Mindfulness for Releasing Anxiety (Short Version)

Floating

I love this meditation because when I listen to it I am reminded that my thoughts are transitory and I need not allow them the power to dwell within and influence me. By putting each thought on a single leaf and watching it gently flow downstream and out of sight, I become freer and calmer. It is a grand way to deal with thoughts that can cause unneeded stress or anxiety.

Hope

This meditation ends with suggestions of hope. Suggestions that things are going to be good, that I/we will be able to tap into universal aabundance and live life with ease. Those words are very reaffirming and soothing. This has helped me a lot.

This meditation becoming my routine

Since i know this channel i never try another channel anymore. It works so effective to me. I do this meditation once or twoce a day! Amazing!

Cats won this round of mindfulness

I’ll try again later when the kitten does need my full undivided attention

Stream

I haven’t been alone in a beautiful place in a long time. I need that.

Quite powerful

I really enjoyed this meditation. I felt very relaxed and loved the visual of sitting by a stream and letting go of my thoughts by placing them on leaves and letting them go down the stream. I will have to try this one again as I was interrupted by a phone call and lost my train of thought. This is definitely a technique I will use next time I’m caught up in my thoughts. Yesterday, I had a powerful moment of finding my heart racing and breathing becoming shallow as I approached a police breath test. For those following, you know I don’t drink but this encounter causes me great anxiety. As I waited in the line of cars I took control back over my breath and was able to bring myself back to the present moment. I was waved through so once again feel like I cheated the moment but I now know I’m better able to control my anxiety in this or any situation.

Take 2

I love all of Glenn’s mediations and hypnotherapy sessions as I find them so powerful. After being interrupted during this meditation a few days ago, I wanted to give it another go and I am so glad I did. I will definitely be revisiting this meditation regularly as the visualization and the reminder of just letting thoughts come and go is definitely assisting me on a daily basis. Even though I was interrupted last time I still put into practice the idea of letting my thoughts go along the leaves of the stream and it truly helped me when I was feeling anxious.

Sleeping...

This relaxed me so well... I awoke to find it over. I was enjoying it thoroughly, so I will have to try it again since I was pretty anxious when I started. ❤️😴🍀

Day 1

I am doing Glenn's hypnotherapy for 21 days, this was my first step. It helped alot with my current anxious state, though I still feel a little tension. I am positive that as I continue my practice on this channel I will see some amazing results

Amazing

This is one of my favourite meditations, so relaxing, so calming and positive. Will try some of his others now, thank you.

Letting Go!

Letting go of stress and anxiety is possible, specially listening this mediation! Imagining a scared stream to ease the mind and body is a great way to relax!

Being in the right place at the right time always

I dunno if my place is necessarily a stream, but I definitely understand the idea. When I am panicking; my stream looks a whole lot like lava. The lava is flowing with everything on fire around it... satan gesturing kindly saying “jump in, water’s fineeeee” Take aways: *right place right time *letting things go *positive mind = positive body

Thank you

Glenn, soft, gentle, kind and compassionate are feelings shared with this meditation!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Wow, truly relaxed

For the first time in a LONG while i feel truly refreshed and relaxed after a meditation. And this is just the short version! I will definitely try the long version later. Thank you.

A lovely meditation.

The only thing I can control is whether or not I hold onto anxiety. Letting it go is so much more peaceful. ♥

A good start

This will be very helpful and can ease my cluttered mind. Thanks! 😌

Morning meditation

I awoke feeling anxious, which concerned me. This meditation helped me to release all worries and understand that if I’m in alignment, life will unfold naturally. Release control.

I could release the feeling of pressures to be and do , and just let go

I can step away from responsibilities and just be happy to be present.

Releasing anxiety

I learned that it’s so okay to think the way you do but as long as you overcome & release that negativity or low vibrational thought that it’s okay were human 🙃.

I feel more relaxed

This helped clear the thoughts in my mind. The visualization was helpful

i felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders

I learned that hardships are only temporary and we all have the ability to let stress go. It won’t stick around forever

This is just what I needed

Things have been piling up on my shoulders. My thoughts have lead me to some dark places at times. A visualization and a strategy for letting go is a requirement.

Overwhelm to Centered

This morning as I continued to complete some tasks an overwhelming feeling of how much I need to do completely took over me. It seems like there is always something or someone needing my attention these days. It feels as if I will never catch up. If I am completely honest, I feel burnt out all the time. Listening to Glenn’s soothing voice while visualizing sitting on soft green grass, next to a stream, feeling a cool breeze, along with the warmth of the sunshine on my skin, focusing on my breath gives me the break I need. I feel the tension start to leave my body. The overwhelming feeling I was feeling before has been replaced with a calm centered feeling. This was exactly what I needed today. When those overwhelming feelings arise, I will focus my attention on my breath while reciting I feel calm and centered to bring me back to the present moment.

Calmer

Definitely felt more centred less tight like i can make it through the day with less anxiety about work.

I felt more at peace after my meditation. I was getting a bit overwhelmed and worried about

I learned that in my “special place” by the brook how to let things go. This amped up my vision from before to a shorter version I can do at anytime. This will really help me when I get into negative thoughts patterns

Lovely feelings from this!

A very calming and mind clearing meditation with beautiful background sounds of nature. Lovely and calming for when your mind is racing!

Stress

I feel my chest has loosened a bit. I feel I can breathe a bit easier.

Relief

In this meditation, my crippling anxiety and fear had a noticable change through the deep but calm stomach expanding breathes. Getting rid of my short breathes that builds the panic/fear/anxiety more. I was definitely more calm and so spaced out when ended my meditation. Thank you

I feel more relax... splendid and wonderful.

I can be happy no matter what. It’s very important to breath. Natural sounds are perfect company for practice mindfulness.

Balanced and grateful

Feeling energized and rested ready for a productive rest of week.

Free

I learned that there’s more to this world than worrying about sth that puts me down and make me feel low.. I’ll start taking care of myself and my health first I want to see the world I want to live♥️

I felt more relaxed at peace emotional I was no longer anxious or nervous

I am in control of my emotions and thoughts everything will fall into place if you believe

Harmony

To give time to the mind for a moment of ease creates Harmony. This is selflove

Noticed

I need to be around positive people It’s vitally important for my well-being I need more of that in my life for wellness

Day 1

I’ve learned 10 mins is a long time, and the sound of water makes me want to wee. Long way to go for me 😉

Friday

10 minutes can have a big impact on the rest of your day and feel at peace and a sense of calm that I can remember and return to throughout my day if I’m feeling anxious and stressed

Mediation to Reduce Anxiety

I learned that I have a very long way to go before I’ll ever even remotely have any kind of control over my anxiety. I find meditation is crap. It doesn’t work for me. Never has. I just sit and meditate on all that’s wrong in my life and end up feeling more distressed when they exercise is over. Best option for me is to ignore the feelings and force myself to stay busy. Thinking is ALWAYS a bad idea.

Am I really the only honest person on this app?

You can’t seriously expect me to believe everyone was miraculously better just because they listened to 9 minutes of talking and nature sounds. I guess everyone else is just a wimp about telling the truth because ALL the reviews are glowing. Significant mental health issues will not be helped by listening to a 9 minute tape. End of story. What a hoot.

Definitely what I needed, for a starter. Hopefully it will be good.

I learned that I need to let it go! ‘It shall pass’ The sound of nature has always been my key to relaxation.

Tanker

De utallige tanker er et problem. Jeg skal øve mere med disse tekniker

Self help support

So sorry some people cannot let go and ALLOW, themselves to think beyond their current feelings and explore new, calmer fields. Are they more masochistic than sharing and Loving for themselves and others

Floating along the stream

Our thoughts are like cars zooming on the freeway, clouds brushing through the sky, and leaves flowing down the stream… we can release our thoughts. We can befriend our mind and attract better thoughts, positive perspectives. Beautiful visualization practice!

Just the thing I needed

I’m having a mental health day because I’m just anxious and exhausted and distraught. This helped calm my mind down so much. I feel much more at peace. Thank you!

helpful

Thoughts on leaves was great. Did have to recenter a couple of times.

Glen

I enjoyed this meditation. A couple of niggles: streams don’t really ebb and flow, they flow and flow. Further the leaf in the image looks like a Lilly pad which would be anchored and not flow down the stream with my thoughts. Thank you, June

I changed

I woke up anxious but was able to calm myself down through AURA. Meditation and 11 affirmations.

Rain day

Feeling relaxed. Simple technique to allow thoughts to pass.

Stream

The stream was very relaxing imagery and the guidance seemed helpful

Beautiful affirmations

Sometimes it’s easy to get wrapped up in worry and self-doubt. Needed to hear this message at exactly this time. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Excellent

Really enjoyed this meditation. I actually felt more relaxed, less tense and felt this benefited me

New To This

I noticed that I was having a hard time staying focused on the meditation. I know, with dedication to the practice, this will get better.

It wasn’t as hard to let thoughts go

I can take 10 min for myself without judgement from myself or others. Right neck holds a lot of tension

No worries

I learned that it is easy to create a beautiful place inside that you can go to whenever you want and feel relaxed and happy, I will do this often from now on.

I felt….freed!

I learned that my brain has the power to simply put my worries and insecurities on a leaf and let it flow away down the stream. That’s powerful.

Thank you❤️

I feel so strong, I can do this! Each day is harder but I become stronger. Haven’t felt like this in a couple days so truly thank you!

Don’t need substances

I don’t need substances to regulate my mood when I have a resource like mindfulness

I Feel Centered and Balanced

I’ve listened to many tracks that I have connected with. This however was the ONLY one where I felt connected to who I truly am. I am shaking at how these words transported me back to 10 year old me. I was sitting next to her at camp in front of our favorite stream at camp. We listened to the water together. Today we put my present day troubles on a leaf and let them float away. My worries are minimal if I can connect to the present and watch them float away on that leaf. Today was a gift. Thank you for this piece. With all my heart…thank you. ❤️🙏🏼

First meditation

I learned to let my thoughts flow down a stream. Found myself thinking of many things and realized my mind is cluttered with many thoughts and many directions. This manifests into stress and anxiety with a feeling of overwhelm. The meditation went by quickly and I feel I have clearer thoughts and am more present.

Dag 1

Hartje klopte snel, maar genoot enorm van het beeld dat ik voor me zag. Zonnige dag, in het gras met vogeltjes rond me en een watervalletje. Gaf me enorm goed gevoel

Softened

. . . that the voice, pace and imagery of the speaker is very significant for me

Men’s voices

I believe I may respond better to men’s voices. Absolutely love the trickling of the water.

Thank You

I truly love this mediation. Every time I listen to it it really makes me feel better. It brings me peace.

Amazing release

I truly felt a warm summer’s day and cool breeze on my face. In the glow of the amber sun, I placed my worries one by one on leaves. Physically, I was relaxed, and my body decided it was time to cry. My eyes released tears as my mind and heart connected to the universe. Thank you.

Truly deeply relaxing

This brings you in a place of serenity, calm, and even joy and positivity according to your actual state. It’s very relaxing, and I love the water sound and all, except for this sentence to be more in control of our life, which I believe by experience you never fully know what will haven and have only such little margin of control, seeking for makes you really stressed and tired as months and years go by. This track saved in my favorites

Peaceful

I can release my negative thoughts today, just let them float down the stream

Calming Anxiety

Since the pandemic has stayed with us, I have had a major increase in anxiety. The idea of meditation was too much. This is a beautiful way to start the day. I loved the image of letting my thoughts float on leaves. I really did experience letting them go.

Universal Flow

This was a lovely meditation. I feel centered and balanced!

Very stressed

This helped me reduce my anxiety about a health issue and what it might hold and issues with my granddaughter. Will be coming back to this one often as it is a beautiful and relaxing one. Floating those worries away on the leaves helped immensely. Now to leave them there as I deal with those issues today.

Water

I became so calm I forgot what I was supposed to be doing which was meditating I love water images in the stream and I found myself being underneath a waterfall and floating down the stream with some pressure to keep me below the surface. I like the image of the water in the Lillypad leaf that was a nice meditation visually eight minutes of rest and calm that endure. Like I took a mental shower

Day 1

I learned that my control over my thoughts is the key to my emotional well-being.

Harmony

After this short 10 minute session, I feel so in tune with myself. I have a lot of things going on in my life right now. Dealing with financial hardship, lack of employment, and not to mention I’m in a country I’m not originally from… And on top of that, my fiancé broke up with me. So, my emotions have been pretty up and down lately. And I feel this has helped me realize despite all of that, I still have blessings to be thankful for. :)

I love water. I live near a big lake, and I ride down

there most days. I sit there with the swans, and meditate. There are no people around, and it’s been invaluable for my journey out of depression

Mindfulness

I love sitting by the water letting my mind relax and troubles drift away. Did this as a young child. Have to do this more often.

Peaceful

I feel in tune and calm with myself. Really helped clear the anxiety

Anxious

I was running behind this morning and was so late doing my routine. Then I listened to this and everything just seemed to fall into place. So much more relaxed and centered

Anxiety

I learned that it is possible to stop for 10 minutes and go to a safe place in my mind. Then I can release the feelings and calm myself.

Peace

I feel so free, free from my own torturous thoughts. I am finally at peace here on earth something I genuinely started to believe I would never feel. Anyone who is struggling it gets better 🤍 life is so beautiful even through the darkness!

Feel so connected to this one

This one had me in tears, self reflecting and seeing myself in a different way. I notice that whenever I have to envision myself in a beautiful place I always see myself surrounded by loneliness and grief. This allowed me to feel that and try to let those thoughts float away.

Wow. That was unreal.

I melted into this with all of me. I feel like I'm in a trance. I was swept away into the place you created in my mind. I finally was able to acknowledge my thoughts rather than ignore them. The leaves on the stream and the music took them. I'm so relaxed and happy. I'm still feeling it all. 😊🙏

10/10/22 - First meditation

I feel calm about the presence and what is going to come of my last 5 weeks in arkaroola after everything I have been through. I feel I am true letting go and moving on. My heart rate decreased and I feel everything will work out like it always does from now on

I honestly feel like this is exactly what I needed to hear today. I feel so calm after this meditation. This might be my favorite one.

Acknowledging my thoughts allows me to release them. The thoughts will always come but it’s my choice to allow them to leave.

M

I can quiet my mind. A sense a buzz of peace. Letting the thoughts go.

I feel calm and centered

Not sure. It’s worth a try. How do you get off this screen?

Purification of our thought and emotions

Glen is so grounded in his gift of helping to release those negative thoughts that we tend to clutch and cling to.. allowing the mind to gently place them on a floating leaf and send them on their way down a beautiful, purifying, stream. Water is the great purifier, and I feel great peace right now as I sit looking out at our first rain if the season in Southern California! Life is good, peaceful and calm 🙏

Finally through

Proper medication could be the answer. I need to slow down and not worry about figuring this all out right away. There's plenty of time. Just support Bret and his efforts from afar and focus on me and my relationship with Whit.

Relaxing and invigorating

The imagery of the flowing creak and leaves with my thoughts floating away was so powerful positive for me. Let me in a positive state of mind and spirit.

Anxiety Meditation

Lovely. I am centered and balanced. The steam was so real I dipped a hand in it to feel the flow. The sound of it was like music. I wish you the very best.

Vibrations

It's getting easier to observe rather than become my thoughts and feelings and allow them to flow!

Loved the stream

Sounds can help me visualise which is something that I struggle with. Nice to hear a male voice as most meditations I come across have been by women.

Made me sing

Happy days oh happy days with my son at moment having breakfast living the dream x

Calm is beautiful

I love the sound of the stream and placing your thoughts on the leaves. Voice is soothing. I’m feeling a little better everyday. Aura has been a game changer for me.

Centered

The meditation by Glen Harold centered me and put me in touch with oneness.

Feelings during meditation

I felt like I easily welcomed self love thoughts better than I normally would. For that I am very proud of myself🥰

First Aura Meditation

I loved the gentle stream metaphor which relaxes me. Thoughts on the leaves and let them go.. I’ll ensure to practise that. Being in the present more will bring good energy and good things with it. I want to practise this

Relaxing and invigorating 2

I’m feeling peaceful and positive. The image of my thoughts floating away was extremely helpful.

👍👍👍

this exercise seem to be great! i might use this repeatedly. nice to listen

Relaxed

I felt the anxiety wash off me. I was actually transported to the most serene and beautiful place

Mindfulness for releasing anxiety

I felt so calm and even when I thought about starting a new position I thought about a positive experience rather than negative.

Wonderful

I loved the sounds, really we helped to immerse myself in the moment and envision letting go of thoughts as they arose

Centered

I felt more calm in the midst of my busy day after doing this
