Yesterday I posted a question to her via the Shambhala SunSpace Blog. I asked her to talk more on groundlessness and how it relates to fear. Today she posted a response that I felt was very perceptive. She noted that my state of mind had a guarded quality and suggested I relax that "slightly".  Her response can be read in its entirety. I found it amazing that based on my question she picked up on my urgency and anxiety regarding the terror I often feel. It came to me that being raised by an alcoholic could have a little to do with that mind set. The way she said guarded is something I can work with in my daily awarenesses. In fact perhaps we can talk about it tomorrow in therapy.
