Releasing Fear

By Ed Langan

This time, they asked me to write about releasing fear. Obviously, this is an important topic at the moment. There is a lot of fear in the collective consciousness, and the good news is that there are solid techniques to release it.

What is fear? Fear is an emotion.

“Your emotions are communication from your higher self to your conscious self.” – The Guides

Your emotions are how your soul communicates with you. You have a thought and then you have an emotional response to it.

Let’s talk about emotions. How many emotions do you think there are? The answer may surprise you...

There are two emotions: love and fear. On one side of the spectrum, we have all these flavors and degrees of emotion that all feel good. And on the other, we have flavors and degrees of emotion that all feel bad.

Here’s a question for you: is fear good or bad?

Your instinct is probably “bad.” However, fear actually isn’t a bad thing when you understand what it is.

Fear is your soul letting you know that what you’re focused on right now is causing you to ask. You are not in alignment, and you are not allowing your energy to flow.

Fear is just communication. Once you receive this communication, you realize that there’s no reason to hold onto fear. So how do you get back into alignment and release the fear? You release fear by changing your focus. If you continue to focus on things that cause you to feel fearful, you are attracting more of it.

There are a few dependable strategies that you can use in your everyday life to shift your focus and release fear:

1. Your Breath Use your breath to change your focus. When we get scared or fearful, our body goes into “fight or flight” mode. In that physiological state, our breathing becomes shallow.

To shift that state from fear to love, breathe in as deeply as you can. At the top of your breath with your lungs full, breathe in just a little more (like you’re taking a sip with a straw).

Sip a few more times until you can’t do it anymore. Hold for a second, then let all of that out with a big, relaxing exhale.

Visualize yourself releasing the fear as you exhale. For some, giving fear a color or a pattern helps to visualize this.

If you’re still feeling fearful, keep breathing like this until you feel better. It might take a few more rounds than you expect.

2. Your Body When you move your body and circulate your energy, your focus can shift entirely.

For example, if you’re sitting down and feeling fearful, stand up. If you’re standing, walk around a bit (or sit down and relax).

Notice new things in your environment as you do this. How do your legs feel when you shift your body? How does your breath change? What new perspectives do you notice?

Changing your physical state can immediately change your energy flow, and thus, your focus and your emotional state.

All of this is really about focus. Your focus determines your emotions, and you are completely in control of what you focus on. When you’re focused on the sensation of your breath or the feeling of being grounded in your body, you are far less likely to feel fearful. loving side or the fearful side of the emotional spectrum?

Worry is asking, “what if something bad happens?” To receive the answer, you have to release the fear. Because the true answer is always, “what if something GREAT happens instead?”

Letting go of worry is similar to releasing fear. Breathe it away. Move your body. Change your focus to the best possible outcome.

Another way to release worry is to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping. This technique helps reduce anxiety and move energy throughout your body.

If you don’t know how to use EFT, I did an EFT tapping session on releasing fear as a guest on Neshi’s Star Nations Live Stream Show Communications From Home last month.
