I Release My Fear With Love
Bringing our wounds to the surface may trigger fear. Fear is at the root of all negative energy. When we are in fear we may erect walls and barriers to protect ourselves and thus shut down to love. We often repress our negative energy and shove it down with various substances; alcohol, food, drugs. And we wonder why we are blocked! If we can acknowledge this fear with compassion instead of resisting or repressing it and work to release the blocked energy, we are then free to experience increased clarity, health and peace of mind.
When you experience a negative emotion or feeling, try to acknowledge it with compassion. Be curious about it! Notice where in the body the energy gets trapped. Your stomach? Throat? Find a way to send love to this energy and release it in a positive way. For example, if you notice tightness in your throat, you could try singing, screaming or chanting. Use your voice. Does it feel freeing to release the energy instead of holding it inside? And don't forget to breathe!
