FEAR
In a general sense, emotions can be described as a body reaction. Emotions, such as anger and fear, literally seem to rise up from the abdomen and spread like wildfire through the body while 'higher' emotions, such as love and joy, seem to spring from the chest and spread their warmth from there. Other emotions like hate and grief can spread cold throughout the body.
Fear is directly linked to failure to face or express something. It often arises when we fail to face the truth or our own feelings, or when we fail to express our feelings. Fear is also directly related to anger; it seems that fears grow within us because at some point in the past we failed to express anger at outrages we felt on mental, emotional, physical or moral levels. Anger can be a positive expression of power that, when properly used, can release or ward off negative energy that is being pushed at us. It is a way of clearing one's space and reclaiming it. Another component of fear and its ability to grow within us is the lack of self-love that most of us feel; we do not have the basis of self-worth that builds strength and courage. With these characteristics, fear would have no ground to sprout. Awareness of a higher cause in our spiritual lives is an aid in working out fears. If we align ourselves with the spirit and energy of men like Jesus or Buddha, we align ourselves with the more positive energies available to us on the plane. This in itself will help keep fears away. This mixture provides essences to work on all these issues. |
