I come in contact with so many individuals who are living in a fear-based reality. Fear has affected their state of mind and their decisions. They have become more compliant, more willing to surrender their rights for vague promises of safety. They are less demanding and less willing to take risks. They are security oriented and less open to new possibilities - all because they see the future through the eyes of fear.
Fear distorts what you see. It focuses primarily on the negative, highlights potential threatening, dismiss alternative options, and causes you to compromise your values out of the urgent need to survive.
Fear can even shut down your intuition as well as common sense. When you live in fear your life energy is lost to dread as the body braces and the heart closes in anticipation of what is to come.
So, how is it possible to live in this world, face the things that we encounter every day, and still confidently say, "no to fear"? I have the answer! Living a fear-free lifestyle is not only possible - but it is something you can do.
We have help. We are not alone. We have a God Who loves us, provides for us and protects us. God' Word has already stated He loves us so much that He wants us to know exactly what to do when we come up against difficult times in our lives.
I can quote and mention various scriptures in the Bible that speaks to us regarding fear. But due to not wanting to make this blog too long, I will only use one. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." NKJV
This is God speaking to me and you. Yes, that is correct. As you continue your daily physical Yoga practice, find time to deepen your spiritual practice too. You will inevitably encounter all your fears, some of which you may not even know are within you.
Much love,
Joseph
