"The key to awakening from the bonds of fear is to move from our mental stories into immediate contact with the sensations of fear – the squeezing, pressing, burning, trembling, quaking, jittering life in our body.
In fact, the story – as long as we remain awake and don’t get stuck in it – can become a useful gateway to the raw fear itself. While the mind will continue to generate stories about what we fear, we can recognize the thoughts for what they are (just thoughts) and drop under them again and again to connect with the feelings in our body.
