Relieving oneself of fear...and freeing up your power for living in today's world

This, if you watch these all, could be a significant "mini-workshop" that will improve your life....

When we're afraid, the fear response shuts down several parts of us.  Unfortunately, it shuts down our prefrontal cortex (higher brain).  And in doing so, it shuts down our power.  Another way it has been said is that "we give away our power to fear itself".

We want to be powerful so that we can create what we want and not just stay stuck in the fear or "against" mode.  We want to feel better and that is what the following fear exercise was about.  Regardless of which side you are on, this has value for every one, methinks.

In our power, we can be part of the solution.  (Gandhi: "Be the change you want.")

Rumi: "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field.  I'll meet you there."

May "The Force" be with you, for creating something greater in relationships... and in solutions!
