Freeing myself from Anxiety - ARA 5.5G Journal

[racktree]

I had some bold struggle with ARA where my subconscious was terrified of running it. I asked Shannon about it:

Hi Shannon,

I have been on ARA for the last 10 days. All was well until Day 8 (two days ago). In the night, the dream I had... better described as nightmare was really intense and I was feeling really bad all day. As I was getting closer and closer to sleep again and do my 3 loops of ARA I was getting more and more terrified and feeling something that I cannot describe. The physical feeling was that I might have a panic attack episode or something like that.

I decided to not run ARA last night and I am still thinking to not as well today and maybe do a 3-day break before I use it again.

I would love your insights and any tips like lowering the loops to 2 or running it once every 2 days or so. I understand it is the healing aspect but what happened was very very intense for me. I cannot tolerate it.

Thanks in advance.

You are dealing with a situation in which your subconscious is afraid and ARA is disrupting its fears. For some reason, this appears to be making your subconscious afraid of ARA. Perhaps you are suffering, consciously or subconsciously, from the false belief that "my fears keep me safe".

I suggest that you try this.

Take a few days off. Then run it for one night. Then take two days off, and run it for one night. Then take one night off, and run it for one night, and then try running it every night as instructed originally again. If this happens again, repeat the process. Eventually, it should stop.

Last night I restarted according to Shannon's instructions (run ARA again) and I will keep you guys posted.
