To further the discussion from last week regarding emotions and stories, I had a morning recently when fear was loud, and I knew I needed to change the frequency before it spiraled out of control.
I started by acknowledging it and saying, “Hey fear, I hear you, I feel you, and I'm not going down that road.” I could still hear it, so I then gently added, “Stop it.” I took some deep breaths, grounded myself to the center of the planet, then imagined dropping the fear out of my body and aura. I imagined the heaviness of that emotion, like a lead weight, dropping deep into the ground to be transmuted. I kept dropping it until I felt lighter. Simultaneously, I chose not to engage the story it was trying to tell. That’s the mental spin and the opposite, the healing, is full presence and connection to earth energy. I ran slow, calming, brown earth energy through my body. (previous blog) As that was soothing my body, I took my power back from fear. (previous blog) I then asked myself, “What do I choose to experience instead?” Depending on the fear, you’ll know what you need. It could be a sense of having or being enough, safety, radiant health, peace etc. I created a simple statement to augment what I chose in place of the fear and kept repeating the new statement. For example: “I am safe.” “My body is now healing beautifully.” “There is always enough money (or time).” “Everything is now falling into place easily and elegantly.” “I am safe, even when facing the unknown.” I kept breathing out any remaining fear, while grounding in present time and stating my name, the date, and the time. I also tapped around my left ear to re-set my brain and nervous system (video reminder here). Once the fear released and I felt calm, I acknowledged that present and future me is in charge, not fear. So again, using the power of choice, I asked, “What am I choosing to draw to me?” I got a vision of the future I wanted in place of the fearful future. That could be an image of you as healthy, safe, or financially secure etc. Whatever issue fear was stirring up, see its exact opposite reality and imagine grabbing it from the future, and pulling it into the now. Then feel fully the feelings of peace, safety, health, enoughness, or happiness, and let what you desire be the only feelings you feel. I know sometimes fear feels bigger than you but it’s not. The more quickly you catch it as it’s building, the more you stop the production of stress hormones and re-wire your neural pathways to allow less of it in the future. Think of it as a train that you refuse to let leave the station. You have the power to stop a fear spiral.
