Fear is a parasite. It robs you of all of your power, making you its slave.
If fear were visible, it would look like a blood-sucking worm that attaches to the inside of your stomach and takes the nourishment meant for your body.
Fear robs you of your total sense of self. When you are afraid, you truly aren’t yourself. Perhaps you don’t know fully who you are, but when you look in the mirror and see this fearful person, there is a part of you that hates who gazes back.
Fear robs you of energy.
Fear robs you of sleep.
Fear is exhausting.
Fear makes you its puppet on a string, controlling your actions and your thoughts.
Fear causes you to say and do things that you hate but you feel powerless, powerless to change.
Are we powerless? Can we detach fear from our lives?????
Fear is a necessary part of our lives, and it offers us an opportunity to be courageous. Without the balance of fear, courage has no meaning.
Courage is action in the face of fear. Courage/fear puts you in that place where you can choose what you will be: courageous or fearful. These critical life elements are the epitome of free will. We can choose.
Fear can be a parasite, but it doesn’t have to be.
Fear can rob you of sleep, control and your sense of self, but it doesn’t have to do that.
Fear can teach you how to be courageous if you are willing to learn.
When you have learned the lesson(s) that fear is here to teach, then fear can simply leave you. When you don’t need the lesson anymore, it ceases because the karma of the experience is exhausted.
This, of course, begs the question of learning how to remove fear or at the least, keeping the natural elements of fear in balance. The natural elements of fear include the simple things like looking before you cross the street, washing your hands before you eat or when you leave a dirty place. Fear reminds you to lock your car doors and your house when you go to bed or when you leave your home. Fear cautions you not to go to certain places or do certain things because they are inherently dangerous. Fear, in balance is a good companion, an important friend. Fear, when approached correctly can be that still small voice in your head that blessedly guides you out of harm’s way.
Fear becomes a parasite when it is allowed to completely overtake your life, when you wake up and go to sleep with fearful thoughts in your head. It’s almost as if you become possessed by someone or something else and you cannot get the doo loop of obsessing, fearful thoughts out of your consciousness. Literally, you become a prisoner of your own fear.
Part Two will Discuss healing this level of fear!
Healing this level of fear is a multi-stage process. One of the subtle elements of this is that every single time fear zaps your mind, a tiny squirt of adrenaline is released. So imagine that throughout your day, you are getting a steady stream of adrenaline. When is that ever washed out of your system? Physically, your body becomes profoundly acidic. An acidic body is ripe for illness. An acidic body is one with a lower vibration, a lower frequency. The higher your frequency, the better your health and the more alkaline your body will be. It takes work to shift this.
1. The first step is to use Bach Flower’s Rescue Remedy every single time that fearful thought enters your head. Throughout the day, drink water with Noni juice in it. Noni is a blood cleanser and will pull that adrenaline buildup out of your body so you can begin to think clearly. You can’t break the cycle if you can’t stop the adrenaline from slowly poisoning you. It is almost impossible to sleep if you are full of adrenaline so this first step is critical.
2. The second step is to own your fear. Look at the worst that can happen and then decide to work through what if this really happened. Go through every single step. Write it down. Give your fear form and structure with pen and paper.
3. Now completely feel the emotion of the potential reality of what if this really happened. How would you feel? Allow yourself to cry. Grieve it. See what it could potentially feel like.
4. In this step, you can look at what you have written and analyze what you can change. You cannot change anyone else, you can only change yourself, so look at what in the entire scenario you can actually change. Evaluate if the dire outcome you so profoundly feel could just possibly have a different outcome. What if what you see written, could be different? Can it be changed?
a. If you are fearful for a military member overseas, then realize that there is very little you can physically offer that person. That is a reality. What you can offer him or her, is your positive thoughts, your profound love and your dedicated prayer for their safety. This is prayer said in courage, not in fear. This means that you are creating another reality, one where you see your loved one get off the plane, swoop you up and smile back at your astonished face. Create this positive reality.
b. If you are fearful of a problem or a person in your life, look at how you can change the situation. Get outside advice if you have to see a different path. Take charge of your life. Change yourself.
c. Fear for children, how they will turn out, who will care for them if they are mentally disabled or how will a child manage without you if the situation occurred can be handled with logic and planning. These do not have to be fearful thoughts.
The point in all of the processes above, is to own your fear, take back our power and unleash your courage on yourself and your situation. No one can do this but you and when you do it, when you take it all the way through and begin to turn that emotional corner, you will experience emotional freedom. All freedom is usually hard won and that is exceptionally true of freeing yourself from fear. Do well. You have what it takes to walk the path of true courage and kick that fear parasite out!
