  • Are you tired of your nervous stomach wrecking your life? Or, do you hold tension in your stomach from anxiety? You can learn how to relax your stomach with this guided meditation for digestion.
    This meditation will help you release the grip on your stomach muscles and allow your entire body to relax.
    The body naturally holds tension, and we all have certain tension hotspots in common where you are unconsciously holding tension. The stomach is one of the worst offenders. It’s not possible to avoid stress in life. But you can do something about how it affects your body. This tension release exercise will teach you how to relax your stomach naturally, relieve anxiety and stomach problems, and get rid of nervous stomach. Stress can make your stomach hurt. But if you can learn to release the abdominal tension you can feel more control over the sensations.
    Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be aggravated by stress so this can also be used as an IBS meditation. I have a newer meditation specifically for IBS pain here: • IBS MEDITATION - IBS p...

I have downloaded it and have listened to it for about a week now. Well, you see, recently, my gerd symptoms are triggered by my anxiety. But ever since listening to this video, day by day i feel better. I know recovery is a long process, but now i can see that I’m on the path to recovery. I hope everything becomes better for everyone that is suffering like me. Thank you for people like you. May God bless you eternal blessings.

      @@starrysoup hey, I think I might have IBS, but I’m not sure... all my life I was never regular, had a bowel movement every 6-10 days with really bad cramps around 20 minutes before I had to go. Since December 30 through all of January and now February, it has gotten worse and I have been bloated everyday. Not just a little, my stomach sticks out 2-3 inches depending on the hour. It’s from my lower abdomen all the way up to my rib cage. I have been gassy, had headaches, been tired and not motivated, and like I said bloated, sometimes my stomach expands in front of my eyes. I have been very stressed out lately I feel like (I have anxiety but recently it has gotten a lot worse). After Christmas break I learned my school was going online and that’s when it started. Then we go back in person and it doesn’t get better I feel like I’m falling behind in every subject (my grades are fine I’m the top of my class but it’s my work ethic that seems to be going away... school is easy for me so that usually means I go above and beyond on projects and homework but I come home and don’t even open my backpack anymore... I rush and do all my homework and studying in a 20 minute study hall... this isn’t normal for me but I can’t help it I’m so unmotivated and anxious). This whole bloating thing is also causing my anxiety, I’m skinny and my stomach is always flat no matter what I eat but now for over a month straight I’m bloated everyday and it’s very noticeable compared to what my stomach used to look like (I can’t see my ribs or abs anymore). My jeans don’t fit from the lower abdomen bloating, my bras are too tight from the upper bloating. I also think I’m lactose intolerant, and I’ve been eating more dairy lately (because I’m trying to increase my protein- nothing to do with this I’m just trying to gain more muscle).
      I’ve been researching IBS and a lot of the symptoms and other people’s experiences I can relate to. Do you think I have IBS? Also I forgot to mention I’m 15.

    For most of my IBS flare ups, I have searched for something that explains the process and requires you to use the connection between our minds and the gut and finally i have. This is not only really helpful but also empowering. I am not being critical of any other IBS/Anxiety meditations available out there because they are free and helpful but this one made me feel like I was in control, it felt real to say to my gut, im sorry, come back! I will continue to use this as most of may flare ups do calm down, that is something I take great pleasure in knowing and for those who suffer similarly, must be your aim because you can return to normal!

We all go through times that are more stressful, and it will be those times when the anxiety, PTSD and digestive issues will get worse. So it will be extra important for you to treat yourself gently and with love during those stressful times.

If so that is the core of your problem learning to calm the mind is what I'm learning also soothes the stomach it helps if you try to have a very happy life style as possible like doing things you love etc. Long walks and moments of quietness also helps.

    I’ve suffered from IBS since I was a child and after I had my gallbladder removed several years ago, it got about 1000 times worse. I weighed 73 pounds for five years until my husband had sudden onset Lewy body dementia and had to be institutionalized. I had to get up or I would never see him again, so I started eating. I’ve been doing OK, although on a bland diet, and was even able to bring him home for the last 2 1/2 years of his life with caregiver help. He passed away about 5 1/2 months ago and his loss has triggered IBS symptoms that are just awful. This meditation made me feel better! I’m going to listen to it at least once a day, if not twice. I have so much empathy for all the people who left comments because there’s just nothing worse than feeling so ill and not being able to eat. It’s very scary! Thank you so much for this meditation!

Another viewer had mentioned finding it difficult to eat, so I made another meditation you may find helpful, it's designed to calm you before mealtimes czcams.com/video/SM8kwrZSEoE/video.html. Hope it helps

    whenever my stomach tenses up, my whole body sort of starts jittering/jolting, almost as if my body is responding to the tension and it can get rlly uncomfortable and annoying. doctors have said it’s due to anxiety but i’m pretty sure it’s not because i haven’t been too anxious lately, although i have suffered from extreme anxiety in the past because it comes and goes. anyways i hope this helps!!

    • @GenerationCalm
      @GenerationCalm  Před 3 lety +3

      Anxiety can give us some very real physical sensations, including shaking. Adding some meditation to your routine can’t do any harm, but if your tension continues it would good to get a second opinion from another doctor.

    This is brilliant. Your advice is really helping me. I have driving anxiety. I have developed this recently as a van hit me slightly on the motorway last August with my son in the back and now I have no confidence but I am taking baby steps to get my way back on to the motorway.

    • @GenerationCalm

      I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, it must have been a terrible shock, especially with your son in the back. . Even though an accident isn't necessary for a driving anxiety to develop it sounds like that has really knocked your confidence. I'm really impressed with you taking the baby steps to get back on the motorway. Slowly and steadily you can do this. Only at quiet times at first, then build up gradually. Wishing you much luck with it. And I'm glad you and your son are safe.

    I think this one is actually my favorite one. I like that you took the time to focus on the different parts of the abdomen like the upper part (where I feel the most pain), the middle and the lower part independently and letting go of tension in each part. That exercise really helps me out a lot. I know I comment often, but until I can get my issues looked at by a doctor, these truly help with my pain. I'm not sure if it's IBS or gastritis I'm dealing with. I lost so much weight due to my condition in the past few months. I'm a 33 year old adult who is now 92 lbs because I throw up everything. I think it's time to schedule an appointment.

    • @GenerationCalm
      @GenerationCalm  Před 3 lety +6

      Yes, definitely get yourself checked out by a doctor. You might not get a diagnosis straight away ... it might be a bit of a journey. But at the moment, the pain, upset stomach and weight loss is getting in the way of enjoying life. As much as I love you coming back to my videos I'd be happier knowing you're feeling healthy and well. It's time to make that appointment!

      i have too many physical symptoms to list 😅 frequent heart palpitations, jaw issues, dizziness etc. the list goes quite on... but first learning to recognise that they are anxiety symptoms has made a great difference (as i have health/illness anxiety, amongst other things)

    I suffer from health anxiety and recently had a blood test. (A massive big deal for me)
    The blood test results were absolutely fine but waiting for the results caused me to be running to the toilet and an upset tummy. Even after I had my results my tummy would not settle down, I started to get the unnatural hunger feeling etc. I have had these issues before and they usually drag on for weeks.
    After listening and following instructions from this video my stomach felt 90% better, following day I listened to the video a couple more times and I’m delighted to say my tummy is 100% back to normal. Thank you so much for this video.

    This meditation is truly good. I hold a lot of my negative emotions in the stomach and usually have guilt around food. Since I was a kid. This meditation helped a lot with releasing that negativity.
    Thank you.

    I always use this sound when I have high stomach pain throught back and it always helped me

      That's fantastic! Not that you have frequent stomach pain, of course ... but that you have found something that helps. It's amazing what relaxing the muscles can do.
