CAN'T STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH – GUIDED MEDITATION

CAN'T STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH – GUIDED MEDITATION

Author: Martin Hewlett - Calming Anxiety March 24, 2026 Duration: 10:33
Do you find yourself lying awake, unable to stop worrying about your health? When the house is quiet and the world slows down, health anxiety and "symptom checking" can become overwhelming.


In this session, Martin Hewlett—a clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic—guides you through a "Night Calm" practice specifically designed to interrupt the health worry loop. Drawing on years of frontline emergency experience, Martin explains the difference between what your mind tells you at 2:00 AM and what your body is actually doing. Using the power of your parasympathetic nervous system, you will learn to move from a state of hyper-vigilance into deep, safe rest.
