  • RIGHT NOW BREATHE Guided Meditation for Panic Attack Relief

    RIGHT NOW BREATHE Guided Meditation for Panic Attack Relief
    Apr 16 2026
    Right Now. Breathe. | Panic Attack Relief | Guided Meditation & Clinical Hypnotherapy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 ABOUT THIS EPISODE If you are having a panic attack right now — this episode is for you. The racing heart. The tight chest. The feeling that something is terribly wrong. You are not in danger. You are having a panic attack. And in the next ten minutes, we are going to move through it together. Former frontline paramedic and clinical hypnotherapist Martin Hewlett has held the hands of people in genuine medical emergencies. He knows the difference between a body in danger and a nervous system in overdrive. Using vagus nerve breathing, deep guided visualisation, and powerful affirmations designed specifically for panic attack relief, this session will help you interrupt the panic response, calm the physical symptoms of anxiety, and return your nervous system to safety. Panic attacks feel like the end of something. They are not. They are a wave — and every wave, without exception, passes. Perfect for: panic attack relief, how to stop a panic attack, panic attack breathing, health anxiety relief, anxiety and panic, physical symptoms of anxiety, guided meditation for panic, nervous system reset. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Right now. Just stop. | Panic attack opening 00:32 — Welcome | Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist & former paramedic 01:23 — Find your place | Settle in 01:37 — Vagus nerve breathing — interrupt the panic response 02:07 — 4-2-6 breathing — your nervous system's off switch 03:14 — The panic is already shifting 04:00 — Visualisation — your safe place 04:51 — Panic attacks are a wave — every wave passes 05:17 — Health anxiety and chest tightness — what your body is telling you 06:06 — Affirmations — first pass 07:23 — Drift passage — float into calm 08:27 — Affirmations — second pass 08:42 — Three daily caring tips for panic attacks and health anxiety 10:25 — Wake-up close 10:42 — Share this episode 11:03 — CTA — The Anxiety Circuit Breaker at calminganxiety.fm ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ TODAY'S AFFIRMATIONS 🌿 This feeling is temporary — I have survived every panic attack before this one. 🌿 My body is not in danger — it is returning to calm right now. 🌿 I know how to breathe through panic attack symptoms — and I am doing it now. 🌿 My nervous system is strong and it is already settling. 🌿 I release the fear of the feeling — and I let it pass through me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💛 THREE DAILY CARING TIPSName what is happening — out loud.When a panic attack begins or health anxiety spikes, say these words out loud if you can: "This is a panic attack. It is not dangerous. It will pass." Naming it accurately — not catastrophising it — activates the prefrontal cortex and begins to interrupt the fear loop. Naming it is not giving in. It is taking control.The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding reset for panic.When the physical symptoms of a panic attack feel overwhelming, ground yourself through your senses. Name five things you can see. Four you can touch. Three you can hear. Two you can smell. One you can taste. This pulls your attention out of the internal panic spiral and into the present moment. Keep it in your pocket for the next wave.Stop Googling your symptoms.If health anxiety is travelling alongside your panic attacks — and for many people it is — the single most powerful thing you can do between episodes is resist the urge to search your physical symptoms online. Every search feeds the anxiety loop. Speak to your doctor or a health professional once. Then trust the answer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW Calming Anxiety with Martin Hewlett is a daily 10-minute guided meditation and clinical hypnotherapy podcast.
