Yesterday, I went on a longish trip in the car and twice was forced to make a real hard emergency stop as other drivers were behaving badly.
On each occasion, and as soon as the danger had cleared, I noticed that I said out aloud to my passenger, "Phew! Well that was only an energy - soften and flow!", taking in turns to take my hands off the steering wheel and shake out energy that got stuck mostly in my chest but also in my shoulders and arms.
Which led both times to me immediately settling back down to the business of the day, as well as the business of driving, as though nothing had happened at all.
And I thought, wow. One drive. One day. Two things that DIDN'T get stuck in my energy system. Two things that DIDN'T then conspire to make me nervous, unhappy, interfere with my attention to the reason for the expedition, or made me un-relaxed and tense whilst driving the rest of the way.
Now factor that over - 20 years, 30 years, more?
That must do *some* good, somewhere, to be able to shake off stress as quickly and profoundly as that.
