hey bob what do you mean about gillard?..
hang on i am a gillard supporter!.. don't get me started on politics! envy me mike..jesus..why?... i am really trying to listen to the necessary steps from the teachers on line that i have discovered and come to terms with finding a space where i can be at peace.. folk never ring me as the sound of the phone has me jump 3 feet out of my chair and i get the feeling of dread... that feeling is the same feeling i had last night after the breath was released... we will see what tonight holds... merle.. oh bob do you know kiaran warner...? he is my tai chi teacher.. Bob, Merle, Good point about the CO2 build up (and Gillard!). Merle, you could use this situation as an excellent object of meditation. When you feel this fear starting to arise go into it deeply. Where in the body do you feel the sensations? Are they 'solid' sensations or more subtle? Do they stay in one place or move location? Do they last along time or sometimes completely disappear only to come back? Does your mind start making up stories/movies about what is causing the fear or is it just a feeling beyond words? Eventually you might notice that everything you experience (physical-mental) is in flux. It's like you've become a detached observer rather than a wallowed of the emotion. With more practice you might experience a sense of equanimity even tho the physical sensations of fear remain. It's an amazing opportunity for further practice! I envy you!
