Can you recognize the dark side of fear and move toward the light of love?
When we hold on to our fear, we block any love that might come to us and any love we might want to give. We actually block the flow of energetic love that could move through us, and back out into the world.
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
At some point in all of our lives, we have experienced fear. It can be an underlying current of anxiety or it can be total terror. We can be aware of when and why it’s here or we can be completely unconscious of it.
I refer to the little girl, ego, thoughts, etc. which usually have a fair amount of fear around them. Even if the emotion starts out with anger, frustration, or sadness, it is cloaked in fear. We all have fear regarding certain situations. The most important thing is not to act out of that fear, but rather to recognize it, track it and transform it into love.
I was talking with a client today and we were discussing when that lower part of her is trying to control her partner because she is afraid. She is afraid of him never showing up for her the way her little girl needs him too, or she is afraid of him not doing what’s in their kid’s best interest. Either way, she has expectations of how he needs to be and is in a state of fear when he isn’t.
We discussed what it looks like to live in our higher self, walking with our higher power and if our higher power is fearful. Our higher power is pure unconditional love and acceptance. Our higher power, whatever this is for you, God, Jesus, The Universe, Source, has NO fear!
Every time we get triggered, an element of fear will come up. The most important thing in that moment of fear is what action we will take. Will we allow our lower self, little girl, to lead the way, or will we lean into our higher power and be guided by pure love?
“Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.”
-Marianne Williamson
Choose love over living in your wounded self. Take the action that is about love, not the action of the little girl that is drenched with expectations and fear.
