Fear is a chain reaction in the brain that starts with a stressful stimulus and ends with the release of chemicals that cause a racing heart, fast breathing and energized muscles, among other things, also known as the fight-or-flight response. The stimulus could be a spider, a knife at your throat, an auditorium full of people waiting for you to speak or the sudden thud of your front door against the door frame.
?????♀??????♀?So how we are going to handle or manage it...
When fear arises, name it softly and experience what it does to your breath, to your body and how it affects the your heart ….
Notice the sensation and the thoughts that accompany it, the kind of scary stories it tells..When we try to work with the fearful mind, we will initially get afraid though at some point, if we are going to open our heart to the fearful mind and if we are going to name it in a very gentle manner, and trying experiencing its energy as it moves through us, the whole sense of fear will shift and eventually become recognition…and you can say “oh fear here you are again..I know you…how interesting that you have come”, treat your fear in a very friendly manner.
Practicing mindfulness meditation with patience and courage, we can gradually learn how to feel flood of strong emotions like fear , grief, anger etc and allow them slowly release with mindfulness and compassion.
????Befriending fear becomes a gateway to freedom, an invitation to live more freely…
