Somatic Reset  10 Minutes to Turn Off Your Panic Response

Somatic Reset 10 Minutes to Turn Off Your Panic Response

Author: Martin Hewlett - Calming Anxiety February 17, 2026 Duration: 10:21
Finding tranquility in a busy world shouldn't be another task on your to-do list. This episode of Calming Anxiety offers a 10-minute somatic reset designed to help you transition from "optimization mode" to a state of restorative peace.

Overcome Stress and Reclaim Your Inner PeaceIn this guided session, we practice glimmer hunting—the mindful art of noticing micro-moments of safety and joy, such as the warmth of a morning coffee or a patch of golden sunlight. By shifting your focus from external triggers to internal safety, you can effectively retrain your nervous system to choose calm over panic.



Inside This 10-Minute Mindfulness Session:
  • The Double Inhale Technique: Learn the fastest, science-backed breathing method to hack your nervous system and instantly turn off the panic response.

  • Progressive Somatic Release: A guided body scan to identify where the day has "clenched" and manually release tension from your jaw, shoulders, and core.


  • Daily Affirmations for Worthiness: Deepen your subconscious belief in your own value with our daily intention: "I am open to the good that is here".

  • 3 Practical Caring Tips: Actionable advice on setting "glimmer goals," using the "somatic shake" to discharge physical stress, and protecting your mental health with a 10-minute morning digital fast.

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.
