Freedom is Befriending Fear
“Separate or One?” asks Love
Fear of flying, nuclear war, being unlovable. Fear of heights, robbery, being abandoned. For the thousandth time I’ve been reminded that at its core, when we are brave enough to look at our fear in the face and talk to it, asking it questions and listening for its replies, fear all boils down to the same thing —
our collective illusion that we are separate from God, nature and each other.
Our belief in separateness holds our familiar illusion in place — until we're ready to let Love show us freedom. Freedom in the way we move our bodies. Freedom to make choices with a clear mind. Freedom to feel the powerful creators we are. Freedom from our illusion of separateness.
Befriending our fear is step one.
Dying, snakes, public speaking, heartbreak. These fears are common. Fear awaits us while we’re being human. While that’s not uplifting news, complaining about it or pretending like it doesn’t exist only makes it worse.
Choices made from fear prolong our suffering.
Choices made from Love create more freedom.
It’s that simple.
Love is the only thing that heals fear. What kind of fear awaits your friendship, your full embrace, your truth telling courage, so it can be alchemized to show you freedom?
That’s a wrap for today. I’m sending shorter newsletters at least until after Christmas, because we’re all overstuffed with busyness and ads this season and I don’t want to overwhelm you; I want to love you.
On that front, exciting news! In January I’ll kick off my Making Love to Fear DEEP DIVE Masterclass for women, a 6-week online course supporting you to alchemize your pain and fear through the most powerful force in the universe — Love. This Masterclass makes a gorgeous gift for a woman who is ready to revitalize her Life in body, mind and spirit. If that’s you or a woman you love, email me to get on the waiting list. Details coming this week.
Here to love you~
