(if u r a site visitor who does not follow Julia or me on Twitter, her twt said, "got yr reply to my comment on yr blog. spot on as always! TY!! renaming my experience "stress challenge" for now :)" I love it! Thank you for your kind words. You and other folks tell me lately, "You seem to know what is in my brain." Bwah hah hah! Even readers on Amazon say it about Share My Insanity. I am feeling immensely  like Oh-Great-Shaman. Joking aside, it is an honor to be told that. I've been blessed with  such gifts: my psychic ability to see what is going on inside someone to help them; my ability to have written a book expressing things that many readers felt they were all alone in thinking; and the appreciation and fellowship I get from amazing people, peers like you who honor me by studying with me. Now, the next step is to acknowledge how my head is getting swelled from all this, so that my false ego does not run away with my day! Also, i want it clear that my ability to "see" so many people does not imply you are in a category of "just another one of them," whoever the heck "them" might imply to you. So I want to acknowledge that i am not the right teacher or author for everyone.  You and i connect because we are who we are, you are no more a generic person and student than i am a generic teacher. And you and I have developed a special connection and friendship over years of classes and a shared spiritual  journey. I teach a small number of folks who become very special to me, bc we belong together. Julia, i pray my relationship with you continues to grow and deepen. Love ya, darling!  Got yr tweet.

Both of your suggestions for Julia just now are ones you have given to me in the past - perhaps different wording, but the same ideas. I have found both to be very helpful and I continue to incorporate them into my regular life maintenance. Also, I did get your phone message about the class. I am not in a class-taking frame of mind right now, but I do really appreciate your thinking about me :) I very much benefited from the Brigid global ritual and plan to continue showing up for that sort of offering whenever possible. Thanks for all that you do! Ellen Hi Francesca!

You just keeping walking the path, being good to the world, and facing down your demons. I was in tears of gratitude after teaching class tonight: my students are amazing, you are all extraordinarily committed to inner growth, joy, and service. I get to walk next to your beauty and your bravery. I may not have a lot of students, but I have the best! Hey, I am sorry to read about all the recent anxiety here and, was it on twitter, yr blog, where? I cannot remember. Anyway, since you are not taking a class with me right now during which I cld give you a few suggestions, and who knows when our equally busy schedules wil collide for a ph call, LOL, lemme share two ideas here: 1) I get a hit that right now you don't need tools to grow, but tools to cope. Cushion sitting meditation Is perfect. 2) A suggestion, for what it is worth: try labeling the feelings something other than anxiety or panic, just for a day or two, and see if anything shifts. It might not work, and I'm not suggesting the words "anxiety" and "panic" are inaccurate or that you stop applying them to this forever, but just a day or so. See what happens. Thanks for the great post! Including supportively calling the above blog brave, i have gotten some odd reactions to it, so whew! Onward! Oh, Julia, you are the best.

I have to-- HAVE to-- follow Robyn's suggestion of immersing my mind fully in a task sometimes. Since my primary form of suffering is anxiety/panic, it's the quickest way to tame my monkey mind when it starts running away with itself. Meditation is a skill I'm learning (the traditional, sit-on-a-cushion kind) for this same purpose, which I think will also be useful for finding peacefulness in rough spots. on stronger days all I need is a view out the window, or a certain birdsong to lift my spirits. as always, thank you for your courage in being you! xoxo whew, I needed this one today!
