Someone took the box away, but you didn't move

You didn't know you weren't imprisoned anymore. It's like if you were imprisoned in a box or something, and then you stopped moving because you didn't want to hit the walls, and then someone took the box away, but you didn't move, so you didn't know you weren't imprisoned anymore. But then you start moving, you're like, oh, it's not there anymore. Because that's how the body works.

When you get a lot of anxiety, what happens is, or something new, you'll have anxiety all around your sense of a self or your body, and then you won't want to move into the anxiety field. So then you'll start to have a freeze response and you'll get rigid because you know if you do too much, you'll hit that wall. And so, but then, but also often the antidote is to do that, to hit the wall, and you have to go through this period where you're breaking out of the egg or whatever, and it's uncomfortable. But then it's better.

Because then there's a give and take with the unknown, you know. But it's more that you have to kind of play with it, you know. You can't just like think it. You have to somatically be some sort of more a give and take, an energetic or behavioral give and take, or movement, or singing.

Oh, it is okay to be flexible. I don't have to be rigid. Oh, I remember I did this before. I always feel better when I dance.

I always feel better when I sing. How do I always forget that? Hi, I'm Scott, a spiritual teacher guiding people through spiritual awakening by embracing our humanness.
