Insightful Inspirations

Okay, we have all heard the phrase “There is nothing to fear by fear itself.” But doesn’t it seem like a life long process to get past our fears. It starts when we are babies and continues through our life, dictating our actions and keeping us stuck in the search for peace from it. If you think you are fearless, please share in the comments, I would love to hear your story.

Of course, the path I have chosen I am always healing, clearing, allowing, embracing, etc. All of that new agey stuff. But what most blocks in our ability to manifest boils down to is fear. Fear of something… maybe not always obvious, that is keeping us from having what we think we want. For some reason we fear having it. For example, most of us would love an abundance of money, so why don’t we all have the abundance of money? Some people fear having money means people will only like them for this side of themselves and want to be loved authentically. Other people fear that having money means you stole it from someone else in some underhanded way. Even more people don’t believe they deserve large amounts of money because no one around them seems to have it. Either way… this is all fear. Fear, keeping you for allowing something into your life.

The reason I am blogging about this topic is because I get gentle reminders from the universe all the time on things that I think I have let go of the fear of. One of my fears (based on a past-life) is around taking medication. It could be herbs even. I have a serious aversion to it and even feel like I am dying for the first few days I start something new. I know this about myself, so I don’t run around like a crazy person claiming I am dying, but I sure have to work on releasing it and allowing it to go through me. I took a short cut on my healing with a sinus/ear thing I had going on and went on antibiotics. I choose to fulfill my obligations to family and life rather than honor my body’s wish to lay in bed and clear myself for a week or so. Ironically enough, I am teaching a class on this in a couple of weeks call Creating Mind Body Unity where we will talk about these choices further.

I mustered up the courage to take these pills, despite reading all of the horrible, possible side effects. I had conquered this fear! So far, six days in, I am okay. However, I ran into a mom at my kids school who tells me about her husband being very sick (he is better now) with drug induced hepatitis and having to have his gallbladder removed. She tells me the story and then of course I have to ask, “what medication was he on”. EEK! It OF COURSE was the same drug I am taking and she then tells me the horror stories about this drug. This poked at the deep seated fear inside of me so hard I couldn’t concentrate!  This showed me I clearly hadn’t processed all of the fear within me yet. If I had, I wouldn’t have hardly noticed this conversation. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t even have had it, as the universe always brings me what I need to hear. So back to the awareness board on this one.

Insightful Inspiration for the week

What are you afraid of, little or big? How is it limiting your life? It may even been the fear of success or having money as we discussed above. It might be fear of having a good relationship. 

Take a moment to think one of your fears through. Journal about it or meditate on it. What is the fear? How long have you had it? Can you trace it back to a past experience that happened (that isn’t happening now by the way)? What is the worst thing that could happen if your fear manifested? (we often do manifest our fears just to face them head on) What is the best thing that could happen if your fear manifested? Give yourself permission to notice this fear this week. Not with the intention of letting go of it, but just to be aware of how much it is involved in your daily life. Just by observing it, you can change your relationship to it.

Share your stories. You might help someone else change their life!

Have a mindful week!
