{Nancy Eaton, Out of the Deep}
This will pass.
There is no need to push away or abandon Body.
Body knows just what to do.
No matter what happens, stay in your Body.
It may be extreme, intense, and never-ending, but it WILL pass.
There is more ease than struggle in this life. More happiness, more contentment than struggle.
Don’t blame yourself. If you do, you also need to take credit for all the good in your life, too, which we’ve already agreed far exceeds the struggle.
Don’t distract: breathe, shake, cry. Move, imagine, speak or create from the experience.
Ask Panic: what is holding my energy right now? Shame? Guilt? Terror? Hold it up to see.
This is your own experience, it doesn’t need to be explained to anyone else to make it valid.
Your Tribe is all around you – lean on them! Don’t worry about how it looks. It looks fucking brave – that’s how it looks. It looks like you went HAM on Panic – claimed it, rode it, yelled “help!”, leaned into it and listened with a steady and intent gaze.
When it passes, let it go. There could be more, but don’t keep the company of vigilance – in your mind or in your body.
I love you. You are so brave.
