I was originally going to break my journal format to mention this, but felt it would be better served as a question to the forum.
30 minutes or so ago I suddenly developed a feeling in my chest kind of like a mix of heartburn, a panic attack, butterflies (like when I'm in love or something), and dread, and it hasn't gone away yet. I know it's not heartburn or acid reflux because I pretty much cured my acid reflux in 2010 or 2011 by eating only Braeburn apples for two of my three meals a day for almost 30 days straight. I'm fairly sure it's not a panic attack, as those come on super strong and this one is at a dull roar, though I wouldn't be surprised at all if I am indeed experiencing some variation of panic attack. I'm on day 30 of ASC, have been listening for 12 hours a day to the ultrasonic track exclusively, and was on about hour 7 or so for today when it started.
I mention it because I recall some AM and/or ASC journals here (maybe Benjamin's?) point out a similar feeling, and others going through the same program realizing they've felt it too. I'm worried about it; would someone here please help with at least a plausible explanation other than simply "resistance?" I know resistance is involved, assuming it's the same feeling the others experienced, but I want to know not the how (there's resistance) but the why (WHY is there resistance); why does this resistance feel like dread, what am I dreading exactly, and why am I dreading it like this now instead of before or later?
