When anxiety has you caught in a loop
A short breath and somatic practice to help your nervous system get the message. You’re safe. You can rest.
Your mind runs the scenarios. Your chest tightens. Your breath gets shallow and fast, and the worry feels even more real.
And you can’t think your way out of that. The way out is through your body.
This audio walks you through it, one step at a time. Lying down, sitting, wherever you are when the loop starts up.

The worry lives in your body too
You’ve probably been told to think positive. Distract yourself with something else. Talk yourself down. And you’ve tried. But when your body is braced for danger, logic doesn’t land. Your nervous system needs to feel safe first. Then the mind can follow.
This audio gives you a way to do that. A few minutes of breath and body cues you can come back to every time the loop starts.

A practice for orienting to safety, then a few quiet minutes to rest

Hi, I’m Maeve
I came to this work through biochemistry. I wanted to understand how the body and mind work. And understanding them intellectually only got me so far. At some point, you have to learn to speak the language of your nervous system if you want to change how you feel.
I’ve been teaching breathwork and somatics for over 10 years. I work with people one-on-one, lead group journeys and retreats, and train breathwork facilitators. I’m based on Koh Samui, Thailand, and work with people all over the world online.
This audio is one of the simplest tools I share with clients. And one I still come back to myself.
