Fear, Part of The Darkness-Within

Friend, foe, teacher, adviser, companion. Fear is all these and more.

Trust it or hate it, either way Fear will always be a factor in your every day life. It is a part of your make-up. An integral part of the inner workings of the mind, part the Darkness-Within.

Fears that we face daily are innumerable. Fear of failure. Fear of accomplishment. Fear of change. Fear of stagnation. Fear of letting go. Fear of holding on. Fear of loss. Fear of gain. Etc...

We fear and we fear Fear for a myriad of personal reasons, yet Fear will always be with us. Fear is such a constant in our lives that we should learn to live with it, to stop ignoring or shutting it away, and to truly listen to Fear.

Yes,  we need to learn to be with Fear. Be open, honest and present with Fear.

Develop an understanding, if not a friendship with your inner Fear. Get to really know your Fear.

Who is your Fear? Why does your Fear do or say what It/She/He does?

Let me give you a glimpse of who my Fear is.

My Fear is a petulant teenager full of anger and sometimes hate. She doesn't mean to be that angry but She has had a lot of promises broken and She has felt a lot of hurt. She is really just a scared little girl. A little girl that doesn't want to be hurt. A little girl who has a lot of scars.

She can screech like a banshee. She can whisper tearfully. She can beg and whine. She can be loud, obnoxious, and very rude.

She doesn't mean to stop me. She really just wants to warn me. If I don't acknowledge Her, She can and will get louder than my Intuition. She will get louder in order to get attention, just like a teenager will. She just wants to be heard, just like a teenager. She will say very nasty things to get my attention, just like a teenager.
She can learn to trust me as I can learn to trust her. She can learn if I am gentle with Her and acknowledge what She has to say. I have to treat this part of my Darkness-Within as I treat my own children.

I will not stifle Her nor shut Her away. She is the part of me that helps to me stop and analyze the next step I am about to take in my life and why I am doing, saying what I do. She is the reminder that  I should be very aware. That I need to be present in my life.

Learn who your Fear is. Talk to your Fear. Do not fear your Fear any longer.

I can help you find out who your Fear is and why He/She/It does what it does or says.

Are you ready to look into this part of your Darkness-Within? Are you willing to know your Fear?

Blessings and Love,
