You tremble, you sweat, you feel paralyzed, the hair stands up on the back of your neck, you feel like you\u2019re going to pass out.\u00a0 Almost every negative physical reaction has come to us through fear at some point or other.\u00a0 Particularly, I\u2019m referencing the fear that comes from watching the news, from imagining dangers or what-ifs that aren\u2019t actually staring us in the face.<\/p>\n

As we let fear linger, it affects our sleep, our blood pressure, and other physiological symptoms.\u00a0 Next thing we know, without even realizing it, fear has created more problems than whatever it was we were afraid of to begin with.<\/p>\n

For that reason alone, we shouldn\u2019t allow it to stay.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what Haanel wrote about it in Lesson 22, \u201cThe problem, then, before us in the healing of disease is to increase the inflow and distribution of vital energy throughout the system, and this can only be done by eliminating thoughts of fear, worry, care, anxiety, jealousy, hatred, and every other destructive thought, which tend to tear down and destroy the nerves and glands which control the excretion and elimination of poisonous and waste matter. \u201c<\/p>\n

According to HuffPost<\/a>, there are 80 references to \u201cFear Not\u201d in the Bible.\u00a0 My favorite is 1 John 4:18, \u201cPerfect love casts out all fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Easier said than done.\u00a0 So how do we conquer this invasive beast?\u00a0 Mark Januszewski, in his course, Master Key Experience, suggests that we can choose Faith or we can choose Fear. \u00a0To recognize that the Omnipotent is ultimately in control, through whichever religion you follow, and that everything is in the process of moving toward its higher purpose for existence.<\/p>\n

In The Language of Soul<\/em>, Harold Klemp advises, \u201cWhen love enters the heart, no room is left for fear or doubt.\u201d\u00a0 One way you can apply this is to replace your thoughts of fear with thoughts of love.\u00a0 Focus on someone or something that you love very much and let your heart fill with that love. \u00a0Move your thoughts back to this sense of love and joy whenever you feel the fear starting to rise again.\"\"<\/p>\n

So, fear not.\u00a0 Tap into that glorious creative side of you and find your own tools to replace fear. \u00a0Please share, if you\u2019re so inclined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
