Fear can be a crippling state, especially if I remain unaware of my triggers and continue to push down and away the very feelings that surge within me when fear takes hold.

I have found that understanding the physiology of emotions to be a powerful way in to knowing myself and healing the parts of me that may linger in the very states that hold me back. Fear, guilt, shame, jealousy, and anger are but a few emotions that I regularly sit with. I say, “sit with,” not “look at,” because these emotions have become like friends. I listen to them, honor and acknowledge them, and utilize practices that help me to better understand when and why I am activated and feeling fearful.

In this class, we looked at what fear is and how it manifests emotionally and physiologically. We evaluated the behaviors that may accompany fear, recognize when they are present (however subtle), understand the areas of the brain, particularly the amygdala, that play a major role in fear activation, and learned a few self-care and client-care tools to help nurture and calm our fears.

What we learned:
~ Identify, Write, Speak, Listen
~ Cultivate the Exhale
~ Universal Position in Reiki
~ Gyan Mudra with Breath & Movement
~ HPA Axis Reflexology Guide (self-care / client-care)
