When the future feels uncertain , the mind naturally tries to solve it by running through every possible outcome . In this episode of Calming Anxiety , host Martin Hewlett —a clinical hypnotist and former frontline paramedic —invites you to stop rehearsing and return to the safety of the present moment. Because the mind cannot find peace whilst the nervous system is still scanning for danger , we begin by settling the body through a targeted vagus nerve reset. Martin shares a vital lesson from his time as a paramedic: the body and mind are extraordinary at handling what is actually happening , but they struggle with the imagined danger created by an unchecked imagination . Whether you are sitting or lying down , use this 10-minute guided meditation to release every thought about tomorrow and realize that you are more capable than your anxiety gives you credit for .
