The Seven Primary Fears

As I look around I see more and more people stressed, fearful and overwhelmed. The world appears to be spinning faster, and as it does our fears are churning up and rising to the top, to be released no doubt.

Some years ago my dear friend and mentor, Dorothy Cunningham, gave me a lesson on the seven primary fears. Let me share those with you briefly.

The fear of abandonment

This is a primal fear that each one of us holds by virtue of our birth as human beings. It is a reminder of our separation from the source and from the womb. This is not an individual or exclusive fear.  It plays out in our lives over and over again as fear of rejection.

Fear of lack

Resources are necessary for survival. Fear of lack arises out of a mindset that believes that resources are finite. It is based on our memory of physical evolution in which survival depended on control over physical resources. It stems from the ignorance of the fact that the universe is an infinite and all abundant source. This fear plays out in our mentality to hoard and to cling on to things or relationships that have served their purpose in our lives.

Fear of humiliation

This fear is rooted in our lack of self worth - the inability to see value in ourselves. It is the fear of criticism or making a fool of ourselves, because our sense of worth is so dependent on approval and recognition by others. It plays out strongly in our constant need to conform and be socially accepted.

Fear of pain and illness

Pain and illnesses are signals that call to us to change the way we conduct our lives. Till such time we are able to accept this view, we will continue to see pain and illness as random external events on which we have little control.

Fear of aging

Fear of aging is rooted in our judgment that youth is somehow more desirable and superior to age. It is our inability to perceive the richness of age.

Fear of failure

There is no such thing as the fear of failure. It is our fear of success. Successful people have historically been persecuted, ostracized, envied, robbed or murdered. Our collective psyche recognizes success as an unsafe experience. So we camouflage it as fear of failure. And by dwelling on failure we sabotage our chances of success, and actually fail.

Fear of death

Fear of death is really the fear of change. We resist change because there is greater comfort in the known past than to venture into the unknown future. The journey to spirit is a journey into the unknown. Resisting change kills our spirit. The more we fear death, the closer we draw it to us by denying life.

These are our mind's conditioning and interpretation. Once we allow the mind to get a new perspective, our fears slowly melt away and peace returns.

Sacred Heart Space Meditation.

This is one of my long time favorites from Drunvalo Melchizedek. It is short. It is sweet. And it is extremely powerful once you allow yourself to really get into that sacred heart space. Enjoy.

Self Acceptance: Meditation for Busy People

(Click here to download meditation)

We are our own worst critics. We all have parts within that we find hard to accept and even harder to change. These parts seem to have a mind of their own. We end up spending a great deal of vital Life Force energy in harboring these negative self images and robbing ourselves of fun.

Here is a simple first step to acceptance. Acceptance alone will open the door for change.

Spiritual Intelligence in Search of Global Unity

Spiritual intelligence is the heart’s way of inviting us to live through greater love. It is higher consciousness constantly carving out our path of evolution. Yet, the heart’s language makes sense only to the aware and to those familiar with their own true spirit.
The human heart is truly amazing. A thing of beauty to poets, artists and lovers, the heart has remained a mere pumping device to scientists until recently. Now research is revealing the extraordinary role the heart plays in human existence, closely corresponding to the view ancient spiritual teachers held. Some significant findings:
The heart has a consciousness of its own, separate from the brain.* It is the seat of the soul – spirit’s gateway into us.
The heart interprets shifts in the energetic environment and signals the brain, which informs the rest of the body.** The heart is in charge.
The heart can operate beyond time and space coordinates. Laboratory research*** shows the heart reacting to an event before it has occurred. We call it premonition.
The first cluster of cells in the human embryo begins pulsating as the heart. Embedded within this heartbeat is all the information and impetus necessary for the development of the human body in the womb, and growth of the human spirit throughout one’s lifetime. The heart remains the master conductor. When the brain and the rest of the organs are in coherence with the heart’s vibrations, we are in perfect harmony.
Spiritual intelligence initially taught us to survive — physically and psychologically. We saw ourselves as separate and we became strong with resistance training – pushing against one another. Now it is time for heart-speak. Spiritual intelligence is coming through to teach the human spirit to thrive. Only in the 21st century is the collective human mind evolved enough to aspire across national borders towards global unity.
Our way of seeing the world and the rules of living must change quite radically. The heart accepts everything as-is without judgment and sees no separation. Separation in the mind is a mere reflection of our own distance from our higher self. All threats we perceive outside are our own sense of inadequacy.
Global unity is best served by complete love and acceptance of oneself and others, releasing all judgments. Simple, though not easy, this is the most critical ingredient for unity – within and without. Just as we would not judge a child for not knowing trigonometry, we cannot judge the spiritually inept for fighting wars. The spiritually intelligent solution is in neutralizing their fears with the heart energy of love and creating a safe environment energetically.
Fortunately many tools are available today to accomplish this. Open heart meditations, heart coherence practice, energy tools are among them. Internal integrity is imperative. We need to do this as much for ourselves to alleviate stresses as for the rest of the world. Spiritual intelligence guides us to turn inward. Once we do all the little details of outer action fall in place.

Reiki: The Entryway to Fourth Dimensional Living

Have you noticed how the old tried and tested methods of resolving problems are not that effective in the long run? That problem may be physical -- pain, discomfort or disease, or menta and emotional. It's as if the universe is pushing us to find new solutions to problems old and new. And it is. Mankind is progressing from three diemnsional to fourth dimension reality. And understanding our energy system is the first step to that.

of all the ways weknow to connect with energy, my personal favorite is the way of Reiki. It is gentle, loving and most easy to connect to. Once you learn to tune into Reiki, a whole another world starts to open up for you, and those irresolvable problems slowly start to dissolve.

Things About Water You May Not Know

We all know that without water we cannot sustain life, but few are aware of the depth to which water affects our being. Consider these:-

--The quantity of water on the planet has is constant like energy. It changes form, no one is making more or can take any away. Water is energy in liquid form.

--Water has consciousness and an intelligence of its own. And now we are discovering that it  has memory too. In the past decade Masaru Emoto has demonstrated multiple times how quickly and efficiently water picks up the vibrations it is exposed to. This little video clip re-affirms that. As soon as you come into contact with water it picks up your unique imprint. How cool is that?

--Water and humans have always had a wonderful and intimate relationship. This beautiful element not only replenishes, cleanses and quenches our thirst, it also exchanges vibrational imprints if you will. So when we are happy, the water around us is happy. The reverse is also true. And every molecule of water will pass on to the next its emotional memory.

Then, consider this, just like the planet, we too are predominantly water. Whatever goes on with the water on earth, in some way reflects in our body -- calm, quiet, turbulent, angry, raging -- we feel it, however subtly. But most of all it reflects in our emotions.

Water is the element of our second chakra, the 'swadhistana', that which anchors our emotional body. Water and we are connected in deep emotional ways.

So what does it all mean? What is the significance of this new awareness? It's enormous!!

As evident from the events of the last few months, the water on this planet is in the process of rearranging itself. Floods in desert plains, droughts where water was plentiful, storms and hurricanes more than normal have surprised us. Its sheer unpredictability has left us all wondering. What can we do?

I can suggest a few ideas.

• Treat water as a conscious being, a friend. Thank the water for what it does for you as you drink, wash and bathe. Never take it for granted.
• Pray, love and meditate over jars or jugs of water. Charge it with pure and high vibrations. Then ask it to heal and purify larger bodies of water, including our bodies. Pour it with gratitude into the nearest river, stream, pond, lake or well. Let the good vibrations spread through the water.
• Whenever you hear any upsetting news about storms, floods or hurricanes, get together in groups (or alone) tune in to the water energy and send it calm loving thoughts. Ask to neutralize the agitation.

Thoughts have power and water pickes it up. It has emotions. We can now start to awaken to these gifts and befriend them.

Loving and thoughtful presence, always.
