This is necessary for the transformation of consciousness in the physical body. In flowing into these feelings, sometimes memories surface that feel violent. They have so much pain associated with them that the programmed instinctual reflex is to do everything to avoid feeling them. This is a true panic attack. Everyone has experienced panic and these feelings are surfacing now to be healed.
Emotions heal through flowing.
Use eye movement to relive the tragic event, if you can remember it. Relive the memory over and over until all the feelings associated with it have time to flow. If you cannot remember anything, but just have the feelings, flow with them using eye movement and deep breathing. These are times when overwhelming feelings are coming up to be healed. Deep rythmic breathing is the foundation of holotropic breath work.
