We all know it. We all feel it. But what really is fear?
- There is this common description of the acronym:
- False Evidence Appearing Real
- There is a humorous way of looking at it:
- “F_” Everything And Run
- And then there is a mindset shift… a possibility I like to tap into when I am feeling in the grips of fear:
- Face Everything And Rise
Although it is uncomfortable, fear is like the body’s version of caution tape. It is a way of alerting the body to danger. Sometimes there’s real reason for fear. But sometimes the mind can play tricks. It’s only human. Just as it is a natural reaction to run (or freeze) from fear. But what if, depending on the situation of course, it wasn’t something to run from?

What if fear was a way of your body, of your inner GPS, telling you that you are about to leave your comfort zone? That you’re on to something? That you’re about to learn and experience something new? That you’re learning to navigate change and the uncertainty that comes with it? That you’re in the process of transition or transformation? That you are about to have a breakthrough?
If getting in tune with your body or strengthening your relationship with your own inner navigation system has been on your mind, let’s set up a time to talk… I’d love to hear about your situation and share how Reiki and I can help you.
May you have PEACE, LOVE & CALM - today and every day.
