Is your nervous system stuck in "danger mode"? In this 10-minute somatic reset, we retrain your mind to stop scanning for threats and start hunting for
Glimmers—those micro-moments of safety that physically calm your anxiety.Using the latest somatic techniques, Martin guides you through a powerful session designed to switch off the panic response and regulate your vagus nerve.
In this session, we cover:- The Double Inhale Breath: The fastest physiological way to hack your nervous system and lower cortisol.
- Somatic Release: A guided body scan to drop the "heavy backpack" of tension from your shoulders and jaw.
- Glimmer Hunting: A visualization technique to rewire your brain’s filter to see the light, not just the dark.
Today’s 3 Caring Tips for a Happier, More Positive Life:- Set a Glimmer Goal: Challenge yourself to find 3 tiny things tomorrow that feel good (a nice smell, a soft blanket) and explicitly name them as "glimmers".
- The Somatic Shake: If you feel stress building, stand up and shake your hands and legs for 30 seconds to physically discharge the trauma.
- Protect Your Morning: Do not look at your phone for the first 10 minutes of the day. Let your nervous system wake up in safety, not reaction mode.

Finding a moment of quiet in a busy mind can feel like a distant hope. Calming Anxiety | Guided Meditation, Sleep Hypnosis & Panic Attack Relief is built on the understanding that relief is a practice, not a single destination. Hosted by Martin Hewlett, a certified practitioner, this podcast serves as a personal, audio sanctuary for anyone whose days are shadowed by worry or whose nights are spent wrestling with restless thoughts. Each episode is crafted with a gentle, caring tone, providing a practical library of tools you can return to daily. You might find a short, ten-minute mindfulness session designed to defuse afternoon stress, or a longer, immersive sleep hypnosis track to guide you out of insomnia and into deep rest. The focus is on genuine, accessible techniques-from guided meditations that calm racing thoughts to specific panic attack relief-all aimed at fostering a tangible sense of peace. This isn't about abstract concepts; it's about hearing a supportive voice that helps you navigate back to calm, one breath at a time. Tune in whenever you need a resource to quiet the noise and reclaim a sense of stillness.
