Fear as a Motivator

Living in the US, we are assaulted by the media always beating the drum of fear. According to the media, we have a Big Bad ready to destroy us (currently terrorists), our food giving us a slow painful death with heart disease or cancer or whatever the disease of the week is, deadly airborne viruses spreading, our neighbors killing each other with guns, our water supply being poisoned by fracking, etc. Additionally, we have advertising enticing us to eat the foods we should not be eating and telling us we will be unloved and unsuccessful unless we buy this lipstick, those shoes, or lose another 15 pounds. We are manipulated into stressing ourselves out with long commutes to earn money to buy all the stuff we do not need, the stuff that in some cases is killing us to keep the entire failing system going. All of this fear and paranoia allows the government and authorities to keep us under control, distracted from remembering just how powerful we are. They do not want people knowing that they do not need to take those prescription drugs or that free energy is available to everyone. The collective of fear that has been created affects each of us daily even if as individuals we keep our televisions off to avoid the nightly news and advertisements.

We all have dreams and things we would like to accomplish in life but we look to the past and pre-judge the outcome in our present. We remember the disapproval of others or outright failures that happened when we tried in the past and become paralyzed about doing anything that might bring wonderful changes to our present. If you are following your heart which is guided by your soul, there is no failure and what others think is irrelevant. Only how you feel about yourself matters. The Universe fully supports our intentions when they come from our soul and will cooperate with us to allow them to manifest in our present.

When you felt fear in the past, you may have chosen another path to avoid a person or situation. Going forward, when you feel that fear, know that you are being called to action, instead of turning away or trying to ignore it, face it. When you stand up for yourself and speak your truth, you can feel the empowerment and a lightness of being. I have been witnessing co-workers who have never had the courage in their lives to defend themselves, now standing in their power when unjustly confronted by authority figures. Afterwards, they are amazed at themselves for speaking their truth (and realizing that nothing “bad” resulted) and I am so proud of them while knowing that their little victory is a victory for us all. Every time one of us stands up and faces our fears, speaks our truth, it lessens the control of fear in the collective.

When I have to confront those I know are living in a fear-based reality, I always speak to their Higher Selves knowing that the current selves they are projecting into the world may not be ready for what I am saying or may retaliate in some way, but their Higher Selves are listening. I view these people with compassion knowing that they are not guided by their hearts and are insecure in their own personal power. When you change your perspective from viewing such people as ignorant tyrants to lost souls gripped by fear, it makes daily life a bit easier to navigate when surrounded by others who have not yet reached the same level of spiritual awakening that you have.

When I do chakra readings, almost everyone has a blocked solar plexus chakra. This chakra is the center of personal power, the “I Do” chakra. People have been conditioned into not standing up for themselves, to dim their lights and conform. Power now for the most part denotes something so negative that most people want to reject that part of themselves more than any other part but that power is the very divine light within you -- the part of you that is connected to our creator and all that is. In order to heal yourself emotionally, embrace your dreams, and evolve on your spiritual path, you must take back your personal power that you have allowed others to take from you.

All you need to do is make a declaration that you are reintegrating all of your personal power that you have given away to others over the years and it is done. Yes, you are that powerful. Then remember to congratulate yourself when you  notice in your daily life that you have stood in your power and spoken your truth. Even a little affirmation is a sign of self love and love attracts more love to you -- including love from others.
