Sober October-Day 6: Pratyahara

When I am overcome by the feelings I want to escape my body, my thoughts, when I listen and observe I am looking within with all my senses so that I can connect to and learn from my true Self who waits to shine through from under the hurt, anger, sadness, fear etc...
