WHERE DOES FEAR COME FROM

Is fear a natural human response? 

Why are we all riddled with so much fear?

Where does it come from?

Most would say that fear is a natural response to keep us safe. But, as I dove deep into this question within myself, I found a more meaningful answer that could be the key to healing and living a more fulfilled life.

What if we are using fear as an escape?

How we feel is our true meter and guide of how we interpret and experience the situations that we find ourselves in. If something feels good, we tend to be lighter, happier and desire more of that circumstance. If something feels awful, we feel heavier, uncomfortable and tend to avoid those experiences. Most times, if something feels off, there may be some underlying trauma or emotions that rise and need to be acknowledged and felt. Fear is a response that we use, an escape from feeling and looking at these things.

Fear allows us to bypass the emotional connection to the physical reality that we have attracted and created fully by our own doing. And as long as we are not willing to accept that truth, we stay in a victim state of being, constantly blaming others for our pain. We maintain our addiction to thinking over feeling. 

To live in the most flow and peaceful way, thinking should be used for practical matters and then dropped, so that we fall back into our hearts. Our hearts and feelings provide the true inspiration and direction for living here. 

Move into your fear. Life is on the other side.

Your mind will tell you it’s impossible, but you are stronger.
