Overcoming Fear
by Ian Cameron
“Our thoughts swing between
regrets or anger about the past and fears of the future.
The result is stress and health problems. So live
in this wonderful moment…”
—Excerpt from the breakthrough book, Heal Thyself
by Ian Cameron
Fear weakens us. It invites stress and illness into
our lives. It silently affects every aspect of our lives
– our health, relationships, even our finances.
So how do we overcome this fear? How do we attract health,
happiness, and peace of mind? There are a number of
ways. First, you can simply observe the sensations in
your body when fear arises. When your heart races, your
chest tightens, the adrenaline pumps, and the butterflies
flutter in your stomach, be with all of these sensations.
Observe the unpleasant sensations caused by fear, go
deeply to them, and they will dissolve. Every emotion
in the mind has a corresponding sensation in the body.
So when we observe sensations in the body, we released
them, and our mind becomes clear.
Another powerful weapon against fear is to realize that
you belong. You belong to God, to the universe or some
power. Find comfort in the fact that God is taking care
of you. He is taking care of all your concerns and worries.
God is right there behind you one hundred percent. You
are not separate from God. You are part of God. He is
looking after you in the same way that a mother looks
after her child – with total love.
See the impermanence in everything. Everything is changing
within you and around you. The world is constantly changing.
You are not the same person you were last year. Emotions
come and emotions go. When fear arises, know that the
intensity of the fear is always changing and that it
will soon subside and disappear. It is not possible
for the dark cloud of fear to permanently obscure the
sun, which is the joy and love within you. All clouds
move on. A great strength comes to us when we see everything
as impermanent.
We can empower ourselves even more by simply letting
go. Fear is clinging onto something, holding on, and
not letting go. But what can you hold onto in this life?
Nothing. It’s all flowing, dissolving, and growing.
Life moves like a movie. You cannot stop the movie and
hold onto any one frame. Let go and let God. Let go
and the shackles off fear and worry will fall from you.
Yet another trick to overcome fear is to realize that
you only have the present moment. Right now is all that
exists! We are anxious about the future. We torture
ourselves with disturbing thoughts of what will happen
tomorrow, next week, or next year. But these are only
imaginings, nasty tricks played by our minds. Live in
the present moment. Meditate, and dive into the profound,
healing present moment.
Fear creates a physiological imbalance in our bodies
and we feel stressed. If we are stressed over a long
period, we soon begin to suffer from a certain type
of disease. And the fear of having a serious illness
makes us feel even more anxious, which exacerbates our
health. A downward spiral of fear soon brings us despair
and misery. But, with a little courage, we can spiral
back up to good health. Above are a few powerful ways
of achieving this and I encourage you to try them in
your daily life. You will feel lighter, have more energy,
and be happier!
So, why do we suddenly feel so much better after applying
the principles above? The reason is that we are attending
to the very source of the mind, which is pure consciousness,
pure love, and love is the highest healer on the planet.
Love is not an emotion – it is your very existence.
An infinite ocean of love exists within you. By applying
the ancient wisdom above in your life, you bathe your
mind and body in this vast healing ocean within, cleansing
yourself of fear, stress, and illness. You quickly find
relief, feeling calm and refreshed.
Compassion for others suffering led me to write, Heal
Thyself, a 242 page, poetic sharing of how to create
a fulfilling life. In this book, I show you how vibrant
health is possible. We need to take a closer look at
our own life. Stress and health problems can be overcome.
Greater happiness, enthusiasm for life, and peace of
mind can be experienced. With an understanding of ancient
wisdom, life loses its seriousness and becomes a fun
game to play.
Wishing you health and joy,
Ian Cameron, Author of Heal Thyself.
