I resolved it like this: instead of trying to overpower it physically, I decided to explore it. I climbed in the tub and mentally walked through each scary scenario, asking, "If this happens, could I handle it?"
I did it with feeling as well as with thinking, and each time, the answer was," Yeah, you could handle this." Within twenty minutes, I was asleep.
I got in enough sleep to function today, since I didn't have to come in early. I'll stay late anyway, so it's not a problem.
Actually, I stumbled on some big insights this morning as I was texting Kelly, and today, I feel as though I really can handle this.
I also figured out that part of the problem is that my solar plexus is also opening up, enabling a deep connection between the second chakra and the heart chakra. While this is not a bad thing----it's a good thing, all Venus-approved---it will make me a little unsteady for awhile. But it's OK. I can deal.
