FAQ

Are guided meditations safe during panic?

Yes — but choose short, body-based ones. Avoid techniques that focus inward too sharply at first.

How often should I use them for anxiety?

Daily is helpful — even when you’re not anxious. It builds resilience between flare-ups.

What kind of guidance works best?

Calm, slow, clear voices that focus on grounding and sensory awareness tend to work best.

Can this replace therapy?

It can support therapy, not replace it. Meditation builds inner tools — sometimes that’s enough, sometimes it’s part of a bigger plan.

Do I have to sit still?

Not necessarily. You can walk slowly or sway gently. Listen while moving if stillness feels too much.
