fearlessness

[Guest guest]

Sandra:

 

From the NLP/Time Line Therapy point of view there is:

 

Old fear, attached to past, unresolved conflicts, perhaps even past life

stuff. This is not so good. Old, no longer valid fears held in the body

are a double bind because the unconscious is just trying to let us know that

it thinks we are at risk, to protect us, but at the same time the fear takes

a huge toll on our health, which harms us. Also, some one who is holding a

lot of fear is often also afraid to make the change to get rid of the old

fear, because it's a protective mechanism. So making that change is your

leap of faith. This is where you use everything in the arsenal to maintain

your health, identify the source of the fear and acquire the learnings

needed to let it go. There is (in my opinion) no single right way to do it.

Everyone is different and use what works for you.

 

New fear is generated by the assessment by your unconscious mind of events

and the environment, with the result that your unconscious thinks you're at

risk somehow. This is a Good Thing. Ongoing fear can be about some real

physical/environmental/social problem (i.e. mercury poisoning), that is

outside of consciousness. A systematic assessment of your (holistic) health

and environment may identify something you have not yet noticed. Fear, by

itself in the pure form, is a fabulous tool for communicating with our own

unconscious and a useful tool for making decisions.

 

Anxiety is fear placed on the expectation of the negative results of a

future event. Often (not always) this is simply a habit pattern, like

smoking cigarettes. You can shift this one with any behavioural

modification program that suits you, like hypnosis, and the key is to start

thinking about and expecting positive outcomes for future events.

 

In my experience, Reiki will remove old fear, when directed to the location

in the body where the fear is felt, if the client has already learned

everything they need to know about the root problem. I also recommend that

you check with the Time Line Therapy Association TLTA for

the name of a Practitioner in your area, that you can talk to about that

process.

 

There have been a number of other informative suggestions on the egroup and

you are doing the absolutely right thing for yourself. Which is finding out

what is available to assist you towards your good old fearless self.

 

 

Take Care!

p.s. Courage is action in spite of fear, and You act courageously all the

time...

Jim,

 

I really like the way this sentence caused me to think!! Thank you

for such a profound statement.

 

Could it also be said that fear (and anger) may have at its root, an

unmet expectation? As I look at what used to be my anger, I see many

unmet expectations from myself and those around me. Once I stopped

expecting anything and allowed my life to happen, I became a much

more loving person.
