FEAR.....FEAR....FEAR.....HOW TO GET RID OF IT!!!!!

Sallaamaatt All

Fear is a primal feeling that arises within us when our physical
survival is threatened. It is a feeling that is designed to move us to "fight
or flight" in order to support our survival. It has played a large part
in the survival of the species.

But as we became more sophisticated and moved more and more into the
mind and its world of thought and emotion, fear entered inappropriately
into that world. The fight or flight response started to occur whenever
we felt emotionally threatened. If someone criticizes, insults or
rejects us, the ego mistakes that for a threat to our survival and we go
into a flight or fight response, but that response has become disguised
and distorted in so many ways that we are unaware of it. It also often
occurs at an unconscious level.

Fear also comes into play around future imaginings. It is possible to
create intense fear by imagining what might happen in the future. The
more present you are, the less fear will arise in your life, because you
are only responding to what is actually happening now.

If in the moment, your physical survival is at risk, you will not think
about it. You will not become incapacitated with fear. You will simply
respond with fight or flight. And it is quite rare that this situation
will arise in your life.

There is another kind of fear. When people are unwilling to feel their feelings fully, whether those feelings are of hurt, anger or rage, they disconnect from themselves and this creates a kind of fear within them. It often manifests as anxiety or panic. When they allow themselves to feel the feelings fully, the fear or anxiety disappears.

So what are you to do about fear? The obvious answer is to be more
present in your life and fear will rarely arise. Also, be sure to be honest
and authentic and feel your feelings fully and express your feelings
responsibility and fear will not be an issue for you.
