I totally understand about building awareness and being the "witness" as this fits in with a lot of the Buddhist teachings I've read. I try to stand back and get a read on my feelings throughout the day, but I have a really hard time accessing these emotions in a direct way. When I try to lay back and let them come to the surface, I typically freeze up or can only sense them in a general way. I've only cried a handful of times in the last several months and while it was cathartic, it's really hard to open these feelings up and, at the same time, maintain some kind of distance. Anxiety is a lot more common for me and somewhat easier to sit with. I may very well be experiencing some form of anger--more often surfacing as frustration, self loathing or depression--but maybe I'm afraid to let these feelings out too.
I know "there's nothing to fear but fear itself" and I do want to let these feelings flow, but there's still a part of me sabotaging myself. |
