How long does meditation take to help anxiety?

Many people feel a little calmer after a single practice, because slow, attentive breathing settles the body’s stress response in the moment. The steadier, longer-term shift, feeling less hijacked by anxious thoughts, tends to build over a few weeks of regular practice. Consistency matters more than length. Ten focused minutes most days does more than an occasional long session. StillMind adapts each practice to how anxious you feel that day, so it meets you where you are.
