Fear has a way of stopping us in our tracks and shutting us off from accessing our innate wisdom and ability to think outside the box into new ways of being. It can torment us at the best of sleep hours and paralyze us into frozenness if we let it! Fear is a deep seated feeling that lies within our bodies and needs to be breathed through our bodies so that all the feelings beneath it (deep sadness, grief, worry, hurt and loss) can be released. Fear needs to be lightened and transformed into something more fluid. When we hear the wisdom of our fears, we can feel our deepest vulnerabilities that allow us to know we are at the edge of our comfort zone poised between old life choices and new decisions to be birthed. With Spring we welcome a lightness of being!
