What could you achieve if you transformed fear?

Fear is definitely one of the most challenging emotions. It can stop you in your tracks and bring you to a halt. Unfortunately it is often what holds us back from living to our potential and really linking to our true self. I am determined to keep transforming my experience of fear. 

Fear can be generated from a matrix of different aspects. The mind, body, spirit and emotions can together each play a role. Perhaps we arrive on the planet with a predisposition to fear, carried down through the generations from our ancestors. Energy healing comes in many varieties and can support you to break these ties. A predisposition to fear may then be triggered by a series of events throughout our lives, encouraging the emotion to become predominant in our psyche. 

Fear has a very big impact on our system and can trigger off fight or flight responses in the body, which over time can become automatic. Leaving you feeling a little trapped. Fear can be transformed and there is not a one size fits all approach but you can turn it into a positive.

Firstly, you can identify where you feel the fear physically in the body. Locating the actual sensation rather than the thoughts around it. This starts to bring it into awareness in a purer and less complicated way. Using meditation, the breath and visualisation you can ease and soothe the physical experience, which in turn reminds the nervous system to rest.

The root chakra is associated with fear, located at the base of the spine. This chakra can become imbalanced if our feelings of safety are not met in some way. Grounding in nature and forest bathing will enhance the balance of the root chakra. Also using mantra and affirmation, for example 'I am connected to all and everything'. Often when the root chakra is out of balance we can feel disconnected and a little lost. Meditation will also help to clear any blocks in this area, along with energy healing, music and dance. Bringing that sense of connection to the earth.

Thoughts can play a huge role in the experience of fear. Core beliefs can result in us feeling a certain way about ourselves. We develop a certain archetype and play out that identity. Transforming beliefs can be very liberating. Looking at the core belief, challenging it and noticing how it impacts your behaviour and identity. Then bringing a new perspective, tipping it upside down to become a strength rather than a limitation. All of our shadow aspects hold the potential to be integrated into our awareness and become our most beautiful assets. This is one of the things that I really love helping people with.

What could you achieve if you transformed your fear? Our inner landscape reflects in our outer experience.

Moving through the story - Ceremony and fire

We all get a little stuck sometimes, and more often than not its because we are holding on to a story about ourselves. This back drop that we hold in our awareness can cause us all kinds of discomfort or keep us trapped.  Fear is the number one problem in many cases. Built up through our experiences and beliefs. We can become accustomed to viewing the world in a certain way because events previously confirmed our worst fears. The hippocampus is understood to be involved in our personal manifestation of reality (Faw & Faw 2017). The beliefs and thoughts that we hold interact with our experience and ongoing interactions with the world. Stress interferes with the hippocampus.  Our ability to allow stressful feelings to be experienced and let go of is essential to wellbeing. When we block or hold feelings they can become trapped emotions. Toxic emotions and long held memories have been recognised to be held in the limbic system. The center of conscious and unconscious functioning. My

Lets talk about grief

 I wouldn't profess to being an expert in grief, or in fact anything actually : ) but we are all experts of our own experience. Working with grief is something that I have come to know quite personally due to my father dying when I was 9 years old. This year has been one that has held a thread of grief for most people in some way. Whether it has been the loss of what was considered a normal life, a friend or relative, a job loss or loss of certain freedoms. Grief has been quite present for most of us. I experienced a cascade of grief in May, the loss seeped into every area of my life and was very overwhelming. The last few months have reminded me of the stages that we go through regarding loss and the powerful ways that we can support the process. One of the aspects of grief is the physicality of it. Often like a rising feeling in the heart and chest, and culminating in the throat, the physical feelings can be quite strong. If we can attend to the physical feelings its very helpful
