What’s the cure for fear? Fearlessness? Avoidance? Rationalization? The answer is…none of the above. Fear is something we all experience, and even though it dresses itself up as different things (anger, diminishing or attacking ourselves), the same thing happens. 

When we’re afraid, we make an enemy of everyone - even ourselves. We become internally gridlocked so we can’t problem-solve. We fall into whatever reactive pattern we learned early on to cope with our fears. 

Thankfully, there is a better remedy which we all possess. The only true solution for fear is presence. We have to locate ourselves within the fear and move it through our bodies with something as simple as wiggling the body a bit. 

What are some simple fear-melters that will allow us to not be ruled by fear? How do we create even the tiniest doorway to presence? In this episode, we talk about simple but profound tools for shifting from fear into flow.
