This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 19, 2009:
If I can catch myself before I'm speeding away from it at warp gazillion grinning inanely and bursting into sporadic giggles....
I centre and breathe into the sensations it's made up of. I let the breath gently expand the places where the individual layers of tissue emotion have got snarled up with each other. As the breath edges slowly in, lapping through the tight places and freeing up their innate urge to jive with their cosmic song-of-the-moment, the inhales expand and exhales extend.
Usually, if I get to the kernel of it all, the energy's dancing in a way that feels a lot like excitement. Specially when it's basking in pure presence.... Yeeha!
The trick, of course, is in the catching of myself :)

Nice, Lindsay. I like how you summed this up, “The trick, of course, is in the catching of myself”.
I love your post. I have been having trouble getting over my fears and this is great advice.
