Fear and the Udana Vayu

Be Less Timid When Expressing Yourself


The udan vayu governs the energy which travels up and out of our bodies and is concentrated in the throat.

This class focuses on the examination of the fear of social interactions. Our relationships are ruled by our communications with others. We are intensely social animals, needing a partner to procreate and feeling lonely when we don't have regular intimate contact with another human.

So, consider society. Consider how you feel about your place in it. Are you nervous when meeting new people? When going into unfamiliar social settings? Or maybe your confidence abounds when encountering strangers and it's when you are moving deeper into a relationship that you begin to feel worried and start to clam up. Intimacy can be awkward and nerve wracking. So maybe you express yourself to people you know you'll never have to see again.

Putting yourself out there honestly leaves you vulnerable and if you've gotten punched enough times without being prepared, I understand why you can't unclench anymore.

But lets try.
