Panic Or No Panic - My Choice

It was very late and there was a situation and the panic was starting to take a hold again .. I sat on the edge of the bed, straightened my spine and decided that in this moment, I could follow the panic, be swallowed by it and become lost in it .. OR .. I could chose to not do any of that and by breathing, I could remain centred in my body ..

.. I chose to breathe ..

I lay down on the bed and began to use the principles. I felt into my body, I relaxed and I felt compassion for the little me, scared to death of what might have happened .. I breathed in good things and breathed out bad things .. I breathed in knowing and breathed out not knowing .. I breathed in and out .. in and out .. letting go of what might have happened .. at first, I was loosing it over and over and each time, the panic would return .. after a while however, this stopped happening and I was completely back in control .. in my body and in the moment and I was entirely calm .. the panic was gone .. I continued to do this for 1 hour and 20 minutes and then I drifted off to sleep.

I believe this is the first time I have actually used the principles and they have worked for me .. that's progress ..
