If fear asks, let love answer. {Morning Meditation}
Last week, I kept waking up with a sense of fear. I had no idea why I was feeling it or where it came from. In the past when I have felt this way, it has meant some big shift is happening. I noticed that I was allowing the fear to flow through me. I picked up my journal with some Byron Katie quotes so I could question my thoughts about fear (The Work).
“Question your mind – then terror and fear turn into gratitude.”
“Open the mind, and the heart opens.”
“You can’t do it wrong. That’s not possible.”
I finished reading the quotes and asked fear to show me what I needed to learn – show me the gift of fear. I realized I was willing to allow fear to be my teacher (Should be interesting homework assignments!).
As I left for work, I turned on my iPod and the song, Not Afraid, by Eminem was playing.
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road
Fear may rise up and love may greet it.
