Years ago, while getting dinner ready in the kitchen, I was in one of those states where my mind was consumed with negative chatter.
My mother was in the hospital suffering from late stage cancer in what turned out to be her last week before her transition to spirit.
My family was in an uproar. I was beyond stressed and trying to figure out how I could drop everything and figure out child care so I could go and be with her.
Suddenly, the negative spiral stopped and my mind yelled to the universe this question:
Why do I have to feel so much fear?
Every once in a while we have an experience that touches our soul.
Immediately after I yelled this question, I actually got an answer.
The first thing I remember thinking was, “Thank you, for being right there on my shoulder.”
I have no idea how that angelic being got the words into my mind past all the chaos in there.
I knew the words weren’t mine because it really wasn’t what I wanted to hear.
The answer was:
To learn not to be afraid.
I was completely stunned. I had no idea what I needed to do, but I knew I had to do something.
How do I learn not to be afraid?
How do you transform Fear into Trust or Love?
Wow! Ask a question of the Universe and you certainly receive a myriad of real life opportunities creating fear to learn how to transform it into Trust or Love.
Not long after my mother passed away, I registered in a Shamanic program. Over several years, in sacred space, I stared my biggest fears right in the face.
It was a fascinating learning into the depths of my being.
In my daily life, I began to notice that what started as events or facts became over amplified by my own imagination and emotional response.
When you strip everything down to its event or fact, that is all it is.
And it can be dealt with.
This brings me to another question as we watch many in our collective human family become consumed with fear in these intense days of extreme polarity.
I invite you to hold space with me, as our human family learns how not to be afraid.
P.S. I would LOVE to hear your stories of transforming fear into trust or love. Please respond to this email and share your story. I celebrate with you.
