I am in yoga class. I'm in a posture. My body letting go takes me over. Like a wild horse that just broke loose from the rope that it was tied to. I can't stop it. I feel like I am dissolving into nothing. No-thingness. No body. All I feel is a tiny seed of what is now my mind. Is this me? No ground. Nothing to hold on to. No boundary. Nothing to tell me who I am based on what I am not. I feel scared. My mind comes in and tells me, "It will be over soon." This feeling of free falling, like I just jumped off a building and I am falling down towards the earth at an extremely high speed. My mind comes in again. I tell myself, "Trust me. It will be over soon." I relax. The falling stops and instead the entire outer surface of who I am becomes obvious. I feel my skin. I feel the boundary between me and what's outside of me. I feel relieved. I can feel every cell in my skin. It feels like my skin is drinking the sensation that I feel. I feel hydrated, refreshed, energized.
