It is when we keep them locked in the prison of our mind, feeding them with circular thinking, that they affect our lives so deeply. Expand your awareness to include Something larger than your fear and try to feel your connection to that. Realize that you are imagining that you are separate from your Source and doing a lot of thinking in that context. Apply Love - Remember your heart, ask it for guidance. Ask your heart for a loving thought, an antidote to fear, that will help you remember your connection with the Presence of Love.
Fear is the mind's reaction against the inherent generosity of the heart.
Because the heart knows no bounds to its giving, the mind feels called upon to define limits. Under such tension, little wonder our choices of how to respond to the pain of others seems so difficult. Fear can be interpreted as our mind's invitation to rise to a higher level of freedom. We are not being called to run away from danger, but toward safety. We always choose between that which affirms life and what merely denies it.
