Taking off for Scott Sonnon's CST seminar in Bellingham. Can't begin to thank this brilliant man for what he's done in helping me integrate my physical and mental practices. He's the best.

A thought: the only reason we are ever afraid is that we aren't paying attention to the NOW. Since responses in the Now are the only things that can ever resolve a problem, fear should be seen as a signal to re-center your breathing and stay Now. The greater the fear, the louder the signal. Fear is our friend.

I always thought fear was over thinking, signs get seen that was intended to be overlooked;then the past fear kicks in from like you said not being in the now. So when you think back to that 'future' you get scared on what coulda,shoulda and woulda-those different scenarios if you had been in the now.
