Take a moment to arrive in your comfortable seated meditation posture.
Elongating through your spine,
Gently relaxing your shoulders back and down,
Opening the chest.
Feeling a long neck,
Crown of the head reaching up.
Keep your whole body soft and relaxed,
Your face,
Muscles in your face,
Soft and relaxed.
Seeing your whole body,
The ground underneath you,
Holding you and supporting you.
And then feel the movement of the breath in your body.
The gentle rising and falling of belly and chest.
One breath after the other.
Breathing in and out.
One and out.
Fear has never been a good advisor.
Fear has never been a good base for decisions.
Fear has never been a constructive force.
Fear keeps you hostage,
Fear keeps you small,
Captured in a limited perception of the world,
A limited perception of your own abilities.
Fear leaves no room for possibilities,
For options,
For growth,
For transformation.
Fear keeps you trapped in a world of limitations and lack.
Fear keeps you trapped in a life that doesn't feel right.
A life that doesn't feel right because it isn't right.
Fear disguises as the voice of reason.
Fear appeals to your need for safety and security.
But fear speaks out of lack and worry.
Fear lives in a world where you have something to lose.
But what is there to lose?
Your possessions,
Your achievements,
Your comforts,
Your family and friends,
Your health.
In life,
That is the physical life in this material world,
There is always something to lose.
In the end you will lose your life altogether.
But if you need to lose something in order for your inner self to find its true expression,
In order for you to find your true purpose.
We often perceive losing something as unfortunate,
As undesirable.
But out of losing something,
Something else is emerging.
Reframing losing into letting go transforms you from the passive victim to the active creator.
If you perceive yourself as the passive victim,
Life is a continuous act of losing something.
If you perceive yourself as the active creator,
Life is a continuous act of letting go and allowing space for something new to emerge.
Letting go encompasses non-attachment,
Acceptance and trust.
Acceptance into whatever you think you have,
Full acceptance of whatever situation presents itself,
Full trust into yourself and a higher power.
You may call this higher power universe,
God,
Whatever you wish.
When you master the art of letting go,
You realize there is nothing to lose.
In this process fear diminishes and eventually fades away fully.
When you leave fear behind,
You are met with the knowing that everything will be alright,
That everything is alright,
That you are exactly where you are supposed to be,
Doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing.
Imagine for a moment that you couldn't think fear,
Feel fear.
How would your life be different?
Would you make different decisions?
Would you risk more?
It's fear that keeps you small,
Caught in situations that no longer suit you,
Caught in conditions you are longing to overcome.
Your passions and dreams are wanting to be lived.
Your inner nature,
Your essence is longing for expression.
You are here to express yourself.
You are here to create who you want to be.
You are not here to live a shadow life,
A shadow self.
You are here to shine your brightest self out into the world.
Fear is not helpful in this process.
Fear is not a good base for decisions.
Fear is not a good advisor.
Fear is not a constructive force.
Fear is limiting.
Fear is narrow minded.
Fear is destructive.
When fear arises,
Don't follow its guidance.
Instead,
Meet your fear with kindness.
Hold your fear in compassion.
Hold yourself in compassion.
Fear is not your enemy.
It's okay to experience fear,
But don't let your fear guide you in your life,
Dominate your life.
When fear arises,
Don't let it take over.
Allow it to be there for a moment,
Respect it,
But meet it with the knowing that you are not living your life out of fear.
Meet your fear with the knowing that you are living your life out of trust and love.
Meet your fear with courage,
With the courage to do what you feel,
Deep within know to be the right thing.
Take the next step in spite of fear.
Even when fear is present,
You can consciously decide to go against it.
Going against fear and going with love,
Courage and trust into the direction that you know to be right.
Meet your fear with kindness,
Compassion,
Love,
Courage and trust.
Meet your fear with the knowing that everything is alright.
You may hold yourself in your arms now.
Hold yourself for your fears,
Whatever arises in the comfort and safety of your own arms.
Meet yourself knowing that everything is alright,
You are alright.
Embed this knowing deep into your consciousness,
Embody this knowing,
So that when fear arises in the future,
You are ready to meet it.
You are ready to meet your fear with love,
Courage and trust.
Hold your fears,
Hold yourself,
Knowing that everything is alright,
You are alright.
You are ready to meet your fear with kindness,
Compassion,
Love,
Courage and trust.
You are ready to meet your fear with kindness,
Compassion,
Love,
Courage and trust.
