We all have experienced fear in our lives. Sometimes we turn away from fear, but what happens when we embrace it? The other day I had so much fear and anxiety about making the right choice. I let my intuition choose. It wasn’t the most logical choice. It was definitely not the choice my mother would have picked for me. I ended up having dreams filled with anxiety. Instead of backing down from the anxiety/fear, I asked it, “why are you here?” It told me, “You are pushing your boundaries.” I sat with that for a minute and realized this was my path of growth. I was pushing against my boundary of perception, my personal reality. So I meditated to release the fear from my body and mind. The next day I was in a funk. I felt a bit lost. My dreams the next night were of the theme: “Have fun!” I saw that, yes, I was on my path, doing my work. I needed to embrace the present moment and have fun with it! What if I had just backed away, shied away, from the fear?
