When we understand what is happening when we feel those fears that hold us back then we can change our reaction to them. Rather than being controlled by them we can feel the energy and use that energy to give us direction. The thing about fear is that it is an emotion we feel to keep us safe. It is a lower energy emotion swirling around in the root chakra...think of the saying 'Fight Or Flight'. It is one of the roles of the root chakra, to keep us safe, grounded and secure. There are times when we must take heed of our fears, as when our life is threatened or experiencing serious illness. Yet most of our fears, well pretty much all of our fears are without substance, things which will never happen. It is our imagination doing overtime.

So, when is fear a good thing? Fear, in it's nature causes us to step back and look at a situation from a blinkered view from the outset. We believe in it, we believe the feelings and images it conjures up. We can then become stuck, confused and overwhelmed. However when we disconnect from the low level energy and realise that it is but our ego trying to keep us in a safe place, where we have always been it all becomes clear! It is our ego in it's own way trying to look after us.

From this place we want to move into our heart, feel the energy of our heart. Feel how we feel when we think of what it is we wish to do, how would you feel if you succeeded and everything went just as you want it to go. From here, the confusion starts to dissipate and your head will start to offer you up inspiration. So, yes, fear can be a great thing. It can help us to transcend from lower level energies into the higher energies and become inspired. It takes us from the darkness to the light, from confusion to clarity and from overwhelm to ease.

The more we move through our fears the more we can build on the experiences and feel the light of our purpose guiding and supporting us. Start with little things, ask yourself who you wish to be, do you want to serve a specific market? Ask yourself what you would offer and how if you knew everything would go as planned, the outcome would be a win win for you and your clients. Maybe you need a website, don't go for perfect, just get things moving! maybe you want to send out a newsletter, again, just do it and just watch and feel your confidence soar.
