I lie back
Scan the body
Each part I make heavy and relaxed
Sinking into the earth
The bed as support
The muscles loosening to the weight
Then I let the truth of feeling come up in body
I feel the throttling tightness in my throat, the sharpness in my chest,  the aches all around and the churning in my stomach
I lay with the discomfort
Staying still and as relaxed as I can as I do
The sensations bloom and I let them flow
To just be
I can stay with this feeling
Each time I feel it more or less in one or another place
I place my hand on my heart provide compassion acceptance and a comforting reassurance
I let a wave flow through my body as I come back to the room
And I make it through every time

I now throughout my day let the anxious feeling come up for air until it dissipates ...
I've ran away for too long.
