Transforming Fear

Our path of evolution is to move beyond fear and open up to the fullness of our potential, creativity, purpose and joy. How do you overcome fear at a time of significant world changes and economic challenges? How do you maintain hope and cultivate positive feelings and a positive vision of who you are and what is possible in your life and in the world at large? Start by seeing fear for what it is.

Fear is our most basic emotion triggered by our fight or flight instincts. A lot of the fear we feel are collective fears fuelled by the news stories. Fear is actually caused by our perceptions of external events, not by the events themselves. That makes fear an illusion. It’s not real because it exists in the mind rather than an external happening.

Fear is contagious

Emotions are contagious and tend to rub off. Your unconscious mind; your emotional mind is very sensitive and picks up very easily on the subtleties of feelings of the people around you. In fact, it doesn’t really distinguish between your feelings and mine. It all becomes intertwined and connected as one, because at the level of the unconscious mind, we are one. So we can be dragged down or uplifted. Equally, we can have a dulling or uplifting effect on others. Being aware of this gives us choices.

Fear is a low level of consciousness

We have all walked into a room and sensed the vibes. You can feel the tension or the lightness. Emotions have vibrations. Some, like stress and fear, are dense and low in vibration. Others, like love and joy, are light and high in vibrations. Higher vibrations are naturally more uplifting and expansive. When you dwell in fear, you dwell in the lowest state of consciousness that is more constrictive and limiting. Stress and fear can cause dis-ease.

Qualities of Consciousness

In the Negative: As is evident from the emotional scale above, if you dwell in lower emotions too long, you can experience apathy and your energy becomes more constrictive, rigid and solid. You can’t make decisions because you resist change. You want things to stay the same. You want to BE right. You take life too seriously and are motivated by safety and security. Stress and fear can make you ill. You feel like a victim of circumstances, feeling life is unfair. You can drag people down with you. People around you can find you draining.  People at these levels tend to be risk-averse. They remember past failures and generate a lot of ‘what if’ type mental chatter. Ironically, what we put our intention on, grows in possibility and prevalence.

In the Positive: Higher up in positive emotions of willingness, gratitude, excitement and enthusiasm, there’s more movement and flow in energy. You become more expansive and you have more space to create. You are driven (not by financial security) by a vision and purpose. You feel energised and healthy. It’s easier to come into your own power, to be creative and to manifest positive outcomes. Abundance is a natural outflow. People who cultivate positivity and dwell higher up the emotional levels, are playful and happy. They don’t take life too seriously. They take full responsibility for their own experiences. They have a contagious enthusiasm. They have strong positive intentions. They want to DO right. They feel inspired and serve as an inspiration to others.

We Always Have Choices and Options

We become what we repeatedly do. We become what we feed our minds. The unconscious mind is as open to suggestions as a young child and takes everything for real and personally. So whatever news content you take in has a profound impact on your unconscious mind; your emotional mind. There’s a lot of noise generated in the world right now. Collectively and individually we are experiencing immense change. Only you know what’s right for you. Following your own path is essential for your sense of freedom and well-being. Following your own inner radar, will fill you with the dynamic energy to create your own destiny. This implies cutting through all the noise, confusion and fear. Beyond fear, within each of us, is a space of innate well-being and peace. That’s where you want to dwell and from there you want to flow your creativity in your own unique way. Your inner radar is often feelings-driven. Your feelings are subtle, intuitive messages, so it’s worth tuning in, listening and following your own inner truth.

Calm doesn’t come from some change in the external world. It has to be cultivated from within. You always have a choice between fear-creating constrictive stories or uplifting inspiration that expands and stimulates the creative mind. The mind really needs a break from digital input. The mind needs stillness for you to tap into your intuitive wisdom and inner guidance.

Balance the input with quality silence; time to reflect, to listen within. That’s where you will find what is true for you. Also spend some time doing something enjoyable and creative. When the creative mind is engaged in the present moment, it expands and ideas and inspiration can get through.

Your mind is immensely creative, and the possibilities are infinite. What you focus your mind on is a conscious choice. What you focus on, you energise, expand and make more of. Focused thought expands the probability; the likeliness of that outcome.

Your nervous system is designed to bring about what you think about. Embrace your creative energy by channeling it constructively and positively into enjoyable projects. Align yourself with your destiny and set big intentions that drive and fulfil the vision of your more expansive higher self.

Keep on doing your inner work to manifest outer change:
– Release your own fears and doubts
– Integrate your own ego into your higher greater self
– Open your own heart and live more from your heart-space.

Continue to create light, good health, peace and joy in the world. Do so through thought-intention, visualisation and by being the light in the world.

It is the Season of Heart

This is not your average Christmas season, yet communities are already being creative and consciously heart-based in how they connect and spread love and cheer during these current circumstances. Challenging times can bring the best of inspiration out in us. We’ve just finished a 12-week online Mastery Meditation Course with a fabulous group of people supporting one another during these times of restrictions. We’ve come through this year, which in itself is enough reason for celebration. You’ve been through deep transformation that’s refined you on your path of growth into self-mastery. You are leaving a lot behind and can indeed step up into more of your higher potential, as this world needs your unique contribution. Here I’m sharing some of the key themes we’ve been exploring on our courses this year…

Mastering Heart-based Consciousness

Heart-based consciousness, is the new era consciousness – an evolutionary shift we are collectively making right now. Coming home to the heart, activates feelings of love and compassion in an unconditional way. The heart-mind is far more powerful than the brain as it receives information first and then passes it to the brain.

Living in the heart and making true decisions with your heart-mind from a basis of love and intuitive guidance, are key mastery practices. In the heart, you begin to work more with your feelings and intuition to access your truth.

Heart Coherence

Heart-coherence is a state achieved when you shift your focus into the heart and activate heart-based feelings such as love, caring and appreciation. According to research done by the HeartMath Institute, heart based coherence reduces stress and restores health. “Coherence is the state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation,” HeartMath Institute Research Director Dr. Rollin McCraty says. “It is a state that builds resilience – personal energy is accumulated, not wasted – leaving more energy to manifest intentions and harmonious outcomes.”

In Western Society we have valued the brain and its logical intellect over emotions for far too long. We seem to have overlooked the power of the heart. According to this latest research, the heart-brain is more powerful than the head-brain (thinking brain) and has a vastly expanded electromagnetic field; much bigger than the head-brain and it extends several feet from the body. Our heart energy therefore dramatically affects those around us. When in this space you are more expansive, resourceful, connected and in a state of flow. The heart-brain seems instinctive and intuitive as it senses information in the environment before the head-brain – and even before it happens. This is your own system of future precognition. It makes sense therefore to make decisions from the heart, intuitively; honouring that gut-feel. Heart-based consciousness is the new 5th-dimensional way of being.

The Link Between Love and Health

At the Institute of HeartMath experimentation with positive intent has shown a boost in the immune system. Negative thoughts like anger, depression, blame and frustration, have been found to suppress the immune system. DNA observed under a microscope tightened up and became shorter, some of the genes were shut down, limiting the range of possibilities we can tap and choose from. When they focused on positive emotions such as love, joy, gratitude and appreciation, the DNA strands began to relax and unwind, allowing an infinite range of inner potential to be tapped.

Dr Masaru Emoto’s intention experiment proved the same. Dr Emoto, author of “The Hidden Messages in Water” (2004), said that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. He performed a series of experiments observing the physical effect of words, prayers, music and environment on water. The water would then be frozen to form crystalline structures. The crystalline structure of the water imprinted with positive words was far more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing than those imprinted with dark, negative phrases. If our words and thoughts have this effect on water crystals, just imagine what kind of effect they have on people considering we are 70% water.

By being more love and light-filled, you affect the world profoundly. Instead of efforting to change the world by battling with external events, true mastery is healing and forgiving your inner perceptions of the world and changing judgmental and fear-related perceptions to positive loving perceptions, remaining non-attached and compassionate. Mastery is working on the source of the problem, the mind. Mastery is overcoming fears and doubts, and restoring your mind to its natural condition of love and light.

Fifth Dimensional Consciousness

Heart based consciousness is transformational. As we shift from head to heart, from separation and ego to true unity, we transform our consciousness from fear-based to love. The 3-dimensional Earth, the plane of karma, is where we experience the duality of light and dark, good and bad, right and wrong, other and self – all the opposites. We learn and gain great insights through experiencing duality. To move into 5th dimensional unity consciousness, we have to integrate all duality in us: head and heart, ego and true self, fear and love. We also have to evolve our consciousness beyond any idea of good and bad or right and wrong or you and me or past and future. The 5th dimension is one of integrated unity, connection, light and love. We finally get the mind out of the past and the future, settling in the joy and expansion of the present moment of now. Shifting into the heart, naturally brings you into the present moment where all is well.

The heart therefore is a gateway to higher consciousness. Through love, acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, generosity and joy, you open the heart and naturally expand your energy field; your field of consciousness. You then feel your connection with everyone and everything. In a state of heart coherence your energy, good health and youthfulness naturally returns.

The Healing and Creative Power of Love

Our true nature is love, joy and peace. To realise this, we have to identify and dismantle the ego’s illusions, for it is our attachments to the illusionary material world of the ego, especially at this time of the year, that prevents us from experiencing a festive season that is truly peaceful, loving and magical. Opening our hearts, opens us to the true spirit of Christmas – one of joy, connection, giving, receiving, peace, love and goodness for you and everyone around you. Love, compassion and kindness bring profound healing to the giver and receiver alike.

Heart based Practices

Heart expansion

In your meditation, bring your breathing and awareness into the Heart Centre. Being centred in the heart, naturally expands the electromagnetic field of your heart centre. Feel yourself connecting here to the source of love, light and joy.

Flow and Trust

Even amidst uncertainty, confusion and noise, stay open, flowing with life and trusting that everything ultimately happens for our expansion and evolution. Your heart is the seat of your intuitive guidance. Only you know what’s right for you. Following your own path is essential for your sense of empowerment and well-being and will fill you with the dynamic energy to create your own destiny. This implies cutting through all the noise, confusion and fear. Beyond fear, within each of us, is a space of innate peace. That’s where you want to dwell and from there you want to flow creatively, remaining open to what comes across your path. The universe is benevolent and infinitely supportive when you flow with life and live your purpose. Flow opens you up to the magic of life and the magic of the resourcefulness that’s already in you.

Healing

Bring healing to yourself, others and the planet through visualising and positive thought-intention. Healing takes place when loving high-frequency light transmutes negativity and dis-ease. Healing can be sent over vast distances. Respecting free will, always intend that the healing is in their highest and greatest good. Detach from the outcome, accepting what will be, will be for their greatest good.

Gratitude

The quickest route to the heart is a practice of gratitude. Gratitude connects you to all the goodness in your life and restores your sense of well-being. A daily practice of heart based gratitude has been proven to dramatically increase your levels of happiness.

Blessing

Practice the gift of blessing. It evokes powerful divine energy. What you give, you receive. It can be done in meditation and also just by means of a loving thought or a good wish.

Meditation

This Christmas, enjoy this meditation to shift into the heart.
