i struggled with driving for about a year after having a panic attack on the road, this podcast was the only thing that got me through driving in that time. i would listen while doing yoga, meditating, and driving in attempt to associate the relaxation and clarity, and luckily for me it worked. this podcast was the light at the end of my tunnel. i hope it helps you too!

This podcast dramatically helps me when I am struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or low self esteem. As soon as I feel those thoughts creeping in, I pull this out as part of my mental first aid kit. It is SO gentle and supportive. I’ve shared with friends and family so they can experience the benefits as well! Thank you infinitely for putting this into the world🫶🏻

You guys are awesome I listened to several episodes and you are great for winding down for sleep and great for rest. I have anxiety and stress and I use this for calming down the time of my body

I choose happiness every single day was the episode that really allowed me to feel that God is in control of my all. Loved the realization of it. It is truly an eye opener for me. Bless you and the work you do! Everyone should start there day in a positive note! Thank you for starting my morning right!

For me, this podcast came to me when I was at a very hard time in my life. I was incredibly anxious and could not regulate myself. I had tried other meditations that just wouldn’t work for me. This podcast is a go to for me now. It helps me to ground myself and enter into that calm state during an anxiety attack or stressful period.

A daily essential!! Gets me ready to start the day.

Yes, everyone has different preferences in voice style etc. I found it very grounding, I work in education and some days it’s very over stimulating. If your looking for something grounding and potentially calming give it a try. I know it made my day when I listened to the first episodes that caught my attention. After some quiet sessions listening to this podcast, it helped clear my head enough to really think about future goals etc. thank you 🙏🥺.

Wonderful

Martin creates a great show, but the ads do rather ruin the experience. I downloaded his app. Hope it’s not too pricy

From the very first episode I could feel my mind begin to quiet and was more calm in my body and mind.

This podcast has given me tools to reset And keep going sometimes daily sometimes weekly sometimes a few times a month! Highly recommend and thank you so much for making it available!!! I hope to buy you a coffee soon ;).

I often wonder if the people who dedicate themselves to this type of work, such as yourself, sometimes question if it’s really worth all of the hard work. I can only imagine what it must take to share so much of your time and insight with such regularity. I am only one voice but I want to say thank you, your work matters and it’s a daily part of my life.

he ate DOWN.

Not very calming to be blasted with two ads first. Also personally find his voice deeply unsettling.

While I’m on my journey of self realization and healing myself, this podcast has been able to pull me back into the now and regain focus and definitely calms the nerves and eases the mind and heart connection I am needing.

Today I listened to this podcast. In 10 short minutes, nerves were calmer.

I’ve never taken time to write a review on here before, if that says anything about how much I truly love each and every one of these amazing meditations. They have been such a light in my life. Very grateful for you sir 🥹🤍 never stop making these.

Amazing way to end each day. Unwind and increase psychological air after every episode. I truly appreciate and look forward to each unique episode. Thank you Martin!

Thank you so much Martin I have been listening almost daily for over almost 2 years to your podcast. I can always find an episode that really speaks to me and helps me through the tough times. As a survivor of childhood ptsd I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️🙏🏻

I walk every morning and listen to this podcast. It is so relaxing. Great way to start my day

For a few years now. So good.

I’ve been following this show for a long time and it has gotten me through hard times and I know it can help get me a through anything. Thank you so much Martin.

This is a staple in my calming anxiety toolkit. Thank you.

Martin has been the best and most consistent guided meditation I’ve come across. Sitting in the sun listening to another great meditation. Really helped out life in perspective, keep doing what you’re doing Martin 🌞 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

His calming voice is a daily ritual. Thank you for this beautiful content available to everyone. 🙏🏽

I have used Calming Anxiety as a resource for a couple of years now and I like Mr Hewletts tone and how his leads Guided Meditation. It is a great podcast to start your day or to unwind in the afternoon

Thanks Martin for all the positivity that you put out in the world. I love the podcast & the app helps me so much. I hope there is an update/new features coming soon. For all those who dont like the ads get the paid version of the app. Support Martin, support others.

Peaceful, positive meditation. Soothing for my soul! Thank you!

Starting each day with Martin’s podcasts has been incredibly positive for me

The loud Kroger advertisements completely negate any possibility of relaxing. I meditate to escape from the noise of this world, not to have it blaring in my headphones.

I've been having pretty difficult anxiety and panic attacks for a couple of weeks now, it's been years since it was something I had to deal with throughout the entirety of my day. This has really helped me not only drift off to sleep, but breathe deeply and get through parts of my day when I really start to freak out and the physical symptoms feel unbearable. A great tool to cope and get through tough times. Thank you!

This podcast is helping me tremendously!! My anxiety has been getting out of control so I was looking for some kind of short, simple meditation or positive thinking podcast and THIS IS IT! His voice is so calming and soothing, I can’t help but relax and breathe when following along. I would recommend to anyone! I’ve also downloaded the app and can’t wait to use the alarm clock function to wake up.

Ads are to upbeat

Absolutely amazing. One of the best few episodes I have ever listen too and so glad I have more to listen to . I have server and diagnosed with everything under the sun lol But your podcast helps so much . Thank you

Each daily message is heartfelt and delivered with honesty and kindness. This podcast is a gem and I look forward to listening every day. Thank You Martin for all you do!

Calming Anxiety has been part of my daily routine for half a year now, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you for your assistance and kindness.

Helps me sleep at night 🛌🛏🧸and wind down after hours of school & studding 100% recommend Only thing is that it would be nice for the episodes to be a little longer

I have had awful anxiety the past couple days and this podcast completely put me at peace and made me feel better about my circumstances. Very thankful this content is easily accessible and free of charge!

Lots of other better meditation apps. I just can’t get past the weird affected gruff voice.

Thank you for this podcast. I’m new to meditation and was reluctant to try it. I forced myself to try one and was surprised that I got through it and felt substantially better. I listened to two last night and it helped me get out of the negative loop and slept well. Finally slept. I woke up and played another and slept again. Deeply. I plan on using this when I return home this week to deal with all kinds of family drama. I imagine I might exhaust all the episodes. Thanks again for this tool. Your voice is soothing and kind and that alone is helpful.

I have really bad anxiety and built up anger but listening to your podcast helps tremendously. I don’t have that chest tightening feeling when I get worked up anymore. 10/10 recommended

Began listening to this recently as I have struggled with anxiety for longer than I realized and have tried a variety of methods to cope with it. Found every one I listened to helpful, some more than others, but overall very spot to on with help where I needed it. Just listened to the insomnia one as that has been a great stressor for me recently and some parts of it I had tried in the past, but overall seemingly very helpful until the very end when an ad blasted loudly and snapped me out of my calm state. One big problem I have had with other meditation apps was the ads in the middle causing the opposite effect than what is intended. Yours had ads at the beginning which was understandable and made it worthwhile. I understand as you advertise during these episodes you offer a paid version however finances is also one cause of anxiety and I had not got to the point I was prepared to add this to the list of my expenses. Now I am more awake than when I started and my insomnia is in full swing. Hate to write negative reviews, and I still appreciate the service you are providing, however this experience has left me at a loss. My only hope is sharing this experience, which was not easy for me to do, reduces the chances of this happening to someone else. Hopefully I move past this as I had really started to rely on these episodes and your clearly effective methods of helping people that struggle with anxiety.

This is a highlight to my day, and now my daughter’s as well. It’s become a calming, familiar haven to step into. Thank you.

Thank you Martin for sharing your gift!

Weird stuff. Why not just rotate episodes, they all seem the same.

You are a bright light in this dark room

I found Martin some months ago and have made calming a part of my morning routine which gets me through my days!!! Xoxoxo

This dude is awesome. I found him almost a month ago, and he has helped me a lot. I hadn't realized how much stress I had. Thank you to all you do Martin! Guys! even if you don't want ads, it's only a coffee a month! Do it if it bugs you.

Prepare yourself to start with a ridiculously loud McDonalds or banking commercial in the beginning and at the end. If you successfully relax just be forewarned that there are these insanely loud commercials to wake you up at the end. What a jerk to sell meditations with these kinds of interruptions. Boycott those advertisers.
