Do you have fear in your life? I would be safe to say we all do. Remember the bumper-stickers from a few years back that said “No Fear”? I always wanted to write below them “No Courage”. You can’t have courage without fear because courage involves doing what you know you should do in spite of the fear.

Fear was very useful many thousands of years ago. Back then it told you to run from that wild animal, it told you that your neighbor tribe was to be avoided, it kept you alive. We don’t usually have the same type of life and death issues as we did back then (I know some people do have these survival issues but the majority of us don’t) but we still have the overriding fear mechanism in place “to keep us safe”! Safe from what??? Ourselves?

Fear can be an overpowering emotion. It can keep you from doing what you want in life. It can keep you from doing what you need to in your life. You have to let go of the fear so it doesn’t become master of your life. That is often easier said than done. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is very useful in helping to release the fear but what happens when you keep grabbing it back? Sometimes new issues keep presenting themselves which reenacts the fear in your life. You can keep doing the EFT and it will keep working. Many may think the EFT is not working when the fear keeps coming back. Let me assure you that the EFT is working but it is new issues that keep popping up to be dealt with. When you are in the middle of fearful situations you will have to apply the EFT many times a day.

There is another way out of the continual fear. This involves trust. Sometimes we just have to trust ourselves, trust the future and trust something greater than our physical beings. It is in that trust you can begin to let go of the fear. You can see new hope and possibility. That is what I did late one night several weeks ago. I reviewed all the fear I have had in my life since an early age. I reviewed the fear I have had in the past lives I know about. Then I decided enough was enough and I did not need the fear anymore. I then experienced a calm come over me. That calm has stayed with me ever since.

Let me know how you have dealt with fear in your life.
