What am I holding onto?

Feeling upset is often another way of feeling threatened.  An idea or story is coming in that we don’t like because it threatens a belief we are holding onto that might lead to deeper truth if released.  If you can observe what feels threatened, often the need to keep it in place will let go and the negative response will give way to a feeling of expansiveness or peace.  The deeper things hit us, the harder it can be to see what we are holding on to, so give yourself time to sit with this question.
