Hi open,

Your reply were right on the button. There was an expectation in myself to come up with an answer soon. I recognize its my stuff.

I guess the issue has shifted from the outside more to the inside, something as separate to something within the flow. This is an improvement. I'm thinking if ego is something that attaches itself to the experience can or really exist as something separate from the flow. This is hard to see when one is running around fixing the problem. Contentment is the key word. I can feel it as you said when I see the expression as something that goes along with the process and thus helping me come into more of me. It's not something to be used to achieve in the outside world.

I did regress into the experience as you told and also a situation wanted to create that generated the tightness. The pain is near the heart chakra. I feel it has to do with the feeling of rejection, needing love and support from outside. I feel it is something deeply ingrained and I doubt if it can be unwound by breathing alone. Something funny that comes to mind is that I used to play in a metal band and was pretty serious about it at that time. It's ironical that all we were looking for by screaming and distorted guitars was love!

You said in the other post that centre is different from presence. Is centre the part of us that recognize that something deeper is in play here, we don't need nothing already have and the choice can go whichever way. And is presence that which lies in the other side of tightness and through which right action flows. So centre precedes presence.
