Automatic writing provides a wonderful window for viewing and processing beliefs held in the subconscious part of our minds. It allows us to bypass our conscious narrow view of the world and our beliefs about our place within it. The following paragraphs give you a glimpse of how I have used this technique to Release my Fear.
It was September 11, 2001 and I had just found out that the World Trade Centers had been destroyed. Though no longer living within view of the towers, my family still lived close and I had spent many hours within the towers, working as a Chase Manhattan Bank Teller during summers while in college.
The news shook me to the core. Though not on the front lines, within hours I sunk into a state of almost constant fear. I hid when I heard a car backfire. I feared that my water was poisoned and I was constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for the next bomb to drop.
And then I took up paper and pen and I began to write. I wrote and wrote without censor and without stopping. I turned off the television and I wrote some more. I went to work and in spare moments I wrote. I took care of my two babies and I wrote.
In a period of about 36 hours I filled two notebooks. I did not censor and I did not reread. I just poured it onto the paper. My fears, my hopes, my thoughts and my feelings. Sometimes I wrote fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes the words were so big they covered three lines and at other times they were so small they were hard to see.
And then, almost without warning, it was done. I had gotten it all out and it was gone. Not only was the fear gone, it was replaced with the most splendid sense of peace and connection. I knew, and I knew that I knew, that all was well and that we were all safe and somehow connected. For about three days I floated through my day, loving life and everyone I met. I could see the Divine in everyone and everything and it was wonderful.
Slowly the euphoria left, but the inner knowing that life is not at all what it seems has not. I have never since that day fallen into a fear state that comes close to what I experienced for those few hours after the Trade Centers went down. And the experience of connection and peace that follows has been enough to keep me motivated and driven to learn how to step into that state at will, and to teach others how to do the same.
So, the next time fear strikes, pick up the pen and write it away. You will be glad you did.

FEAR. That is a very odd subject indeed.
What is fear, the perception of doom and dismay, future events gone (well there is no basis in the future so there is no point in going there)or the pucker syndrome (we can figure out that one).
Well, fear IS real, fear is scary as ______ (fill in the blank). Everyone has it at some time or another.
There is no REASON to be ashamed or afraid. It’s you at the base level. Your primordial fight or flight, your adrenalin surge to both make you Super Human and safe (so you hope)but sometimes it appears that you are just not thinking and sometimes you are.
Fear needs to be addressed on a personal level and with practice the answer as to why you have fear will be revealed in a very logical fashion. Thus defeating the creepy although sometimes it may never go entirely. This just reminds you that you are indeed a human being in all your awesomeness.
Just ask yourself (since it is you after all). Why am I afraid? Chances are you will find that it is not as scary as you once thought.
Be warned though some stuff still scares the ______ out of me but in a fun way since I know me! Unless of course there is someone chasing me with an axe. ICK!
May the Universe smile upon you and your loved ones from this day forward!
And you see saying I love you to strangers was at one time scary to me.
I love you!

The way I deal with fear is simply by thinking about what the worse situation could be under the circumstance ( I could be maimed, I could be raped, I could be murdered) and to do it anyway, because I absolutely trust that whatever happens to me is for my highest good Spiritually…
I am an unmarried woman, now 50 years old. I was born on the small island of Mauritius where there are just over one million inhabitants. I have sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for 67 days without seing land with two men I did not know, at the age of 35 years old; lived in Tobago and Trinidad for one year with $300 in my pocket on arrival; I have hiked, for many days at a time, around the Natal District in South Africa at its most violent time…
I have now been in South Korea for the past 13 months, deepening my experience of Meditation with the SUSEONJAE Organisation and through DANJEON BREATHING. That is breathing through One’s Exact Center, which all humans do when still babies, but forget…
I Trust that I am on my Path to Ultimate Enlightenment.
My most ardent desire is to assist others to connect with themselves in the same way; so that they may also know with Absoluteness that at their Core, at their very Center, they are One with the Universe itself…
I awaken daily with Thanks-giving for ALL the things that have been and is, in my life, which continually Grow me to become more and more that which I AM in Truth, in Love, in Wisdom and in Beauty.
For me I become aware that fear is consuming me and then I start replacing my negative thoughts or fears with positive ones. I also then make a list of all the things that I am grateful for and meditate on that. Peace and tranquility seems to just enter my whole being and I know that everything will work itself out.
If you think about it, there are only 2 types of fear. Fear of the unknown and Fear of the known possibility.
Fear of the unknown.
Many of us have the habit of fearing the unknown e.g.dark areas, ghosts, unseen etc.We are gripped with fear about the unknown when we are alone. If you think about it, what is it that you are fearing?The worst that can happen is dying at the hands of the unseen?
The fear is basically encountering events that you cannot explain by the current knowledge we have and hence the fear of death at the hands of the unknown.Ironically we don’t realise that everyone has to die someday but that won’t stop us from enjoying life now! so why the need to fear the unknown ,if your karma is up, you are only going to say goodbye to the world earlier!So the thought you should have is enjoy life as it comes, take precautions but never fear!
Fear of the known possibility
We also tend to fear of the known possiblities e.g.being killed or maimed in an accident, fear of the bad examination results as student, fear of being poor and not able to help your family, fear of heights etc.The interesting thought about these fears is that if you know your fear before so why don’t you take precautions or be prepared in advance to avoid the negative results.You can overcome these fears by preparing yourself to accept the worst that can happen and working towards achieving the opposite of the negative results.
You are born with a gifted mind where the limits of achievement are in your control.If you think you are scared, then you will feel scared.If you think you are strong and fearless, then you will feel strong and fearless as well.Don’t let others tell you that you are weakling, poor achiever etc. as it can only be true if you accept that in your mind.
Best Regards
Hi everybody:
I’m really happy to have found this article and website. My Goodness, life in Brazil is very hard. My family was very, very poor. No access to good schools, university, but hard working on plantations. German immigrants and all others in Brazil have hard times. My parents and relatives worked till died exhausted. I was born in Lutheran Church. Start to search and today as journalist are very happy and found out alone what you teach…or part of it. Still lots to know. I do not fear nothing anymore, nor desease, nor poverty, nor hunger. I’ll will fight till the last moment and till conquer all I want. Everybody has to die anyway. It doesn’t mind. All fears learned and kept unconsciously because of religions and theories are nightmares. Corrupted governments, crisis…lies that benefit mafias, all must be expelled from our minds. We are part of the Universe, or are one with the elements. We are equal to highest and lowest, we can think and do what we want. But of course we are happy in the harmony with the sun, wind, cold, fire, blasts, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes. If a big tsunami overflows our continent…uau…that a big celebration. We are just all in one.
I really like this,
Faith is believing that what you cannot see will come to pass.
Fear is believing that what you cannot see will come to pass.
There are some great methods & techniques to be used, my favourites are EFT, & The Sedona Method, Anything which raises your vibration & allows you to become empowered, rather than disempowered. Stop watching, reading the news, newspapers, & all things with a Lower vibration that will feed the fear, real or otherwise. Feed the mind with positive articles, information & remind myself that how other people think things are is not how it really is for me. It’s all down to their limiting belief patterns.
Give thanks for all that is good, beautiful, & inspiring in life & more of the same will be attracted. Stop focusing on what I don’t want, & put my attention on how I would really like things to be.
face the fear and fear is gone
The way i fight back fear is realizing that nothing in the end is true. It is just what we think it is. Experience told me that in the end, most of the things we are afraid of, they just never happen.
If you realize that something wrong may happen, we have two choices. Face them and fix them or avoid them. If you decide to face them, fear will go away. Choice is always yours.
Great article,
But it’s how we react to fear – not fear itself – that makes the difference between success and failure.
We are ALL scared!
Can I let you into a deep dark secret that festers away in most people but is rarely spoken about? Most people secretly like fear. Why? Because fear and doubt is a very handy convenient excuse that we can use when we are not really doing what we want with our life.
How many times have we heard or have we said to ourselves ‘I can’t do that – I’m not good enough – I’m not talented enough – I don’t have time – It’s not for me – I’m not good looking enough- I’m too old – I’m too young…’
Fear can be a very useful tool that many use to convince themselves that NOT taking action – is indeed the correct path – because ‘somebody else could do it but not me..’
But there really can be joy in your inner world.
You feel good not because the world is right, but your world is right because you feel good.
Kindest

THE POWER OF PRAYER IS AWESOME, BUT I FIND IT WORKS BETTER TO SURRENDER WHATEVER IS WORRYING YOU TO GOD! IT’S LIKE IT TAKES THE BURDEN OFF YOUR SHOULDERS AND YOU FEEL SUCH A RELEASE THAT I HAVE ONLY FOUND THROUGH SURRENDERING TO GOD! GOD IS AN AWESOME FATHER!
fear, Fear,FEAR? what is fear? its just an emotion.to get rid of it we must understand physiology of fear its trigger and its core content.OUR body has database of information on- 1.consious level.2 at unconcious level.3.at asses to higher conciouness. Connection to this databasre lies in physical,nonphysical levels. To resolve fear in physical level we must know bodys fight o flight response.its under autonomic nervous system when activated suddenly it causes release of corticosteroids in general terms.it will inhibit arachidonic asid pathway that is pain pathway.Body will trigger neurochemical reactions. This may be produced by taking appropriate drugs.But easily achieved on physical nonphysical level by “aghor” meditation.Also by special “pranayama” breathing-techniques.EFT also helpful but takes longer to resolve fully.Best thing is to utilse fear energy for other better e-motion by converting energy at ethric level by “seed- mantra” meditation & “Aghor” visualisations. tantra technique of marma karma kriya is also helpful.
To me overcoming fear is recognising that a life worth living is one in which the owner accepts that there will always be challenges that scare us.
Sometimes, understanding that who I am right now was created by me and that I have the power to determine who I will be tomorrow scares the blood out of my veins!
So, to overcome this fear, I live a life that has some degree of conscious challenge at some time, so that those things that might have frightened me in the past are rendered powerless in the present.
And how do I do this? Well, I hike every weekend (or as many as I can)in some part of my beautiful island. I am with friends, I am close to nature and when I take on a hill climb or go down into the belly of a gully, if something makes me fearful during the rest of the week, I just think of how I conquered my hiking challenges and life challenges pale into insignificance.
Or, I will choose to do something the most difficult way so that I get the habit of understanding that life brings challenges. And when it does, I armed and waiting!
Fear is a mechanism that every living being must possess,..thanks to nature and God, to equip this thing to us so we can live in as safe as possible manner, because of our cautious propensity.
What kind of life without fear ? it will be horrible.
The important thing is our attitude toward that fear,..utilize it,use it for our benefit.
Everyone on some level creates their challenges in life. Every event is neutral and our reaction, which is a choice, to the event is what colors each event.
If we react with fear, we must remember that we have created it for some reason. Maybe it is a learning lesson and one that is to be overcome or understood in some point in time.
It is important to remember to detach and observe the event on some level. The best reminder is to detach from the outcome of the event and let it flow, as there is always something to learn from it. This
will give us the ability to move from the state of victim to survivor.
As we live on the stage of life, remember it is our dream so enjoy it.
Be happy, have fun and laugh, but be there for others as no man is an island.
I wish to thank the whole corporate body working together to liberate the minds and hearts of millions of people in this world.If fear is conquered liberty and freedom is not only realised but sustained;
I personally have always adopted the worst case scenario in every fear thoughts to quench it. And it works!
After reading carefully through all the 22 TOOLS I instantly have experienced an ever increasing BOLDNESS AND CONFIDENCE which eluded me in the past.
I hope I will always stay on top and enjoy the rest of my life in freedom.
AGAIN THANKS FOR THE GOOD JOB.

I have learned to live without fear (most of the time, anyway).
Life has dealt me with some bad cards that I have lived through and am much stronger as a result of working on my Self, and I must continue in my pursuit of happiness.
This is not bragging, but I deeply and sincerely KNOW that there is a power out there that has been holding me by the hand all the way to wherever I want to go. I have a strong belief in life in that whatever happens, happens for a reason and this reason is always told to us in either verbal language, a timing of a sort, an event, through a person, a telephone call or a thought that just comes out of thin air, or to go to some unexpected place and I take action to
get there ASAP, as if it is a MUST DO NOW thing.
I have extreme confidence in life; honestly, at one point my life, could not get any lower, it just had to get better…and it did, because as I sat sobbing my guts out to my higher power, I knew that at one point, all this would stop and I would see a rainbow. I would sit and pray out loud or in writing or in silence, repeating the same strong words, phrases or anything that would come to my mind and it would provide me with all the energy I needed to get through this period of pain, or fear or dissatisfaction. At the end, I would feel a relief that was renewing and felt as if I had gone on a long vacation.
Another thing, I mostly pass these times on my own since they are rightfully my doings and find it is my responsibility to deal with them on my own in conference with my higher power. In my personal opinion, talking it over with a friend, lover, or family member or a doctor does not do it. Everything that happens to me is my own doing and it must be my own undoing. Period.
If I need strength, I crash my mind with poems that I have read and memorized, repeat them over and over until a time comes when I feel peaceful and rejuvenated. I get a signal in my head that this is enough and it is time to stop, so I attempt to wind down; however, the repetitions still keep coming to my mind. The power I receive subsequent to this experience is beyond anyone’s imagination.
In the past, I used to tell others about these experiences but I do not share them now, because they are just too personal for anyone to actually grasp the scope of power that this generates, so I keep quiet (with the exception of now), because I believe that this is the right atmosphere in which to do so.
I am thinking of one particular prayer now – it goes like this:
“Light! Light!! Light!!! In!!! Action!!!
Blaze! Blaze!! Blaze!!!
In!! Through!!! And around!!! Me Now!!!
Protect Me!!! With Your Invisible Cloak!!!
Of a Server!!!
Make Me!! Your!! Magic!!!
To Which Is Drawn!!!
All The Good!! Things!!! That I Need!!!
To Fulfill!! Your Will!!! Through Me!!!
In My!! Present!!! Lifestream!!!
As Quickly!! As Possible!!!
In The Here!! And In The Now!!!
Light!! Light!!! Light!!! In!!! Action!!!
It is Done!! It is Done!!! It is Done!!!
Now, when repeated, this prayer lights the bulb in my brain so
brightly, I can actually see and feel it glow! Every word becomes
alive with action – and I am actually on the street, walking up
the hill…with nobody around me, of course, or they would really think I am out of my mind, yet, I am extremely sane and powerful
at that moment. I can repeat this for as long as I see fit.
I put strength in every word as I articulate perfectly because,
as I tell myself, I must be clear and visualize that this is in
fact true because indeed, it is.
I once stated this prayer over the telephone to a friend in the
U.S. (I am up in Canada), he said that my voice could make a
building collapse, it seemed that powerful at the time. I pray
in a true blue fashion and the response cannot but be in the
positive.
In the aftermath of such an execise, which can last for hours,
I feel so pure and energetic, I am flying high in the sky and
nobody can bring my strength down.
I also make up words that rhyme and sing a tune that I suddenly
make up and repeat over and over.
I had a challenge paying my bills due to health reasons; I came
up with a tune to match the following words:
“God is Prosperity!
He takes good care of me!
He pays my bills for me!
In their entirety!”
As I sing these words, I am dancing up a storm and twirling
away as my 2 cats, (Olga and Freedom) look on, they seem to
be smiling at me and I laugh back, pick them up and include
them in my song and dance.
I also do hours of a variety of affirmations and other prayers.
Now, with all these actions, how can my requests not be heard?
Things happen quickly and I claim, expect and accept them into
my life this very second as I speak. It is pure magic!
When I have had enough, my Mind informs me that it is time
to stop.
Life is a challenge every single day, and it is up to us to work
within ourselves; nobody can live our lives for us. As we take
care of our daily challenges, we must look at ourselves in the
mirror and review every facial line and affirm that if we do
nothing about our situation, 10 years from now, they will be
multiplied so it is imperative to take care of this in the Now.
It isn’t easy to do.
On my desk next to my computer I have sentences written in bold
letters:
“GUARD YOUR THOUGHTS. YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.”
“I KEEP MY ATTENTION ON MY INTENTION.”
“ACTION. PROTECTION. FOCUS.”
“I LIVE MY LIFE BY DESIGN.”
“I ASK FOR TRUST, CONFIDENCE, FAITH.”
“OPTIMISM BEATS FEAR.”
“I THINK. I FOCUS. I FEEL.”
“I DETACH FROM THE OUTCOME.”
(I have a page of information on the Power of Focus).
I read daily inspiring books that make me feel good.
It feels good to feel good. (A saying by Esther from Abraham).
I listen to self-help videos on You Tube: hypnosis; affirmations;
success stories, etc.
I sing my prayers on a daily basis.
I am presently reading 22 Tools to Transfer Fear and this
has strengthened my belief system.
I prepare moderately good food for my body, although I have
a sweet tooth and from time to time decide to enjoy sweets,
then, I fall flat and take some. I go for a period of taking
only the good stuff, but I also remind myself I am human and
need to play in this world, that I am a work in progress. I
would really get bored if I were perfect, I wouldn’t have any
friends, my children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters and
the world would run away from me and I need them in my life,
for now, anyway.
So, fear is not an issue on a general basis, but I do need to
work on getting financial freedom.
My family was not rich as I grew up, this has a lot to do with
this fear of lack. It is an issue with me now and has been throughout my life. I would definitely strive to know how
to handle this situation. I have an endless list of things
that I would do with financial freedom.
I was recently introduced to EFT; it is simply marvelous to do
on a daily basis.
Any suggestions in addition to the above? I am open to all that
enlightens to create good vibes for myself and the universe.
I relase fear by using a very simple reminder:
K_ keep
I_ it
S_ simple
S_ sweetheart
and acknowledge what fear realy is:
F_ false
E_ evidence
A_ appearing
R_ real
The way to face fear from myside is to watch a movie in mind with open eyes. i repeatedly watch the movie making it more scary with my own direction. finally i reach at the end ( generally 3 diffenet ending) which can be more fearful or happy to. I try to realize that the fearful event can be dangerous up to this level or may be OK also.
this visulisasion empowers me lot to face most of the fears.
another way, when i fear about some person, i use technich of picturising that person as a funny cartoon and speaking like donkey and i am kicking it harshly. this gives me little fun too. generally with superiors.
the best ways to overcome the fear of the situation when facing people with our wrong deed is to speak truth and accept mistakes.
I just realize that worst part of whatever I fear is the being afraid,
not what I think is the cause of the fear. I wonder what is the worst that could happen, and start discounting that by mentally solving the
problems. If it won’t kill me, I have nothing to lose. If it will kill me, I still have nothing to lose. I will still live, just not in this vehicle. And though I may be without a vehicle for a while on this Earth, I will still travel, as determined by the greater consciousness I feel. I don’t know how I know this, but I do. One time I faced an operation to correct 5 arterial occlusions. My heart was out of my body, and in a surgeon’s hands for 6 hours. I was never afraid. In fact, I was so relieved to be getting fixed that I was grateful. I have my God and He has me. We understand one another and
I have no fear.
The idea of fear is a curious one. Many ask what is it, how can I get rid of it or beat it? Perhaps there are better questions to ask. To think of fear as a noun may not be the most accurate perception. Perhaps fear is more to do with absence, perhaps it is more of a verb. Perhaps it is the absence of love, in similar contrast to darkness being the absence of light. Darkness is not a thing, it is the absence and contrast of light. Perhaps fear is not a “thing” either but perhaps the absence and contrast of love. So trying to conquer your fear by trying to find it and fight it might be a relatively futile endeavour if it doesn’t exist.
If fear is the absence of love then what is making it absent? Perhaps it is our own perception and constriction. Constriction that does not allow love to flow and therefore we feel its absence…fear. When you are feeling fear, what is happening in your body? Feeling a little tight? Where? On a more subtle level, do you think the same is happening? The stopping of the flowing of life? Release fear may have more to do with become open than fighting. Focusing on opening up to, rather than fighting fear, will cause more you to feel more love than resistance, resolving the problem of absence.
Sometimes you need to see fear from a different angle,otherwise the same thought keeps revolving around and hitting you harder each time-EFT has been quite useful for me,but Quantum Jumping has so many Ways to get round a problem.Its written By Bert Goldamn,and you’re never left in the dark,he’s always popping up everywhere!
