And so the invitation, when that happens, is that you go inside and you feel it.

So you let go of the resistance to the feeling, because that's what we normally do.

We contract and we hold our breath and we try not to feel it.

One of my favorite sayings is from the father of cognitive psychology is, fear is excitement with the breath held.

Fear is excitement with the breath held.

Fear and excitement is the same damn feeling.

It's just a matter of, do we breathe into it, or do we try to contract and hold it away?

People pay money to go on a roller coaster, and they scream.

Why?

Because they feel excitement.

But it's really fear.

It's just that they're not actually scared for their lives.

But the moment that that roller coaster goes off the rails, you can see that excitement turn into fear really fast.

So what we want to do is we want to let go of that resistance to it and just open up and breathe and invite the feeling in and allow it to expand.

And that could be hella scary.

Because if you're not used to this, you might think, oh shit, this is never going to go away.

It's going to just go on forever.

And where is this going to lead?

And it might feel like you're free falling and out of control.

And that's just another feeling.
