Oh man this article hits home right now and the clip feels like I am watching myself. I am feeling this so deeply right now with intense anxiety arising in meditation and in some difficult interactions where I feel the tightness in my ribs grip my throat so tightly that it becomes so hard to say anything...Or feel at ease at all. BUT its changing...Softening and expanding into total acceptance of what I am feeling...opening the space rather than tightening or trying to get rid of the anxiety is allowing a natural expression to bubble forth even when i feel so frozen and gripped inside. Thank you for this article... It expressed just what I am feeling and feels so supportive!

Love,
Jenny
