Guided Meditation for Anxiety

Feeling anxious right now? Start with one slow breath. Then try a short guided meditation to help your body settle and your mind slow down.

Breathe With the Circle

Breathe in as the circle grows, and out as it shrinks. Three minutes is often enough to take the edge off.

Ready when you are


If you feel dizzy or light-headed, stop and breathe normally. Read more about breathing exercises for anxiety.

CALM IS A SKILL YOU CAN LEARN

Build Calm Every Day, Not Just in a Crisis

Breathing helps in the moment. What changes anxiety over time is a few minutes of practice every day, so your nervous system learns what calm feels like. It's far easier with others alongside you.

Join Prakash's Meditation for Beginners community for short daily practices, live sessions and people learning with you.

If You Need More Support

Meditation can help you feel calmer, but it isn't a treatment for anxiety disorders. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, please talk to your GP or a mental health professional. In Australia, Beyond Blue is on 1300 22 4636 and Lifeline on 13 11 14, any time. In an emergency, call 000. Outside Australia, contact your local health or crisis service.
