That does sound plausible, I hope you’re able to work it out. Oddly enough I stopped taking the allergy meds and my nose stopped running as badly. Thanks a bunch for your response!

Hi Heather

Can you tell me: Where is your visual focus when you are lying on your tummy? You may need to go to class to work that out (so if you have to guess, don’t, just report back). When you feel the anxiety, what happens? Do you feel nauseous, is it reflected in heart and breathing rate, can you feel palpitations? When does it stop? As soon as you get up off the floor? I am sure rationally you know there is no danger, so what else could you tell me about your inner workings?

Namaste

Hi! Thanks so much for such a quick reply!

I try to find something within my relaxed line of sight to focus on even if it is a fiber in the carpet or something on the person in my line of sight.

I don’t feel nauseated it is definatly in my breathing and heart rate. I try to talk myself down, even saying to myself each time, “get through this one and sit up on the next if you have to”. It does stop within a minute of lifting up onto my shoulders or turning over onto my side.

I just feel like I’m so heavy and constricted into the floor that i feel like I’m not getting enough air. With that my inner voice gets obsessed. I try not to think of it but trying means im thinking and that starts a vicious cycle. I am over weight and have big boobs so the girls are all up around my face and throat. I do know I’m in no danger, I just can’t seem to convince my animal brain. ; )
