Anxiety

Anxiety, what is it?

A physical reaction in the body

A heart racing fast

Thoughts running so fast but no thought to catch at all

An unrest

A tightness of the chest

A shortness of the breath

Like we need to avoid a threat

but it can't be seen or heard

like something is stuck

but there's nothing to grasp

Fear

Overwhelm

Chaos

A lack of peace within the self

out of alignment

out of touch

unanswered questions

feelings unfelt

lack of conclusions

this isn't what I want

I don't know what I want

unfinished business

out of integrity

dishonouring the deep, true self

disregarding the facts

disapproving

rationalising, not following the calling

ignoring the calls

not stepping into alignment

not making the decisions

not making the choice

not making the change, that is tough

waiting

waiting

waiting

waiting for something else

this and then it's that

not doing what you truly want

not today

let me just look away

I shouldn't be feeling this way

resistance

but the body can't be tricked

what is important

locating oneself

breathing into the anxiety

let it show you

let it reveal the hidden facts

facts about you

what you want

what is not working

what isn't processed yet

it's information

it has a message

unveiling of the unconscious

it's a guide

it's a sign to come into the body

and out of the head

to stop the spinning and to ground yourself

and then listen

sit

listen closely to what comes up

the energy needs a way out

it needs an outlet

it needs attention

it needs presence

it needs movement

out of the mind, out of body

let the fear be held by love

let it speak

let it have a voice

let it weep

let it cry

let it scream

let it move

let it be wrapped in words

let it show itself fully

let it be

allow it to be

and see

be a witness

it is not you

it is an energy moving through you

and in that process

all is revealed

all that is needed

feeling

knowing

action

truths

it is medicine

it calls us to be true to ourselves
