FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real

Given all the conditions that are giving rise to worry, anxiety, and fear in our world, it’s natural that many of us find ourselves struggling with what the Buddha called unhealthy fear – which occurs when we become trapped in a kind of spiral of our own stories about what the future holds for us. This talk explores how we can use our practice to take a good look at our own fortune-telling skills, and discover more calm and ease by examining and questioning some of these predictions.

Thank you for this beautiful talk, it was what I needed today.
I'm awaiting scan results, the fear of those words ( What If ) had spiralled so bad my thoughts have been out of control.
I can't thank you enough for helping me understand, I will listen again to your talk. 🙏

I randomly took a hard fall getting up in the middle of the night. My ribs hit a paint can and supplies, I had been preparing to paint my bedroom the next day. It nocked the wind out of me as I lay in fear. I got an ice pack and lay back in bed. I put the two words fear and health in the search bar and your talk was just what I needed. I felt seen. I really appreciate your kind words. You helped me through a pretty scary situation. I have osteoporosis and I live alone. I fear a scary health related situation can happen to me and no one will know or help. I’m glad I turned to Insight Timer because I can always find help with whatever I’m going through. Much love 🤗 and gratitude 🙏🏼
