treehouse, this is so great to hear and I am so happy for you!
I have experienced the same thing. the general anxiety and panic over everything just got better..as my outlook has gradually moved away from thinking that the world is dangerous, that others are purposely hurtful. It is almost like a very broad-reaching grounding, and now I am able to better see what is and stay in the moment without taking the experience and moment somewhere else or bringing something into the experience and moment from someplace else.
