Yesterday I felt, again, into the trap of using my little regained energy and pushing through things without noticing my body. At the end of the day, I felt so hyper when I tried to sit down and get in touch with my body. I felt like fleeing and looking for distractions as the sensations were so uncomfortable. Tightness in the chest, throat, heart area. Having a history of physical and emotional abuse, I noticed that is how I usually go through every single day. Any recommendations to work with that?”

“My question is about following your impulse. I totally understand the idea behind it, but I also know that in meditation, like Vipassana for instance, it is being said to sit and let the sensations come up and dissolve, instead of acting on them. For instance, an urge to move your leg, that will finally go away. I know you practice Vipassana as well, so how do you relate to this? What to do in a Vipassana retreat, follow my impulse or not?
