It’s been decades since I’ve had a panic attack—but there I was, deep inside Egypt’s Great Pyramid, with my heart racing and the walls spinning.
We’d just climbed a narrow passageway to the King’s Chamber. My breath was short, the air was still, and I felt my nervous system slip into survival mode.
Despite all my grounding tools—breath-work, movement, hugs—my body was overwhelmed. I quietly told our guides, “I’m panicking.” They met me with calm eyes, grounded presence, and gentle reminders to breathe.
After a few moments, I began to return to myself. Then I bumped my head against the stone wall, and—snap—I was right back in my body.
Inside the King’s Chamber, the air was hot and heavy. My fear rose again. I laid down on the sandy floor, hands on my belly, trying to find safety within. Around me, others chanted softly—a sound bath of human voices echoing through ancient stone.
I’m a grown woman. No one is keeping me here. I can choose to leave.
That realization shifted everything. When I remembered my agency, my fear dissolved. I could breathe again. I could think clearly.
Because here’s the truth: when we forget we have choice, we’re operating from survival. When we restore safety, choice becomes visible again.
That’s the whole practice—whether we’re navigating business, relationships, or travel inside ancient pyramids.
Then pleasure.
“No one gets to sit on the pyramids like this. It’s a privilege. Enjoy it.”
And so we did—laughing, sharing stories, and soaking in the moment.
