We don't know how to feel our fear in a way that allows us to move through what's keeping us locked in immobility and resistance. We either come to fear our fear, or we want to avoid feeling it, or we can become overwhelmed by our fear and the stories that wed us to that experience. But what happens when we can just bear compassionate witness to the fear we feel? Like removing a boulder from a stream of water, we are released back into the flow of life. It's a practice, learning to be with our fear in a contained and balanced way, but on the other side of it is more freedom and joy.
