If you're open to considering qi gong, I highly recommend Lee Holden's Qi Gong for Anxiety: https://www.holdenqigong.com/product...g-for-anxiety/ . It is also available on Amazon.
How about some YT options? Can't beat the price and you can try different instructors to see who you click with - or not. All of these are under 30 minutes and most are under 20 minutes and several clock in closer to 10 minutes. I haven't done all of these videos, but have sampled videos from all of these instructors. Yoga for Stress Relief/7 Minutes - Yoga with Adriene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiKJRoX_2uo Yoga for Anxiety - Yoga with Adriene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJJWArRfKa0 Meditation for Anxiety - Yoga with Adriene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pLUleLdwY4 30 Minute Yoga for the Nervous System - Yoga with Kassandra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVqH6qPDdh0 10 Minute Yoga for Stress and Anxiety - Yoga with Bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TuRYV71Rgo Bedtime Yoga to Release Tension & Stress - Yoga with Bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TQsfBYCyKQ Bedtime Yoga for Stress & Anxiety - Sarah Beth Yoga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S4WOgXyQMo 15 Minute Yoga for Anxiety & Stress Relief - Sarah Beth Yoga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI-hKN-dVLY Yoga To Alleviate Anxiety - yoginimelbourne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWdj49vzUZg 7-Minute Seated Qi Gong to Relieve Anxiety Naturally - Lee Holden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr5vt2-iaeo Qigong Mood Lifter - YoQi/Marisa Cranfill (one of my favorite YT practices): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr5vt2-iaeo There are boatloads of yoga, meditation and qi gong YT options if you just type in "yoga for anxiety", etc. I'm glad to hear you're going to be able to discuss this with your physician to see if he/she has other recommendations. Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Yin Yoga can be soothing. Have you tried any Yin Yoga? Here are a few to try:

Thank you for your concern! Quote:
My appointment is later today. Keeping fingers crossed that my doctor will have some helpful suggestions, too. I have tried some yin yoga. Thank you for the suggestions, though. I will check them out. Donna

Let me recommend Pauline Mckinnon's Stillness Meditation Therapy.
It's a specific method of meditation, that focuses on creating a sense of ease in the body. Here's a link to a short version on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8AhG9uHGuQ Her website has downloads available for longer meditations, but they're quite similar. Before I had access to the longer downloads, I'd just pause the meditation recording at a certain point (when she stops talking for a bit) and then set a timer to continue on, and pick up the recording again to finish the meditation with her guidance. Another issue I cope with is insomnia, and I've found that listening to a guided meditation is helpful when I wake up in the middle of the night. Another source for guided meditations is Caroline McCready, I really like her Bone Deep sleep meditation. It's designed to be listened to as you fall asleep. It's on Youtube, but I purchased downloads of a number of her meditations for my MP3 player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1j2Uhzc08s In terms of medications and supplements, I do think timing matters. I've recently adjusted a dose of medication, and find that taking it at bedtime isn't helpful. Guess my body doesn't like coping with that as I'm trying to fall asleep.
