Embracing Inner Weather: Transforming Anxiety into Awareness
Mar 18, 2024
You know the thing about the weather….sometimes it is “good”, sometimes it is “bad”.
Of course, I know people who love a good rainstorm and others who hate it!
The bicyclist might not like the rain as it makes it hard to ride whereas the farmer may love the free water for their crops.
So the weather isn’t really good or bad, is it? It’s all a matter of opinion.
What about your thoughts and feelings?
Are you deciding which are negative and which are acceptable and “good” feelings?
Or are you looking at the weather both outside and inside as just what they are?
Natural expressions of energy moving.
Many times in my life I have struggled with very intense anxiety. So much so that I would get full-blown panic attacks.
For a long time I would fight to push away that anxious feeling, as soon as it started up I would contract in fear or zone out and disassociate from my body.
This not only left me out of connection to the world around me but also created more fear around the anxiety. Each time it would come up there would be extra fear and extra pressure within me to block it out.
This went on until I had so much anxiety it became physical, creating symptoms (messages) in my body. It was screaming at me! I found it hard to go to work or do basic things I needed to be able to do to survive.
Here is where I started to meditate, I started to meet this anxiety not with fear but rather with curiosity. I started to listen to its messages.
I started to make space for it, room for it to communicate its message to me, and then through a visual technique, I started to move that message out and choose a new path.
I still have some anxiety today, but my relationship with it is leaps and bounds better, and with a simple technique I can turn that anxiety into awareness and learn from it rather than let it shut down my life and my body. I don’t see it as bad weather anymore, just energy moving.
