I remember a Zen teacher of mine talking about his mind as a self-guided missile, always targeting something to be anxious about. That has certainly been my experience over the last couple of days, although I can be with, and be, whatever comes up, and that makes it easier. It is also helpful to recognize the underlying pattern, which helps me to see it in a broader context and not just as relating to the particular triggers or focal points for the anxiousness.
I was looking for blogs about tai chi and came across yours. I have whats referred to as a hard style Karate School and this is something we’ve been contemplating adding to it. Great blog you have and I’ve enjoyed reading the posts on it.
