Someone Feels Like I Do

This is from a Buddhist newsletter my friend PTGal receives, and she passed it along.
After reading and learning about the present moment, my life has slowed down a lot. I think I have been looking for a way to get back into my body, and always looked for the answers outside of me. My body always tells the truth. There is more time in my day now for meditation and breathing. There seems to be a big open space inside of me now, and my temptation is to fill that space with doing or feeling or anything, because the big open space is a little scary.
This is the most connected I have ever felt to absolutely everything. At any given moment in time, I can feel connected to anyone or anything, but not obsessed with these people, things or situations. I have noticed that I am a much better listener. In that big open space, I am more connected to all of the things I was obsessed with, but there is no more panic in my relationship with those things or situations. I still from time to time, have anxious feelings but now I use the anxiety as a reminder for me to come back into my body and be present. What a positive difference today!
