If you are hearing the debates about our economy, you are probably stressed,
confused, angry and afraid. This emotional toxic marsh is the perfect
psychic ground for your fears to flourish. Your emotions play a key role in
your capacity to activate or block the flow of the Law of Attraction.
Fear blocks the flow. Faith, as a connection to The Source, activates the
flow.
You have the power to bring your vision, as well as your needs, to the
collective table. You can have a positive impact both, in your individual
life and in the social solutions that are created at this time. In order to
be effective, however, you need to stay open to the Universal Field of
Infinite Possibilities. You must be able to access your intuitive
wisdom. Fear and stress block these abilities.

Plugging ourselves obsessively
to the "Bad News Media" until we are over-saturated with bad news, creating
more stress and fear.
There is an automatic physical mechanism of fight or flee that I cal the
Fear Reflex. It happens so fast that you may be unaware of it.
Becoming aware of the Fear Reflex and releasing it will free you from
a big chunk of stress and from the mistakes that result from fear-based
reactions.
These are the symptoms that you are in the grip of the Fear Reflex:
1.
Your breath stops.
2.
Your shoulders tense up. They move upwards and may hunch to protect
your vulnerable heart area.
3.
Your neck gets puffed up (inflamed). There are meridians there having
to do with fear and anger.
4.
You pelvis locks backwards (women) or forward (men).
5.
Your head/thoughts disconnect from your body.
6.
Your stomach churns and there is a dizzying spiral in your Solar
Plexus.
7.
Your thought processes accelerate and you dash out to take immediate
action.
8.
In the grip of fear, it feels that you cannot stop to think, that the
world will come to an end if you do not react immediately.
Here are four simple things that can stop the Fear Reflex.
1.
Deep breathing.
Hold yourself still and allow your body to breath deeply. Do not push.
Simply open yourself to the Breath of Life. Inhale deeply, allowing
air to feel your entire torso, down to the crutch. Exhale slowly and gently.
Exhalation should be at least twice as long as inhalation. Do at least 3
breathing cycles.
2.
Release tension from your
shoulders. Rotate them gently as
you exhale and shake off tension from your arms. You can also rotate your
neck slowly and gently.
3.
Acknowledge the fear
symptoms in your body and release them.
Detach from your fear, recognizing it as a normal reaction, but not giving
it power over you. Imagine that you are holding a scared child in your arms.
Bring that child into your personal protection and centerness.
4.
Use Peace Mantras. When you are in the grip of the Fear Reflex, you can hear the thread of
fear-based thoughts, some of them very old and primal. Counteract these
thoughts with Peace Mantras. Say affirmations that return you to your
center. Here are a few.
a.
“I release fear and embrace Peace.”
b.
“There is no reason to fear. I am safe and protected under Divine
Design.”
c.
I return to center and act only from my highest wisdom.
5.
Refuse to act from fear.
The
fourth article helps you take centered actions.
By releasing fear and stress and aligning yourself with positive vibrations,
you will enjoy a feeling of well-being and peace. You will be able to
sustain the free flow of the Law of Attraction as you walk through
chaos. This connection to Spirit allows you to make intuitive, wise
decisions for yourself, your family and humanity.
