Abundantlee: Embracing Your Fears :D

I have found that quite often when I encounter difficulties, my very first reaction tends to be that of judging others and putting the blame on them. It is usually after some introspection that I realize that difficult situations are in fact the universe's way of mirroring for me issues within myself that need my attention, and that the solution can always be found within, not without. It is about changing myself, not others. Others may seem like the cause of my problems, but they are however not the root cause. It is only when I look within that I realize that it is out of my own fears and insecurities that I often reacted negatively.

I used to face my fears with fear and resistance, and that did not help much in releasing my fears. It was only when I stopped resisting and started embracing them that I managed to release them. That is the key - not to resist our fears but to embrace them. It is to face them not with hate but with love. To understand the fears of the Lower Self with the light of the Higher Self.

In allowing our fears to surface, and then facing and embracing those things which cause the fears will result in the gradual fading away of our fears. Why? Because that which we become familiar with loses its power over us. Because in the eyes of total acceptance everything is seen as divine!

Embracing our fears as well as the objects of fear will also enable us to experience a fuller and less distorted view of our reality. We can then see that all is just an experience, an energy, a vibration. It can be good, it can be bad, yet neither good nor bad!

In embracing our fears, we are also simply following the basic teachings of the sages which is to accept and embrace everything, not just the good but also the bad, not just the beautiful but also the ugly, especially within oneself, for love begins at home!

Fear is a teacher brought to us by the universe to help us evolve. It can either paralyze us or enlighten us. It can either imprison us or liberate us. Which choice have you been allowing?
