guilts, shames, embarrassments, angers.

Release each fear - your fears about your health,
your family, your job, and every other fear.

You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,
are neither your mind nor your body.

Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.
