Welcome to your fear release practice.
This practice can be used anytime whenever you're feeling stress,
Anxiety,
Or fear in any form including physical symptoms.
Remembering that fear is a messenger and it has information for us.
Fear allows us to know when we have stepped out of our truth.
And so let us listen and feel into the information that fear has for us today.
Take a comfortable seat in a dignified position with your back straight,
Your shoulders aligned,
Taking a deep breath in,
Receiving the breath,
And releasing.
Allow yourself to notice the stressful thought or physical symptom that brought you here today.
In what face did fear show itself today?
Anger?
Grief?
Shame?
Guilt?
What is causing you fear?
Bring all of your attention to the stressful thought.
Notice your body and the sensations the stressful thought or physical symptom bring.
Now rate the stressful thought or symptom on a scale from one to ten.
Ten being the most intense.
Our aim is to bring that number down.
So take another deep breath and close your eyes or lower your gaze if you haven't done so already.
Inhaling in through your nose and letting it out with an audible sigh.
Again,
Inhaling,
Receiving the breath on a count of four,
Three,
Two,
One,
And hold.
Release six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
One.
And again,
Receiving the breath to the count of four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold.
And release six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Inhaling,
Maintaining a slightly extended breath at your own natural rhythm.
And placing two fingers or the palm of your hand at the center of your chest.
Ask slightly or out loud,
What is the dominant fear in this situation?
What is the dominant fear in this stressful thought or experience?
The answer will be brief and succinct.
You will see,
Hear,
Feel,
Or know the answer.
And it will be as brief as one word,
Image,
Sound,
Or short phrase.
Intuition is instant and precise.
Envision this dominant fear and turn your attention to feelings of compassion for your fear.
Thank you.
Say thank you for being here.
And see it like a hurt little child that is begging for love,
That is begging for attention.
To be witnessed,
Seen,
Held.
Imagine yourself embracing your fear and be deeply compassionate to it.
You must give yourself over to this feeling of compassion with your whole being.
And let this feeling build for around one minute.
And as it builds,
Allow the feeling to expand in you and around you with as much intensity as possible.
Embracing that hurt little child with compassion and love.
And you will hear my voice after a minute to guide you back.
And gently letting go now of the embrace.
Letting go of the feelings of compassion.
Taking a deep breath in through your nose and letting it out through your mouth.
And looking around now for that stressful thought or physical symptom that you rated on a scale from one to ten.
When you find it,
Rate it again.
If the number is above two,
Repeat this exercise two more times.
Thank you for meeting your fear with me today.
