Why do you curl up in a ball when afraid or in despair?  You call it the fetal position.  You are returning to a state when you felt safe and protected, for you had no story.  Only with the story comes psychological fear and pain.  Before the story, you knew yourself as Love, as one with that Love.  Nothing has changed, dear one, except you took on layers and layers of beliefs and experiences and knit them into a story.  And then you took that story and said to the world, “This is me,” when the real you has always been there without a name or story.  You connect with the real you through remembrance when curled up like a baby.  Do so if this helps you to reconnect, but know what every cell of your being already knows:  beyond the story and its resultant fears and insecurities, you always were and always will be Love.
