A few years ago, my friend had a panic attack. As she told me about it afterward, my heart hurt for her and I wished that there was something I could do to help. So I created a meditation that she could keep on hand. And then I created another and then another. And soon I launched an entire podcast called

panic attack meditation to help her and others during those incredibly intense moments of high anxiety and panic attacks. If you find yourself or someone you love needing support like this, make sure to follow panic attack meditation on your favorite podcast player so you can have them on hand when you need them. Right now, I want to share a listener favorite called Calm Mind. I hope you enjoy it. Slow down now and come into the night.

Notice your mind moving, swirling, and wanting to play. See if you can imagine yourself looking upon your mind, noticing your thoughts from afar, and then breathing a sigh as your body softens, as your mind slows down. Now,

and find your breath. Inhale deeply, following the air as it fills up your belly and hold it for a moment. And then exhale completely, letting all that air go and tightening your stomach at the end as the very last drops of air are released.

Relax into a nice, easy rhythm of breathing, slowing it down bit by bit with every single breath. Let it soothe your body and calm your mind. Now, look upon your mind from afar, this beautiful part of you who loves to stay active,

electric and bursting with thoughts. Notice the colors, the greens and yellow and pinks painting your mind as they move, as they sparkle and create. Notice the bubbles of black, the many clouds of spreading across your mind.

with worry and stress. Notice it all there encapsulated in your mind. This gorgeous, magical entity of color. Now breathe out over and over again and notice the movement of your mind slow down and calm

And notice the colors that were sparkling within, the colors that were painted inside are lightening, dissolving, and disappearing slowly, piece by piece, shade by shade, drifting away from your mind and into the nothingness of the night.

Look upon your mind from afar. Your body melted deep into your bed. Safe within your sheets. Listen for it. The gentle sounds of silence coming from your calm mind. Feel it. The absence of movement. The space to be.

the space to surrender, to sleep and feel the calm in your body, in your mind, in your soul. Sweet dreams, beautiful.
