my abs have relaxed, I no longer feel nauseous. Thank you. Wow. Thank you

    Great meditation vid!
    For all of you anxiety/panic attack sufferers, I massively reccomend grabbing two books.
    1: A Life At Last by Paul David (You can grab it on Amazon)
    2: DARE by Barry McDonagh (Type it in to google, he has his own site that he sells it off)
    They have completely changed my life and they will 100% change yours. My PA's have stopped and my anxiety is gradually decreasing!
    'Anxiety wont go away, until you stop trying to make it go away' ;)
    All the best everyone!

    Please don't ever delete these videos. I first watched this video in 2016 when I was going through really really bad anxiety. It helped me out tremendously and now in 2024 I'm having some anxiety again, not as bad as back then but still, this video helps me out soo soo much in these times! Just because it happened and it went away doesn't mean it can't happen years and years later. That's why I said, please don't delete this because we might need this in the future.

    Hi Noah, I'm happy to say that today was my first anxiety-free day in a long time, after viewing your video the other day and realizing how easy it really is to be at peace and comfortable with oneself. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for a while and it's tiring and overwhelming, to say the least. Thank you for this, greatly appreciated!

  • @zakerace

    Noah, I've probably already commented on this video a while back, but I have to say it again: Thank you! This video clears my horrible anxiety up in minutes, and gets me back to feeling like a human being again. I've suffered serious abandonment from family and friends, and feel as though horrible things will happen in the future. But then I watch this video, your other ones and those fears vanish into thin air. You are truly a blessing.

    @JTHitt1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    First I'd like to thank you. I have been watching your videos and reading A Guide to the present moment. I was desperate the only relief I could get from social anxiety, anxiety, and depression was guided meditations before finding your videos. A day or 2 later though, watching your videos and reading your book, I feel better. The tension is way less. You are doing the world a tremendous service. I'm getting it slowly, but I'm getting it. One other thing that helped was using paradoxical intention advocated by Victor Frankl. It is similar to one comment you made in one video of trying to not think about an orange, Paradoxical intention is trying to make the anxiety worse intentionally. I think it is simply a different way of generating acceptance rather than resistence which takes the energy out of the thoughts. Thought you might be interested in the technique. Thanks again.

    I know you said on the video about it not really having value. Yet certain things you said actually left tears in my eyes. To feel even "ok" is amazing. To feel for a moment that nothing is broken or wrong with me. It was truly an incredible feeling for that fragment in time. I have just recently withdrawn from the medication I was given after a panic attack landed me in the hospital.I was given Paxil as well as Xanax.I tried to use the medication but I no longer felt alive.I have had depression and anxiety for so long.Recently I have been trying meditation,and I must say I couldn't stop watching you(even if I wasn't supposed to be the whole time).Your logic,your voice,and your words really helped.Thank you so much for being there at a very hard time for me!

    I'm really glad I found these videos. I'm 29 and just had my first anxiety attack this week. Since then it's happened several times. I went to the hospital to make sure all was okay and they said it's most likely stress related anxiety. I'm really not enjoying this feeling and doing everything I can to shake it. There are good days and bad days, but I'd love to go back to how I felt before this happened. Thanks for doing what you can to help, it works, even if it's just temporary for now.

    Thank you for this video, recently I've been having anxiety and it is new to me. It normally doesn't affect me as much as it has been. Its been giving me physical problems. This video has really helped me relax, and I will play it again when I am feeling anxiety. It is really great to have someone here to help me calm down. I believe that things like medication and stuff doesn't work for anxiety. I think it all has to do with the mind. This, to me, proves it in a way. :)

    I feel so grounded after watching this. Watching the video, I cried a bit, only because I realized I never really gave myself time to be..with myself. I now see how liberating that can be. Thank you.

    This video has literally gotten me through so many panic attacks. It's like he knows exactly when it starts coming back throughout the video even and reminds me to stop. Thank you so much for this video you are a wonderful speaker.

    I wanted to take a moment to thank you for making this video. I've been battling anxiety and depression in silence for about 20 years now. I've seen quite a few psychologists in those years. But none of em could give me such usefull advice as you did. Every time i have a panic attack i need this video to calm myself down. Thanks a million

    I am so glad I found you. I was watching a different video of yours and you helped me so much. You are very powerful. Your voice the way you are in these videos. Thank you. I am a very stressed person and I have been trying to help myself because I have a slew of health problems and hate being on meds. I am tired of doctors and found out that stress is killing me and I can't control what is going on with me but I do need to deal with it. Thank you so much for all your soft words and kind heart.

    @Nazey09 9 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I had anxiety since I was a child but I never recognised it. At 26, I understand it and a lot of unfortunate circumstances have made my anxiety full blown. I'm always worrying about things I can't begin to explain, it's so petty. Yet my heart is in a constant knot and I get that sinking feeling. I used to get pushed over a lot and I know stand up for myself but sometimes i feel maybe I'm blowing everything out of proportion maybe I have started feeling everyone is out to get me, or against me. I get driving anxiety and out of body experiences. I have not been on meds and I won't get on one. But it's paralysing. I think of confrontations with certain people and it scares me. I'm giving this a shot I'm trying my best. Just wanted to share.

I had such a great day today. i realised my fear of anxiety created anxiety, my fear of people seeing me being anxious, and today I was just ok with. I didnt have to change anything in myself, didnt have to do anything, i just let myself be. Today was such a great day in such a long time and I dont care if tomorrow is not gonna be that good. You are saving my life. Thank you for what you do for people.

    HI Noah, and thanks! My anxiety almost took over a beautiful day yesterday. I kept thinking "where is my nose, where is my problem". I was able to refocus and enjoy the day, and my "problem" ended up not being a problem at all. I adore this video, and rave about it to my friends...so simple, yet so spot on!!

I was caught in a battle that was never stopping.. but now, just listening to your video's, something finally happened! Thank you SO much! If I had the money, I would certainly wanted a Skype session. I hope it pays well, cause no amount of money can say thank you enough for me. THANKS!

    And this video just snapped me back into reality and made me realize that I am okay and normal and I just need to ground myself sometimes.

    I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and this really helped me. The whole idea that it could simply be your thoughts that are causing your problem was something I'd never really considered. Often our REAL problems are much smaller than our IMAGINED problems, and this helped me realize that.

    Thank you Noah for easing the suffering of so many of us. I work with special needs kids in high school. Could you make a video or 3 for them to follow? Maybe 10 minutes long that could just bring them back to the present moment and relieve anxiety. It's so needed. I wish I had learned what you teach at a young age.

    Does anyone have any tips for relaxing through pain? Noah keeps referring to a nonexistant problem, but with pain it's hard to feel like nothing is wrong with me right now.

    • @abigailcb685
      @abigailcb685 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Acceptance of the pain. Easier said than done, but it helps me to try to do this sometimes. Then you start to see the pain as less of a "problem" and can even be grateful for what the pain is showing you.
      At least know you're not alone. All the best X

  • @peytonrivers7526
    @peytonrivers7526 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you for showing us your God-given gift to help many of us. Wow! Some simple but powerful points you bring out that many of us don't usually think about. It does remind me to just relax and be myself, not worry about so much especially about others and what others think. Someone once made an interesting point that stuck with me about the fact that each of us is a speck on the universe. Look at all the millions of people worrying about what millions are thinking about them. I know some people are just naturally of a more sensitive nature and need to work at anxiety a bit more.

    Hey Noah, I was feeling really anxious at work this morning when I came across your meditation guide. After a minute with your video I was feeling more relaxed and a bit silly for being so anxious in the first place. I will be revisiting this video whenever the feeling starts to emerge and will keep your words in mind for when I am unable to watch. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your empathy and willingness to help people who struggle with anxiety.

      @kustomkure 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rosa Alba That's what we all have in common. A fear we are broken, not like everybody. It seems so easy for others to socialize but not for us. The thing is it's hard for them too. Nobody knows what the hell they are doing and everybody is scared shitless.
      I am exactly like you, we all are. And none of us is the odd one out. In fact I think that the fact that we have anxiety and panic and whatnot means that we are alive, we are good hearted people and we are just trying our best. And none of us is crazy or unstable or anything. It's just depression and letting our thoughts control us like little dictators. Staying inside our heads for too long. We just need to get back to present moment, to the NOW. Feel warmth of a person hugging you, feel the smell of autumn leaves, touch of the wind on your cheek. That's happiness. And it's all you need to get there.
      I wish you the best. I too have a long way to go.
