Big “F” Fear

My post today is about Fear. Yes, the “Big-F” kind. How do people deal with it?

I can tell you how I’ve learned to deal w/it, and hopefully you’ll see or hear something that will stay with you long enough to try it out for yourself, or research further.

Fear. Whether it’s karmic, ancestral, subconscious trauma from childhood, it’s nasty stuff.

I’ve worked on healing fear for a good chunk of my life, having grown up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional childhood. I’ve gone through times in which I was not able to sleep. I had terrible and grisly visions, and felt doomed. My body’s muscles were consistently clenched, and I’m sure I experienced adrenaline fatigue as well.

During the worst times, I knew enough to implore to a Higher Source. I’ve been lucky enough to be cognizant of this huge energetic and spiritual resource for quite some time now, and even though I didn’t exactly know all of the ins and outs of it, I knew that it was Energy to/for/of/in/with the Highest Good for All, Most Benevolent Outcome for All. So I grounded/surrounded everything in it—the situation, my fear, my body, my life—and gave it to this Energy that I call God / Universal Energy, which is Divine Love.

I went through a particularly bad time a few years ago, one in which I thing I was battling ancestral and karmic wounds. I felt as though I could at anytime be targeted and attacked, and this fear would threaten me in the middle of the night. I lay awake, desperate to feel relief.

And wouldn't you know it, a mockingbird showed up and kept me company during my darkest hours. I somehow felt so supported by this bird outside my window, who sang it’s heart out to the world. It was there night after night, helping me through the toughest bits.

Along with this bird and other supportive signs and symbols, I worked on envisioning myself and the fear to be surrounded and filled with light, and prayed. I did this AS LONG AS IT TOOK for me to relax. If I was up the whole night long, so be it. I was stubborn and persistent in what I did to deal with and help heal the fear.

Most of all, have patience. It took at least 6 months of diligent focus for me to have a lasting breakthrough. But remember—any work you do is better than nothing. You’re ALWAYS better off for having done something to shift yourself to a more neutral or higher state. Also remember to utilize all kinds of resources: EFT, meditation, solfeggio frequencies, herb/flower essences, affirmations, water, etc.

Give it to God / Universal Energy / Source / Spirit – the Divine Love Energy that goes by many names – and your ethereal team of angelic guides and guardians (including loved ones who have passed on) to have and to hold, help and heal in the ways only they can.

Breathe, and remember to say, “Thank you” in all ways, always.
