Zig what you are saying reminds me of something I read (I can't remember where, maybe it was here . . . my head is so full of stuff I can't remember where I saw what anymore) - the analogy that we cling so tightly to our M, to the rope - that when we let go, our hand is cramped from holding on so tightly. It is uncomfortable, but, eventually, the tension is released, the discomfort subsides, and we are able to regain our hand's ability again. I think what you are feeling is normal - it is moving to another stage, another growth spurt, and yes that causes the release of some built up emotions.

You are excellent right where you are. If you feel a bit dizzy, just have a seat on the blanket for a little bit. You are in the middle of some deep stuff right now.
