Release

Yesterday, I went to the dentist.

It was an emergency visit.

I was none to pleased about it!

Once I was able to be fully awake after the laughing gas, I panicked a bit.

The right side of my face was numb.

Down to my throat.

Swallowing was not easy.

PTSD.

I told Mike that I was not liking the feeling of my face being numb and my swallow feeling hard.

He understood.

He said that not everyone has had the same life experiences as me and that it was understandable that I was scared.

He said that this time, it would go back to normal as soon as the medicine wore off.

I knew this to be true.
But, it was still a very, very difficult situation and the emotions were real.

So, I went into meditation mode.

I grounded myself by asking what my feet were touching, where I felt tingling in my body...

Placing one hand on my belly and one on my chest and focusing on my deep breathing...

Touching my fingers...

Asking myself what my eyes saw and what my ears heard...

Then, I released the fears by imagining them in balloons and allowing the balloons to float away.

This is how I release.

Practice. Practice. Practice!
