Meditation for Anxiety
This guided meditation for anxiety was designed to activate the body’s “rest and digest” response. As a result, we experience relief from anxiety, our stress levels are reduced, and the body enters a state of deep relaxation and healing.
These practices have an immediate calming effect, and they also build over time! In fact, by practicing only 12 minutes a day, guided meditation has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety in a matter of weeks.
Studies at Boston University and Harvard Medical School showed staggering results using meditation for anxiety. With eight weeks of practice, the amygdala (the brain’s anxiety center) produced far fewer distress signals, with electrical activity in this “fear center” becoming nearly silent.
Meditation also boosts endorphins, which immediately elevates mood, reduces stress, and improves sleep! What’s more, it increases happiness hormones more than many medications. Psychiatrists at Boston University found a 27 percent increase in the GABA happiness hormone after one hour of meditation. This is an “anxiety-resistant” level.
