How Do You Release Your Fear?…Share Your Secrets And You Could Win A Complete Super Mind Evolution System (contest ends Midnight EST Wed, March 18)

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.

it is true that belief affects everything. though most of the time, belief is based on “proven substance” that reinforces through experiences. many goes to religion, spirituality and science to reinforce their belief systems and have the confidence to face life, in particular, face their fears. in a way, belief explains the known and the unknowns, that one becomes confident in living and in pursuit of happiness.
let me share a simple prayer that reinforces my belief and confidently face all my fears and eventually live happily every moment. that is, as follows: “GOD, I am always in your presence for all are within You. Let Your presence live in my pure heart and sound mind that I continually do all good and right deeds for the love of You. Amen”
here, my belief establishes on who is GOD. that is, all are within or inside Him. If all are deleted or removed, only GOD remains for HE is the Infinite Empty Space the Life Everlasting, All-Powerful, All-Knowing. This belief alone empowers me to face all fears.
hope this may help others also.
“FACE THE FEAR AND THERE IS NO FEAR” when fear emotion hits u, ask urself ” WHETHER THIS SITUATION IS GOING TO KILL ME OR NOT?” if the answer comes NO then that situation is going to make you ‘STRONG’.if ans comes YES then there is no need to worry! So “as far as any situation doesnt kill you, it makes u STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!
SO BE AFRAID ONLY ONCE IN UR LIFE! LIVE LIFE KINGSIZE!!
I use sound frequency videos that emit about 500 hertz or more for a feeling of love because love overcomes fear everytime.
I also pat and play with my dog. Dogs are known to have a high vibrational frequency which is why they are such good healers for people. When I was a therapy assistant, I took my dog to work with me and she would have the most effect on not only the happiness of the people there but their progress too.
I use affirmations, too, and have modified one I read somewhere. “Love is everywhere, Love is in the air, its spreading through the world, touching everyone, filling them with love and peace. I am full of love and beloved. I will often silently repeat that to myself as I walk or anytime I want to change from fear to love. I imagine people everywhere feeling love and a light shining from them.
I don’t read or listen to the news if I can help it and I don’t watch television shows that are full of angst and fear. I only watch feel good movies.
When I walk into a shopping centre or wherever there are large crowds of people, I silently say, Bless everyone in…. wherever it is. It seems to lift negative energy and I feel it protects me fom it.
Do I still feel fear? Yes, from time to time because it is a human condition but it just needs awareness that I am going into that state, diverting it as soon as the feeling is detected.
The best way to overcome fear is to know it is just a game, and it doesn’t really matter. When you’re not attached to something – be it even life – miracles happen. Just look at the biggest fear of us all – death. Is it really the end, or just a new beginning?! I was so afraid before, of everything – losing my job, getting sick, losing a loved one (my husband had cancer but thankfully he’s in perfect health now – 4 years later). We have realized – some endings are just new beginnings. Doors suddenly open up for you. Only when you have nothing (for ex. lost a job) you can notice new, wonderful opportunities coming your way. And cancer DOES change the way you look at life. You realize there is nothing more to fear if you overcame the fear of death itself. When you let go and don’t care anymore, then the healing begins. You are not attached to the outcome, thus receive it all! Good luck to you all and take it easy – enjoy this time around!
It is so happens that sometimes fear grips me.like there was a time i used to worry so much about how i was going tp feed my two children and wife.the feeling was was so intense i felt and saw all of it happening.then one day i formulated a way in which i saw the fear as a shadow.a shadow is just one.so from since then every time i feel some fear creeping in,i still my mind and remember of those times in the past when i felt blessed and i dwell on them.i thank God for them and see his blessings flowing in me.After that experience i promise you the fear becomes powerless and iam vibrant again!

when fear comes to me, I try to not reject it but to analise what I am afraid of really, the experience, the consequence of the reason of this fear?
OK, when I finally, honestly am award of it already it is less because nothing as no solution, if still I am not OK, I just go for a meditation like trying to give this fear a personality, name, smell, color,and then I change every thing for a better like nicer name, color, smell.
It is fun and at the end you don’t even remember what it was at the beginning
Instead of pouring out all the details of what drove me to this technique, I am just going to keep this simple by saying this has been working for me – amazingly. My life had become hysterical and this did more for me than everything I had done before.
This is a process that is based on the thought that ….If You want to get from here to there – you have to start here to get there. I found it through Abraham-Hicks.com materials.
The technique you do is by having a conversation with yourself starting right where you are now emotionally, be that anger, fear, etc.etc. on whatever subject you may be dealing with. The point is not to try and solve the problem or conquer the world in a single moment. Just start at whatever feeling is in that moment pouring through your body. Give it a little expression; understand there is value in the emotion you are feeling no matter what that emotion may be. Then try to find in your line of thinking any thought that feels a little bit better. Don’t worry if there are moments that you fall back to the old habit of worrying. Just start with the process each time something comes up and keep trying to turn your thought to something better. I had doubts at first that doing it would actually do anything. It just seemed I was venting and saying phony words. After a few days of doing this during one of my conversations, I cut loose with sarcasm about what I was doing and chuckled. It was in that moment I understood that I had improved how I felt. The way I had just previously felt was dark and nasty. I know that doesn’t sound like a success of any sort but the ability to find sarcasm instead of the depression creates a lighter load so to speak. Something that small immediately creates an improved condition from the one before. You do need to continue doing this each time you start to feel any kind of upsetting feelings. I just kept doing this, even if the relief was just barely above venting. Eventually each emotion will give way to a different one and if you are always trying to make the conversation go in a set tone of a better thought than the ones that were proceeding; your emotional level rises up the scale. A piece of advice my previous failed attempts were due to my trying to go from a feeling of fear to that of security in an instant. It was impossible no matter how much I wanted it and knew it existed for me. I had been caught up in the emotions of what was going on. There was a slow start for me but it picked up quickly the more I found myself using it and finding better thoughts.
Fear, friend or foe? A noise in the night scares you and your brains fight or flight kicks in. This fear is protective. Other types of fear
can do harm. What about the fears we face in life, fears of heights and many other phobias paralyze many people in our soceity. The thought of cancer strikes fear in anyone’s heart who hears it. There are many fears we all face in life and thats the way it is and will continue to be. The only way we can do anything about fear is to face it. That’s a very scary thought to many individuals because all they have known is to flee. When I speak of facing it, I mean to look at it and recognize it, study it, think about what is this that scares me so. Now what kind of control do you have in your situation. Has your fear brought on worry, stress, sleeplessness, disrupted your life. Wake up, recognize this fear for what it is.
Man is a manifesting being. Faith and fear are a spiritual creative force. What are you creating? They are opposing forces, one brings life and the other brings death. Now as a free thinking human being, you get to make a choice. Are you going to be crippled by fear or choose to use your faith to overcome your fears. I’m not saying it’s easy, but you’re worth fighting for. Say “I choose not to fear for fears choice for me is destructive, I choose to use my faith to bring victory to my situation. Making a choice and moving in the right direction is the first step. Then come the fight in the battleground of your mind. This is a battle you don’t want to fight because if you allow it to happen it will continue in your mind until it convince you to give up. What to do. Simply say, I choose not to allow this to go on and turn your thought to your great faith and how your victory is at hand and then laugh at this foolish fear for trying to fool you with it’s lies. Talk with someone about these fears or write it down and how you are going to defeat it. I know it sounds easy and real life is harder than that but it is eventual, you are the one in control so take control. If you’re a praying person, believe and march on.
When I was a young boy, I used to have dreams where I would fall off a building, a plane, or a mountain. I realized that this was probably due to my fear of heights. I had the bad experience of almost falling off a Ferris wheel. I think this contributed to this fear. Thus, almost every night, my dream would end with me falling from somewhere. These dreams ended when I learned to conquer my fear of heights. I changed my belief that I would tend to fall if I am in high place. I taught my mind to think that it is very safe to be in a high place that is structurally sound. Since then, I am no longer afraid of heights. Of course, I still exercise caution when going to a dangerous place.
This is also like a recent dream I had where I was lost in a big cave. It was very dark and I was a riding a motorboat inside this big cave. I was in a rush but I did not know why. I was driving the motorboat but we did not have any lights. I could not see anything but I still kept on driving. Somehow, I knew we were going to crash but I did not know how to stop. I was in a state of extreme fear since I wanted to get out of the cave. I kept on saying, “Why is there no light?”
When I woke up, I realized that I needed to find that “light” in my dream. Through the emails I received from Super Mind Evolution System, I have read a lot of great articles in self development. I practiced some of the techniques shared. It has helped me in changing my beliefs and finding the “light,” thus, removing all my fears.
Hi boobycats. Well what I do is face the fear head on. An ex abused me by deprivation of liberty i.e drove me in a locked car into the bush at night, bashed me, kept me o/n then released me end of next day after scaring me with what he had in mind to do to me. So to find a way to move forward I needed to listen to my own intuition and follow through. So like nowadays I drive through the bush alone any time day or night. I watch scary flicks. In other words I’ll embrace those scary feelings consequently I’m now proud I didn’t run or turn away from those vibes. With time and repeated exposure it gets better!
Hi Cyndi,
I read your article with great interest.I have the habit of keeping a journal, so I often use that “space” to express and release whatever negative feelings I may have from time to time.
There are many other ways to handle fear, often on the spot, depending on what kind of fear someone may feel. One technique that I find powerful, and I teach my clients to use it as well, is to sit down somewhere quiet for five minutes and do some breathing exercises like this: as you deeply breathe in you say “I breathe in white light” and as you breathe out you say “I breathe out darkness”. Usually the fear evaporates and you actually feel filled with white light. This technique works well with people who suffer from panic attacks as well.
Another technique is using the Sedona Method Releasing technique as taught by Larry Crane. First, you allow the fear to come up (you don’t try to fight it), you “embrace” it, you do not become afraid of your own fear, because it is JUST a feeling! Then you ask yourself if you could let go of some of this fear, if you WOULD let go of some of that fear, and finally you ask the question “when?”, to which the answer is right now. Then, once again, you allow yourself to feel whatever fear you still feel and on a scale from 1 to 10 you ask how much fear you now have. Then you go through the process of allowing and releasing. Gradually, your fear becomes a 9 an 8, a 7 etc. and within 10-15 minutes you can release all your fear and feel very light and relaxed again.
Sometimes this fear is felt in the body as a tightness in the area of the stomach. You can place your fist right on the stomach, clenched tight in the beginning, and begin to relax your fist (representing your inner tightness) and slowly relax, open up your fist. This opens up the solar plexus which becomes constricted when we feel fear, and the fear is gone.
Another technique of releasing fear is by relaxing for five minutes, and imagining that you enclose your fear in a balloon. Then, you let go of the balloon, and watch it until it disappears in the sky. By that time, the fear will also be gone, along with the balloon.
Something else that helps me many times and I have used it with clients with great success is this affirmation: “There is no fear, there is only God”, but you have to be a believer to use this technique, if not in “God”, in Divine Order and Wisdom. It is very powerful because it puts you in touch with that greater order and wisdom that governs the universe, in which there is no fear.It feels very soothing and helps you feel peaceful, steady and grounded inside.
Well, these are my contributions, for now, on the topic of fear.
When ever you are in fear of any kind and due to any reason, don’t waste a second and don’t resist your state of being of fear else it will increase, first accept your state of fear by saying twice or thrice to yourself “I accept that I am experiencing fear and that’s OK” that’s a powerful statement. Your fear will instantly loosen and then you must say to yourself “be fear” for another two to three times and you will intantly experience that your fear has gone, then you start thinking about any thing else i.e about food, fun etc. I am 100% sure that none of you will remain nervous for a second after that and would surely enjoy good mood after said. This is very a simple, effective, powerful and tested technique taught and applied by me on myself and by many others in my friends circle.
All the best to ward away all your fears.
A secret technique.
Regards
Sandy
Fear has been part of my life for a long time. I have experienced both the fear of failer and even the fear of success. I recently found out that fear is actually an action signal or a message. Fear usually relates to something that may or may not happen, and the message is primarily: “Be Prepared!”. To have the courage to face my fears and reduce the magnitude, I tell myself: “So what, I can handle it!”. In response to the signal I need to either change my perception about the situation, or change my approach towards getting the results I want.
The process:
1) Acknowledge the actional signal or message that I need to do something
2) Consider whether I need to change my perception about the situation or change my approach towards my goal?
3) Take the necessary action(s) – change perception or change approach
4) Evaluate if my action is producing the results I want
5) Be flexible to change my approach if it’s not working
IM GOING TO WIN THIS RARRRGHHH!!!
K my approach to fear is simple.
Move my attention to the present moment.
Feel fully, the emotion of fear. Allow it to be. The worst thing that can happen is to try to fight the fear. You can’t, you just let it be by being in the Now. It will eventually dissolve by itself, and it has worked wonders for me many times, over and over again.
This is the simplest and most effective way i have used in my life, and you can use it anywhere. anytime. Just be in the now, stay present, don’t resist your fear, and it will go away eventually.
VOTE FOR ME PEOPLE!!! AWOO AWOO AWOO!!!
Every time fears or worries arise, I tell myself stop, I take a deep breath, close my eyes, take a deep breath again and say in my mind every thing will turn out ok, everything is ok, then I tell myself to focus on what I’m doing, nothing else and lastly assure myself that solution to things I fear or worry about will come on the right moment.
And continue on with what ever I’m doing.
Thanks for inviting people to express how they deal with fear(s).
About 30 years ago I was blessed with a gift to enable myself and hundreds of others I hared this with to clear fear and severe trauma held within – even the most terrifying things imaginable.
Everything is energy, even fear. Trauma, no matter how severe, is an imprint of energy locked up in the consciousness somewhere – usually the subconscious. Karl Jung called the part of us that holds fear, trauma, apprehension, or any other negative qualities of consciousness in a part of ourselves he called the Shadow. Every single person on our planet has this within themselves to one degree or another.
Very few people are clear of all fears at this time. This aspect of human consciousness has been hanging onto all the negative stuff, all pain, misery, despair, loneliness, unworthiness, powerlessness, hopelessness, rejection, abandonment, separation, shocks, terror, horror, rage, anger, hatred, vehemence, envy, jealousy, the need for revenge – all sorts of stuff – even carry-overs from previous lifetimes. It is all held within the aspect of our consciousness Jung called the Shadow, and that Ekhard Tolle calls the Pain Body.
Clearing part or all of this stuff from the consciousness is a matter of understanding that all this emotional stuff is held within the subconscious as a format of bound-up energy. To access a lot of this old stuff, which is the basis of psychotherapy and psychology. Many modalities of those therapies require people to eventually come to a place where they become strong enough to face the issue, call it up and deal with it, eventually release it from their consciousness. This is usually a lengthy and expensive process, which can and does, for some, take many years.
However I was gifted the means to let go of part or all of that stuff. It is to simply go inside to that place of inner peace and stillness, and call up that aspect of our consciousness called the Shadow, and allow it to come into our awareness as a shape or figure of some kind or another. It usually comes into the awareness as a very dark shape or form – different every time.
Ask it to communicate with you, and it will. Ask it if it is willing to let go of whatever it carries, because you do not have to re-live whatever triggered the fear or trauma. It does not matter what it is, or how it got there, either. If you were to call it up as an individual issue would most likely trigger a strong emotional response as well as a mental and/or even a physical response, which does not serve anyone.
Ask it to show you a representation of how much this old stuff it is carrying inside itself as some kind of a color, and to show you how much of it there is, by extending the color being shown – even if it extends far, far outside your body – perhaps far beyond the moon or even the entire solar system. It does not matter what the color is, either – it may be a very dark and ugly one, or a bunch of different colors, or a very pretty color.
Then simply acknowledge that this color represents some kind of fear, trauma or whatever – and declare full and complete responsibility for the creation of whatever it is as represented by the color you are being shown. Then take a deep breath and declare that it no longer serves you to carry anything and everything represented by this color around inside yourself at any level of yourself any longer.
Take another deep breath and declare that of your free will, you now choose to completely and totally release and let go of whatever it is that is represented by this color NOW. Then call down a column of Light from Source to completely surround your entire body, and declare “I release everything that this color represents now with gratitude and appreciation for whatever it was that I learned from it” Take another deep breath and blow out the breath as vigorously and explosively as possible and visualize sending all that stuff represented by the color up the column back to Source!
As soon as it is released ask Source to completely reprogram and transmute this old energy into pure Light and consciousness, free of any negative vibrations, and reprogram it with unconditional Love, acceptance, benevolence, kindness, joy, happiness and any other qualities you can think of. Most people see a huge flash when this old energy reaches Source and again as it is reprogrammed and transmuted.
If you want, you can ask that this completely transmuted energy be returned to you, because it is your energy – and see is descend as a huge ball of Mother-of-Pearl White Light that shimmers and shines – and see it descend down until it is right in front of you. Then give your body permission to accept this wonderful Light and energy back into your body and send it to all levels of your Being – and give yourself permission to fully integrate this energy back into yourself everywhere, on all levels simultaneously, and it will be so for you.
This works so well it is often considered magical by hundreds of people.
I invite everyone to use this method, as it is a gift from me to everyone, as it was a gift to me.
I always forgive myself for choosing to experience any sort of fear, and forgive anyone else that may have been involved in whatever the circumstance may have been, including all past lives. Then I tank all others involved with gratitude and appreciation for their participation in my learning, bless them and let it all go.
The magic of it is that almost without exception, whatever triggered the fear never, ever, shows up in your life again, period!
then carry on with your life knowing that all that old stuff is gone! However, if you feel there is still some left, which does happen with a few people once in a while, just repeat the process as often as you would like, as more and more old stuff is released every time.
There is NO downside to this process!
I think it is remarkable that people from the four corners of the globe can share openly without judgement, without much ego, and in a spirit of love. There is a mighty lesson in this alone.
Fear.
I have studied pma materials for decades, and the laws of energy for a couple years.
I operate several small businesses. I have felt fear, and know how immobilising and devasting it can be.
Alot of Guru’s spend their time pandering shovels to the gold miners in this new era of science and understanding. This place and the people here are different as both give alot without encouraged expectation. It is giving from the heart- and it shines through.
I have recently adopted a personal mantra that I play throughout the day in my mind.
“My ambitions, accomplishments, and my potential- are a whole lot bigger and stronger than any fear I may have.”
Try this (or your version of it) that nano-second before the fear tries to creep in. It seems to stops the fear rascal in its tracks.
I have also found Jason Mangrums material useful, as I have found Jeffrey G. the entrainment specialist helpful. Apologies for any incorrect spelling.
I have a recurring nightmare about drowning.After losing sleep by being shocked awake many times,I decided to surrender to it.By lying down again and in a light doze,I played with it,becoming Aquaman and breathing the water.This worked for me.Your brain is not always under your control,so practice with Alpha levels to become detached.Also I love Frank Herberts litany against fear from “Dune”the novel.Check that out if you have a dramatic bent.Love to all.
Every time I have this fear feeling, that begins to fill in all my body, immediately I begin to analyze what I am fearing of, accepting with love what is trying to tell me and stop it by thinking and feeling exactly the opposite I am fearing of.(apologize my english, but I am not american). For example: if I feel shy in any given situation, I imagine myself full of self confidence and interacting with everyone without any fear, and I mentalize it until I really believe and feel that I am a super self confident person, capable of interacting with anyone.
Other resource that I use when I wake up fearful and anxious, is to meditate (MT, or Japa or Silva Mind) and they get me in balance again.
Finally, I have adopted a personal mantra that says something like this, to apply in this situation: “I live in a safe world, nothing could harm me and God protects me always”. Well, it has worked for me everytime. Love for all of you.
i also write
but i write kind of talk with that special fear
as i am a curious one
i always want to know why this special fear is here with me…
and i very often got the message
that the fear is glad
i found contact to it
i could appreciate it for its help and support for a “time”
and that each and every fear wants to leave….
they want to go back to the rainbow where tthey are part from
from where they came dawn to support and shield
and every time when i see a rainbow i know that these are my supporters guiding my way in multicoloured light
rainbow regards

I dont know whether any of you have heard of EFT, where you tap the meridian points in the body to let go of all negative emotions that short circuit your electrical flow in the body. The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption of the body’s electrical system. You get a distressing memory it disrupts the body’s electrical system and you have a negative emotion. You start of like this: saying to yourself while you tap 7 times above the eyebrow, next to the eye and on the collar bone and karate chop point on your hand : “Even though I have this fear of ____ I completely and deeply accept myself (all the time tapping) when done take a deep breath and exhale and say “peace” Continue with this until the fear or fobia is gone and there is no negative emotion left when you think about it.
Remember we can blame anyone and everyone for our fears but in reality we are the ones creating it or keeping it alive by replaying it over and over to such an extend that we become slaves of our mind and its feelings. I suggest that you get some info on EFT there are excellent videos on youtube and it really works.
Its very easy and at the same time difficult for a lot of people, we can call it duality, its what about is our life here on this planet,
love is present all the time, surrounding you, universal love, every body can feel it. fear is not rational, we create it. so if you want loss your fear, than dont create it. it is so simple. fear dont exist, love do.
I allow myself to imagine my fear happening, in as much detail as I can. Force myself to actually Feel the fear..to see what could happen if my fear happened. If I can catch myself when I am already feeling that fear…then expand it to include all fears surrounding that issue. I find after I have allowed myself to ‘go there’, the fear just dissipates, and I rarely ever experience that fear again..because I have already processed it.
While I am imagining the fear, living the fear in my imagination it shows me so often how silly so many of my fears are, and how unlikely they are to happen which makes it easy to let go of the fear.
As I feel the fear move away, I then begin to change my visualization to the positive outcome..so I can end my work on a positive note. I visualize what can now happen since my fear is gone. What doors are now open to me? What risks can I now take since the fear is gone?
Then imagine how I Want the scene to go, not how it may happen if I let my fear control me, but instead what would happen if I allow love to make the choices instead of fear.
Love,
Sheila
Everybody knows the acronym FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). Or I hope they do!:) Every time a fear starts to “stir up” I stop to analyze why I’m fearful. The fear that I feel is created by me so I have the ability to stop it. Imagine driving along and a police car quickly pulls up behind you with it’s lights on. Most people start to get nervous, maybe sweat, start wondering what they did wrong and have a little fear. Then after pulling over the officer walks up to your car and says, “it looked like your tire was about to have problem so I wanted to pull you over so that it did not burst while you were driving”, instantly we fell relief and the fear is gone. Why? because we created in our head a situation that was supposed to happen. We started to become nervous and fearful that we did something wrong and we were going to get a ticket or whatever. Now, how often does a police officer pull us over for that reason or a reason similar. Not often, the point I’m trying to make is that all fear is created within us. We create the fear based upon previous experiences or what we think should or is going to happen. Now, fear from being chased by a dog or killer or something is different. We have no control over our reaction to that. That is an automatic control by our nervous system, fight or flight, most of us know that. So, my tip is to analyze the situation, think about why you are creating the fear in your mind and if you can do something about the situation that is allowing you to create the fear then deal with it. If not, I stop worrying. If I still have some feelings of fear then I start using EFT to calm myself down and that usually does the trick.
The fastest way to dissolve fear is to be it. Fully experiencing without adding thoughts to it. When you (attention) looks keenly to any-thing it dissolves. Just give a minute to it, you will see that fear is from past and because of past – you expect, thus fear arises.(any emotion and thought is of past and of future, but you are NOW always, if you can grasp it- you are free.) The point is – all this is going on subconsciously, your duty is to make it conscious, because in consciousness everything dissolves as in light darkness dissolves. Is fear existent at all? Find out.
You can run away from fear using a lot of methods but it will always be near you until you transcend it by fully experiencing and looking into it. So, to sum up: never forget yourself, if you look at yourself closely you will see many things you haven’t known yet and everything will dissolve as a dream dissolves by waking up.
It is written well “Seek the Seeker”. Seek that who fears.
I attended a 10 day Vapassana meditation course. When I enrolled, I thought it was anger that I needed to get rid of, but found out that it was fear. I had let people exercise a degree of control over me, then became angry at myself for allowing it to happen. During the 10 days of silence and deep meditation, the fear was released. After I returned home, I continued to do deep meditation. More and more fear was released, relating back to events that had happened to me in the distant past. I now live without the fear and people no longer control me. I have done many self-improvement programs including The Sedona Method, Transcendental Meditation, self-hypnosis, Joe Vitalle’s Secret Behind the Secret, etc. All of these programs are useful and helpful, but none have given the lasting effect that Vapassana meditation did.
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” I remember my father paraphrasing FDR’s famous quote when I came home from school after one of those awful sirens that prompted 3rd graders around the world to crawl under their desks during the infamous “air raid drills” of the 60s.
I have vivid recall of coming home terrified. The whole idea of this practice insensed my father (as well it should have any concerned parent). Knowing that he could not convince the well meaning the nuns to foregoe the practice, my father gave me the following advice. “Every time the siren starts picture yourself as a little bird flying home to its mother.” As I sat huddled under that desk with the shrill sound of the siren I learned to hear this beautiful chirping and pictured myself as this graceful bird flying home. I came to ‘feel’ the sensation of flight. Silly as it sounds some 40 years later, when that knot of fear starts jangling. I close my eyes for a moment and hear a call home and I’m flying…eyerything becomes loose and calm. Silly really, but it is a powerful image…When I picture myself in flying home it is imposissble to be tense. When you lose the tenseness the fear seems to dissolve. I think particularly in these times where there is so much uncertainty FDR’s sage wisdom rings more true than ever. We can choose to “fly” during the upcoming years or sit crouched under our little desks awaiting doom. It is a choice completely in our control. I would love to win Super Mind and take flight in a new direction. Much care, Susannah
FEAR = (F.orget E.verything A.bout R.esults). Plunge directly into that what you fear most and care not a whit concerning the outcome. Pray as if everything depends upon the Everliving then act as if everything depends upon you. For fear is an illusion. Look fear directly in the eye and keep moving forward. Thus fear will be transmutated into raw energy. As it is written, it is better to act than to not act. By absorbing fear in the manner of action, you will dispel it like the brilliant morning Sun evaporates the pre dawn fog.
My strategy for fighting fear is simple:
1) I ask myself “How am I scaring myself?” “What am I seeing, hearing, or saying to myself that is causing me to feel this fear?” Taking responsibility takes some of the fear away.
2) If it is a picture in my minds-eye it move it away puy a frame around it, and make it a black-and-white still. If it is a sound in my minds-ear, I move it away and turn down the volume. If it is something I am saying to myself, I move it away and change the voice to Donald Ducks. Getting some space from the fear further reduces my fear.
3) Now I examine the picture, sound, or voice from all perspectives. Make it a movie, then a still. Color it in pastels and then in garish colors. Speed it up then slow it down. Walk around it and see it from all sides. Change a sounds pitch or volume. Anything I can do to understand it, I do. As I do so, I ask myself “What is the benifit I am trying to give myself by entertaining these thoughts?” “What is my positive intention?” (I might have to ask myself several layers of this question, so if answer #1 still seams scary or negitive, I ask “And what is the positive intention of answer #1?” until I get to a truely positive answer). Putting the fear in a form that allows me to see and hear its message fully, reduces the fear still more, and empowers me to see and hear what I can do about the situation that was scaring me.
4) I apreciate myself for the communication and take some action designed to take me closer to that benifit. Taking actions quells any last bit of the fear and builds a confidence that I can deal with the situation and make a difference in my own life.
How I release my fear is by journalizing to myself and getting anything and everything that’s on my mind off first of all and then I also take a couple of walks a day which helps and along with those I also like to meditate and when anything comes along that starts fear to arise in me I think of a couple of different things the first of those being. Okay what does this thing have to teach me. What lesson am I to learn from this situation? Then I also say to myself “Life never gives me more then I can handle at one time” So I know that if it was given me then it is because I have what it takes to handle the situation and that also creates a good calming effect in itself and I also do inner dialoging.
Do things that make you happy and feel peaceful
Which is really easy to do if your in the habit of journalizing medtiating already. Also I live in the moment for the moment knowing that it creates so much magic by doing so. And I don’t worry because I know that whatever comes to me I can handle and I know that worrying gets you no where. Though if I find myself slipping into a bad habit such as worrying I ask myself what good is worrying? And where it’s getting me. Which of course I know the answer to that is no where but wasting my time and causing more harm then good so. Aside from that I ask myself and search out what the cause of my fear is and rather it is a just fear or an imained fear. All of which have been a great way to release my fears because after I write them done and inner dialog they don’t seem so big nor so bad anymore because it brings them down to handlable size. My last thing to release fear is to find something that I want to replace it with and the replacement would of course be that of peace so I do the things that make me feel at peace and peaceful and that would be anything at all of enjoyment and most of all I want highly suggest sitting near a body of water to calm the mind body and soul whenever at all possible as it brings a wonderful sense of peace.
1) Journal
2) Exercise
3) Meditate
4) Ask yourself what lesson you have to learn from things
5) Inner Dialog
6) Don’t worry
7) Live/be in the NOW moment
9) Replace fear with peace and peaceful feelings or that of joy
I find the Best way of releasing my fear is first acknowledging that there is a fear, then with a process of writing reading and listening to positive affirmations gradual the fears fade into black.I recently was aked to do a speach in front of a group on a subject i knew alot about but they did not. but even so after agreeing to do it all these fears came rushing in when i got home and started thinking about what was ahead, so I started listening writng and reading affirmations telling myself that I could do this that i was confident.When the event finally arrived and it was my time to speak. I took a deap breath stood up and thanked everyone for inviting me to speak. i then reminded myself that i could do this. and the words just came pouring out not neccesarily in quite the way i thought they would but better. everyone said they had enjoyed the talk afterwards and I felt elated that I had overcome a big fear. I never have a problem speaking infront of small or large groups of people now.
we are master of our thoughts.when i get feared i experience my heavenly father with me and in me and i feel that we all are here for death.we have to die one day .So, by feeling my universal father’s power and visualising him with me i beat every fear.Because no one can hit us without his permission and as we are his son so he loves us and always do best for this that’s my thinking and method.
I always try to first rationalize and understand what I can about the fear and then rate it on a survival scale. If it’s not at the top of the scale I tell myself that it can be worked out. When I am by myself, if the fear continues I use visualization to work through it, as follows.
I picture pulling the fear out of me using my mind and gathering the fear into a ball. The ball is then buried into the ground and is pulled by the earth’s energy into its center core. In the core is a blazing fire that transmutes and purifies the fear.
At this point the transmuted energy rushes up and when it reaches the top it has become the most incredible, beautiful glowing flower that sways with the breeze on a sunny day but is very strong at its roots. The flower’s aura emits a sparkling, beautiful golden color which is the energy of love and joy. I am mesmerized and reach over to touch the flower with my hands and its energy rushes into my body and fills the parts where the fear previously resided and then my entire body and aura. The energy is then mixed with the protective power of a powerful white light from the universe that enters my body through my head and mixes with the golden energy. They both extend out to cover my aura. I feel the energy/light of love, joy and protection and let this feeling continue to intensify. I bask in the feeling and tell myself that where there is absolute divine love fear cannot reside as there is no room for it. I express my thanks and gratitude for the reminder and transmutation. I lightly pinch my leg to anchor the feeling and then slowly start to open my eyes. If the fear reappears at a later time, I repeat the visualization but often if I just pinch the anchor point this is enough to bring back the feeling of love, joy and protection.
Rest your mind for a few moments. Have your mind display the fear that you are going through. After seeing this fear completly, erase it COMPLETELY. Also there is a bird sitting on your left shoulder saying “you are going to “fail”. Now take your right hand and slame your left shoulder shouting “YOU ARE DEAD! YOU ARE DEAD! You are now free of the fear! If in the future something like this returns, REPEAT THIS!
it took me three month trying to remove doubt within me till the time i learn the power that is given to me whatever i agree with happen either good or bad.If we can learn this.we can turn the unstable world
The article and comments are very empowering to read. The common themes are to;
– accept/embrace the fear
– learn from it – it’s a gift/contribution towards your self knowledge and self understanding
-
The article and reader comments were empowering. The common ideas were:
- embrace the fear
- acknowledge you have a choice in letting it run you/keep you stuck or not
- accept full responsibility,it’s of your creation
- acknowledge as a contribution to own self knowledge/development
- give thanks for the lesson/s
- trust in yourself and god to cope/manage/survive…even thrive
- excercise your choice to let it go and be willing to do this
Fear is something you feel It is also a mountain or a hill that wants to stop you from achieving your goal. Many times I would not speak with people I did not know personally but knew would and could use my Professional services. It was a feeling of fear that kept me from doing what I knew I should do. After a few times of not approaching someone I decided to turn around and no matter what I felt I was going to talk to these prospective Clients and I did after the first time I still was reluctant but each time I did not let fear control my life and decisions It got easier and eventually did not exist. I achieved a mind set that would not let failure in to my life and I was capable of doing anything. I use positive affirmations on a daily basis (I am programed for success) When a Person understands what fear really is they can overcome fear easily It is like a monkey wrench thrown into your favorite project. you have the unlimited power of your mind to correct anything negative and do anything you want in life fear can only exist if you allow it get out of your comfort zone and push right threw what ever mountain it is in your life
I have felt fear many times.
Walking to my car at night, rushing to get in and start the motor.
That feeling, that uneasy vibration.
I have learned to shift my feelings …. I have learned the process of pivoting.
It works…every time…in all circumstances.
Try it!
Just say “I don’t like this feeling” and respond to yourself “How would I like to feel”.
Feel the vibration!
Deep love and meditation can free oneself from the grip of fear.
When I am overcome by fear it feels like a wave rising up within me and fully engulfing me. I become so overwhelmed that I cannot function. I have learned many techniques to help me cope. One is the Sedona Method where you relax into the feeling and then ask 3 questions: Can I let go of this feeling? Would I? When? But this doesn’t always help. I have found that the feeling of fear rises from the solar plexus area and I have realized that when I feel fear I am losing power – specifically from the solar plexus chakra but also from the heart chakra. I have a new method where I tell myself that none of this is real – the fear is not real – I have created it – I am not letting it take my power – and then I take deep breaths and state that I am taking my power back from this creation of fear and I feel the power returning to me. Usually I feel a sense of great joy and wonder after using this process. I adapted this process from “Busting Loose from the Money Game” a book by Robert Sheinfeld. My youngest child died recently and quite suddenly. This process works with intense grief as well and got me through some very difficult days.
These are the techniques that I have used to release fear.
1. Energy Psychology – Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Tapas Acupressure Technique(TAT), Inner Demon Destroyer (IDD) have been quite useful for me in releasing all sorts of fear, stress and trauma
2. Energy Medicine by Donna Eden- Balancing your energy field with the techniques she describes in her books has been most useful. Techniques like sedating triple warmer, connecting heaven and earth, the wayne cook posture, the fear tap, holding the neurovasculars, cross crawls, the fear tap and darth vadar breath have helped me release stress and brings a deep calm to my body and spirit.
3. NLP- I’ve been listening to various NLP programs and they all have helpful techniques to release fear. The swish pattern and self talk are most helpful for me. Check out work by Charles Faulkener and Chris Howard as well as Richard Bandler for some great tools.
4. Flower essences. I have been using Flower Essences to vibrationally transform fear for years. they are gentle way of using the spiritual intelligence of plants to transform fear.
5. Go to alpha and theta brainwaves and command and see yourself strong, confident and able, how you would like to be.
Listen to the alpha mp3 and use techniques found in Silva Method, Thetahealing, The One Command, to see yourself and the situation that is causing you fear and stress changing to one that empowers and frees you.
6. Keep the programing of how you want to be constant with things like Mindmovies and dream programing and meditation at alpha theta.
Fear happens in relationship with external stimuli we receive in the form of any dangerous situation or sometimes internally embedded into memory system which recurs. As it is emotive trip in downward spiral, it drains enough energy from physiological system to leave us in debilitated state.
There are stages of fear resolution process. I feel that acknowledgment is first step in getting out of it. Sometimes deep acceptance of fear present in us paves the way for coming out of the negative vibrations. Still if fear is deeply embedded, it takes time to come out on surface to fully realize. Modern technology and ancient wisdom allows us to find solution in easy ways which were never present in human civilizations. Internet is obviously one of powerful medium to help us in digging deep into human psyche.
Here is the list of books which helped me in understanding my fear and resolving it as permanent cure.
(1)Path of Meditation by Osho
(2)The Book of Secrets by Osho
(3)Paraliminal Technology
(4)Holosync Technology
(5)Silva Life system
(6)Super Mind Evolution System
Above listed information and technique helped me in understanding my position in vast phenomenon of existence. I can broadly categorize the fear into following categories and my technique to overcome it.
(A)Fear of Death – Any negative events which are diminishing in nature and let us feel that whether we will be able to survive it or not, gives us small taste of death. But if we go deeper into reality of phenomenon called death, it will open the door for next odyssey in higher realm. I went through Tibetan process “BARDO” described in their literature “The Book of dead”. It explains step-by-step phenomenon of body dissolution into elemental form like earth, water, fire, air and space as well as our journey into astral dimension in ethereal form to encounter the illusive nature of mind and different powerful form of light of spiritual and human dimensions as it unfolds each day after death. As understanding deepens through meditative process, it releases us from many unwanted attachment and clinging. The liberated energy allows us to live a better life in more fulfilling way. It also gives us taste of immortal nature of being and frees us from fear of death.
(2)Fear of sex – Sex is one of the most important processes in survival of any living species. Yet there is so much stigma and negativity attached to it, we never allow us to fully realize the potential of sexual power. As I was also carrying load of unchecked prejudices, I was not allowing myself to delve deeply into understanding and exploring the gift God has bestowed upon. I tried tantric philosophy and teachings of vatsyayana to activate the suppressed erotic energy present in human body. As I become freer with experimentation, it helped me in enjoying the subtleties of the art of sexual ecstasy.
(3)Fear of ridicule – As our position in society is mostly depended on how we are perceived by others; it is major guiding force in most of our important decisions of life. Still sometimes it becomes suffocating to live by expectations of others and suppress the creativity which needs expression in unfolding course of evolution. If we keep on taking well thought chances, it increases our courage to face more and more situations without compromising with self esteem. Meditation also puts into touch with our inner self and enhances intuitions, which acts as compass in navigating the path of life without losing directions.
(4)Fear of going insane – I used OSHO’s dynamic meditation to enact out insanities present in us and release it. It is very powerful cathartic technique to own our negative shades and release it to feel lighter and freer. Once we don’t carry inner hang ups, there is no chance of becoming crazy and loose the sanity.
(5)Fear of Poverty – Economics plays measure role in smooth governance of daily activities of life. As market fluctuates in unpredictable ways, it also destabilizes the base of income of many common persons, still if we can program our mind with happiness, optimism and prosperity, we can find the way to get out of the mess created economic recession. If we can touch the source of energy which is omnipresent, it releases us from the fear of being disconnected from life resource. The vast inner resource present in everyone will bring better human circumstances after any kind of upheaval or change.
Life is continuous unfolding of self discovery; it leaves us with ultimate adventure of facing different forms of our negative and positive shades. Still as meditations deepen, it guides us into the territory of love, light and truth where fear has no existence. When we will meet with ourselves in deepest union, we will get the taste of nectar.
Fear and excitement feel pretty much the same in one’s body. What makes one person bow to fear while another rises to the challenge? It’s a matter of perspective. I affirm to myself often that winners rise to the challenge. Then when I am blocked by fear I can visualize it as excitement at the prospect of the challenge. This helps in my business where I have to contact people on a regular basis to get referrals.
I release my fear through prayer, trusting God inplicitly for He has NEVER failed me yet. I confess my fears to Him and ask Him to help me deal with it according to His plan for my life. I focus on overcoming my fear and what I want to happen, I live as if it’s already so. Sometimes my fears confront me head on and I am forced to deal with them but once God helps me to do so I realise I spent more energy running from my fears than I did in overcoming them. I feel liberated as opposed to the trapped feeling which comes from avoiding your fears. In fact one does not start to LIVE until one can face ones fears knowing that you WILL overcome. My faith is in my creator who will Never fail me nor you IF YOU BELIEVE. God bless you. I love you all. Cary
I release fear in different ways. Sometimes I just take a deep breath push my fear aside by telling myself to think about it later and go head long into whatever it is I want or need to do. Other times I confront the fear through introspective questions and self-analysis.
Shucks,
I’ve probably missed the deadline, commuting for me takes a day or three… but thought this a helpful offering:
FEAR – Future Events Appearing Real
Awareness
It has controlled me and limited my life… but, with the kind gift of self-observation, gleaned from 12 step recovery work, I can sense it’s emotional pressure or physical manifistation.
Now, before it cranks up the ol’ rationalizer or externalizer or awfulizer (which will pretty well seal the fear deal), I have a choice. I can react the way I’ve always done or consider this.
Things that are mutually exclusive (They just don’t mix):
oil and water
light and dark
positive or negative
Being a Victim or being grateful
Love or fear
Solution or problem
Energy follows intent, no thought has any more power than the energy I give it. Though it sounds and feels like me and it can hijack a lot of time if I don’t catch it (awareness) quick. I am responseible for what I give sanctuary to in my thoughts. I am the thinker, not the thought. Fear is an emotion… emotions are created by thoughts. Simple enough for this guy.
Pretty cool posts above!
Blessings and Bubbly Giggles for the Lot!!!

FEAR! Fear is not an abstraction, it is not a thing from which you can run away; it is there. Whether you run away for a day, for a
year, for some time, it catches you up wherever you are, and goes with you. You may turn your eyes away from it,but it is there.
Fear exists only in relationship to something else. I am afraid of public opinion, I am afraid of my wife, I am afraid of my boss, I am afraid of losing my job, I am afraid of death, I am afraid of pain; I am not healthy, I would like to be healthy, and I am frightened of going back, of falling ill again; I am frightened because I am lonely; I am frightened because nobody loves me, nobody has a warm feeling for me; I am frightened because I have to be nobody. There are various forms of fear, conscious and unconscious.
If you are at all aware—aware, not in the narrow sense, but exten
sively—you can see the obvious fears: of losing a job and therefore playing up to the man above you, bearing all the boredom of it, his insults, his inhumanities; being frightened of not fulfilling; being frightened of not being somebody, being frightened of going
wrong. So we have innumerable fears,and consciously we can know them
quite easily. If you spend half an hour consciously, deliberately, to find out your fears, outwardly at least, you can easily stop them.
Fear is not an abstraction, it is not a word; but, for
most of us, the word has taken the place of the fact. You see that? The word ‘fear’ which is an abstraction has taken the place of the fact, which is the actual fear, and therefore you are dealing with the abstract word and not with the fact. What is important is not ‘how to be free of fear?’ If you seek a way, a method, a system to be rid of fear, you will be everlastingly caught in fear. But if you understand fear — which can only take place when you come directly in contact with it, as you are in contact with hunger, as you are directly in contact when you are threatened with losing your job—then you do something; only then will you find that all fear ceases— we mean all fear, not fear of this kind or of that kind. Because out of the freedom and the understanding and the learning about fear comes intelligence, and intelligence is the essence of freedom. And there is no intelligence if there is any form of conflict, and conflict must exist as long as there is fear. These i confess is the narration of J Krishnamurthy the most famous philosopher India ever produced and i follow it.
I don’t know if I can answer (how to get rid of fear) since
for the last 15 years I haven’t had any fear. What you need is to have a complete inner peace… You know that what ever happens you are not in control there is someone Higher, someone that knows all, sees all, here’s all. A God so mighty that he occupies no space but yet is everywhere. If you give him all your cares, all your stress, ALL YOUR FEARS. what you have left is a PEACE that you know nothing will happen in your life without a purpose.
