One of the most distressing emotions that people have is fear, be it real or imagined. The fear could be related to starting a new job, giving a public talk, doing something new and challenging, or even taking a test. Fear clouds a person's judgment and can stop you in your tracks.
Imagine that the thing you are fearful of is actually a wonderful experience to let go and grow. You may be wondering how do I do this?
Try this spiritual technique which works to clear the fear so that the precious guidance from Holy Spirit can come in, bringing clarity, peace and guidance. I call it the Fear Room Technique.
Imagine you're in a room with 5 windows with the shades pulled down. When you walk in the room, you see that on the walls are all of your fears, limiting beliefs and/or negative thoughts. You have an eraser in your hand and you go back and forth removing all of the fears, limiting beliefs and negative thoughts from the walls. To be extra thorough, you then take a hose and going back and forth, you wash the walls, even the ceiling and the floors. To be sure that no fears, limiting beliefs and/or negative thoughts are in the crevices, you use a laser beam and go up and down the corners or wherever you feel a thought may still be. As a final step, you walk around the room pulling the shades up bringing light into the room. Look around the room - feel the positive energy.
Here are two more techniques I'd like to suggest:
Imagine that your fear is here to teach you something. Ask what is its purpose? Is it to help you grow or keep you stuck where you are? Is the fear keeping you from being the best you can be? Pay attention to your feelings, your thoughts.
Place your fear(s) in a basket and give it to your spiritual master and have a farewell party for it!
I look forward to hearing how these exercises made or makes a difference in your life.
