Dear not-so-lost-star who is feeling anxious:

I thought about you a few days ago, wondering and here you are, a bit over two months since you last post. I am glad you are back!

Anxiety is … something else, isn’t it? But despair not, as there is hope. Only it takes forever to heal from it more and more, an ongoing process… and when you think you got it.. well, not really. There is more.

Anxiety, that ongoing fear, sometimes at rest, at other times triggered. And when triggered we fear a return at its worse. I learned that it does lose intensity over time of healing. I have to be very patient with the process and gentle with myself. This healing is not something I am doing independently of nature, something I direct, making the rules. Instead it is about me availing myself to the healing force of nature, the healing that all living things experience, with no directing, no willing it and managing it. It just happens. We humans have to … intentionally and wisely get out of the way of natural healing.

The fear of more fear, is what you are experiencing, correct? When is the last time you experienced severe anxiety, in what circumstance was that, and how have you been feeling and doing these last two months?
