How often, when you experience anxiety of some sort, do you flee from it in order to avoid discomfort? For example, maybe you drink in order to avoid social anxiety, medicate in order to "relax," isolate in order to avoid connection or even give yourself away in order to avoid speaking your truth. More often than not, when we feel anxious, we do anything to not experience the feelings of distress.  

Part of the technique in working with energy is to stay with the feeling of anxiety in order to tune in the message that the anxiety is giving you. Most always, there is a message contained in it. Whether derived from a physical ailment, challenging situation, or dynamic between you and someone else, the anxiety you feel on the surface usually has guidance trailing behind it. Guidance that your body would prefer you listen to. Examples may be: please stop abusing your body and mind, there is another alternative here, if you weren't afraid what would you really choose to do?, speak your truth - you know you are going to be bothered by it later on, etc. etc.

The idea is to step into the discomfort or darkness, as opposed to turning away from it. By choosing to face what you fear, you are choosing to free yourself from what holds you back.  

This April, consider choosing to free yourself from the chains of anxiety in order to raise yourself up to a higher place of understanding.
