If you have found your way to my website and blog you are likely at least familiar with the idea of our planet going through an evolutionary leap at this place in time.  One of the things that is changing is the elimination of the fear program that has provided a baseline for our evolutionary experience for a very long time.  That may not be news to some of you.  It is a concept that has been rattling around the New Age movement for a long time.  The interesting thing though is the implication to animal behaviour programs on Planet Earth.  Think about it…how does fear effect our lives?  What does it even mean that the fear program is being deleted?

To understand this more clearly we need to take a few steps back and understand the role of fear in our original design.  The most obvious and clear layer of the purposefulness of fear is our immediate reaction/response to a clear and present danger.  Horses are a great example of this…when they are in danger their prey response kicks in and they run, brains turned off, all resources redirected to produce flight energy and they go until they have run a further distance than their “natural” predator can chase in a flat out run.  The horse then reevaluates its safety and if it does discern itself to be safe then it will redirect its attention (and as a result its nervous and endocrine systems) and move on to another task…usually grazing.  Grazing is a task that makes a prey animal naturally vulnerable so when it goes into that position it is pretty sure things are okay.  That is the basics of how fear is designed into Earth animal (including Human) physiology.  Of course the details are different but the concept of…….perceive true danger – react – recover and reset …….is basically the same.  This attribute is designed to keep us alive and uninjured.

But this system has become a whole lot more than this.  Fear is now a chronic condition.  Our planet has entered into a fear response en masse and never emerged out the other end to begin grazing again.  Few of us even realise it or know what it is about.

What does all of this mean to us in a more practical sense?  Our bodies, our cells, our nervous and endocrine systems are stuck in a fear response.  This is the stage with a horse that their bodies redirect energy and thought to emergency functions and they are running for their lives.  We have stepped into a loop of flight (or at least flight response) rather than to stop and reevaluate our safety.  The result in humans is their emotions become numb and emotional exhaustion soon follows.  Our emotions are linked to our endocrine system (think hormones) and that is the beginning of what can be a break down in our physical health.  For sure it is a set up for a breakdown in physical and emotional health.  But I don’t want to focus on the specifics of physiology at this time.

As a species we have stopped listening to and FEELING ourselves so we are no longer functioning from a place where we can easily and clearly discern between perceived and actual danger.  It is a different part of the brain that perceives danger and responds to it…..and we are stuck in perpetual response…….. we have misplaced the system that allows us to make this shift back and forth…..the react, and reset / recovery shift.

Think about this system and how it works.  How it may be working within your physical and energetic bodies and what the results may be.  Do you have a chronic fear response?  Do you even FEEL enough to know if you do have a chronic fear response?  Do you fear things that have no reference point in your life?  Do you fear things that you have never had a negative experience with and therefore don’t have a direct and personal experiential fear response created out of your own guidance system?  Do you feel fear (or is your body in a physiological fear response without the experience of the emotion) but are in no current and present danger?  Do you think that fear keeps you safe or instilling fear in children will keep them safe?  Do you rationalise when you feel fear but someone else has suggested you are safe?  All of these are symptoms of a beautifully designed human guidance system in need of a reset.

• Here is my suggestion for right now.  Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Do this as many times as it takes until you feel calm and at peace.  That may be 1 minute or 20 minutes.
• Focus on your belly while doing this breath exercise.  See how soft you can make it.  Say over and over in your head if you need to …..”soft belly, soft belly” and take your breath right down to your pelvic floor to release any tension that sits there.
• Say….. “I ask and intend to release all fear in my physical cells now…..releasing deeply and transmuting that fear into a new and beneficial energy and replacing it with the energy of LOVE.”  Then say… “I ask and intend to release now all thought forms and thought clusters that hold the frequency of fear or are related to fear, and transmute them into the energy of LOVE”.

I am going to leave it there for now.  You can use this short meditation anytime you would like to reset to your own, original energy as a baseline.  Check back for part 2 where I will speak of how to get out of this perpetual response and potentialities for the future.

Until next time thank you for sharing….Heather
