There are days that I wake and the old friend; Anxiety is already here, making up stories, confusing me, and having me question my entire life, purpose, potential, happiness, and capacity to help others. Somedays, it takes me a while to remember that every feeling has been invited to deliver me a message. You might be asking, "invited by who?" This question doesn't lead to solutions but keeps you stuck in a perpetual cycle of insecurity and is the fertile ground for Anxiety to propagate. But suppose you must have an answer about who invited such a challenging feeling to your body's home. In that case, there are many ways that we are sending invitations to Anxiety to visit, one very obvious is our inability, our unwillingness to feel the Anxiety and be present with passing discomfort, so this leads Anxiety to come back again, until it's acknowledged. Another way is when we speak and act out of alignment with our heart's values, we create a karmic momentum of consequences that will show us the things we do that are creating an imbalance in our life. And the other few ways are most mystical; one is through our past lives, so the consequences of our past actions in our previous lives can blossom in our current present experience. Another is the unfelt feelings from those in our lineage. The unhealed parts of our ancestors are our job to heal. And lastly, it's the collective pain of being human that so many of us are unwilling to admit; therefore, we build our lives around running away from discomfort and clinging to what we think will bring us happiness. Remember, Anxiety is nothing but a passing uncomfortable feeling, don't allow yourself to get carried away in the stories that a challenging feeling brings up. If you want to heal, be with the feeling, and drop the story. Master staying in your body while Anxiety is visiting, do not leave your home (body), do not be seduced by the stories, do not distract yourself, gather all of your mental energy and direct it into your body to the exact place you feel the uncomfortable feeling, and just watch the governing natural law take place: the sensation will change, because everything changes.
