Hello and best wishes to all in 2013,
Brief background before getting into the "problem". My main fears are centered around social situations, assertiveness and intimacy. I work on myself several years using various tools including meditation, breathwork and yoga. I would say i made some but no real progress.
From time to time i tend to become overwhelmed by what is, i believe, one of my "core issues". That is feeling of loneliness, despair, entrapment, isolation and hopelessness. I feel it fairly rare and almost never during my sessions. I tend to get in touch with it mostly in the middle of night when i awake with it and mostly it is connected with some kind of separation i am going trough in that period (i travel a lot, and am away from my family and friends most of the time).
Please give me some suggestions/guidelines in how to work with it. I believe, like you stated in your wonderful book, that getting in touch with core feelings is a sign of progress and that is opportunity for transformation. The thing is that this issues arise very rarely so should i do my work regularly waiting core feelings to arise (i worked years and they were very seldom) or should i pursue them more actively?
Many thanks,
Alex
