I've been swimming around in the fear.... feeling it. Talking to and looking at and trying on blood pressure cuff all week. Bought a wrist blood pressure monitor.
Haven't taken it yet but I want to.
And Misha said what I know. It IS what it IS... knowing about it is just that... more information. So I know it's time to become aquainted... become curious... and like Ram Dass said... the body is just doing what it's made for... it will decay... it is just a vessel... so I want to support it and know about it and need to stop fearing it.
I volunteered at hospice a few years ago to try to address my fear of death. It showed me how beautiful it was. But there are more layers to be peeled back... especially my fear of my own decay or dis-ease or death. It is what it is. Look at it. Don't be afraid. Fear is a consciousness trap.

I'm so proud of you sweet girl!
I took it 3x so far. I had it on wrong the first time so the systolic was super high 169 or something. The diastolic has been about 90 all three times. I will try the arm cuff soon too. Thank you God for your support as I feel into this.
