What to do when I am afraid?





We enjoy the emotions of joy, happiness, and love yet, it is so easy to really dislike the emotions on the other end of the emotion scale. In writing this Seasons of Change, it was my desire that we learn at some deep level that we are all interconnected and part of a thriving and flowing whole. In reading "Leap of Faith" by Pema Chodron I was remined that each emotion only last about a minute to a minute and a half. It is our reactivating the emotion that keeps it happening again and again. I remind myself and others all the time that each time we tell the story about something we feel negative energy around in essence we are inviting more of the same. Regardless of who started it, we are the ones who must keep it active for it to affect us.  

Day 67: today look at something that you currently are afraid of. What would happen in your life if you were to substitute that fear for love?
Over the last ten years of my life, I have had a day by day journey with my fears and turning them over to love. Being someone who had the dance with cancer I get to have several ct scans a year. I remember when this first started I was so afraid. I put so much energy into having a joyous journey with cancer yet, I knew I did not want to take that journey again. Rather than try to resist it I would lean into it. What do I mean? 
I would ask myself questions, what does my internal knowingness feel about this? What are the cells in my body telling me? What kind of game can I make out of this? Once I started asking questions I involved my whole being rather than just the ego when is based in fear. I began to make the event a photo shoot for my internal organs. I would say to the technician make sure you get some good pictures I may want some 8 x 10's of the really good ones. Laugher is one of the great healers we often over look. When we are living in fear it is hard if not impossible to laugh. One of my great tools on my happy list is watching a comedy. Laughter is a great way to transform an emotion to a higher vibration. 
Another fear I had was the fear of not having health insurance. I know that so many of us in the U.S. do not have health coverage. This was something that I once again had to ask my higher self for help with. I had to put my trust in the universe to provide for all my needs, and wants. I once again begin to ask myself questions. Did the universe provide thought out all of my medical procedures? Do I see any reason why it would stop supporting me now? Am I willing to put my trust in something that has proven itself over and over again? 
One of the great take a way's from doing this work on a daily basis has been this divine knowingness that I am cared for by this amazing creative consciousness. It is always working to insure that I have not only what I need but, what I want as well. My responsibility is to know this is true, and live from a place of love verses one of fear. 
By leaning into the emotion and asking them questions I find that any fear I have releases the hold it has to love. Now that is a joyous thing. 
I love you!
