Joy Is The Antidote To Fear
Joy Is The Antidote To Fear
Transcending, transmuting and releasing fear is one of the most powerful and life-transforming steps you can take on your spiritual journey.
In the Ageless Wisdom, releasing fear is a step associated with the second initiation. As such, there is a myriad of life lessons that accompany learning mastery over your fear.
To overcome your fears is a challenge for everyone.
Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real
– Unknown
Ultimately learning to transmute and transcend your fears cannot be done by your personality and your personal will alone. For that reason to transform your fears becomes spiritual work.
Fear is so very deep, archetypal and integral to the human experience that freeing yourself of fear is such a significant step in your spiritual evolution because to accomplish this you must call upon the strength, the power and the wisdom of your Soul.
Find a place inside where there’s joy,
and the joy will burn out the pain.
– Joseph Campbell
As you transform your life by transcending your fears, everything changes. Each victory you make and each step that you take is profound and significant.
It is best to harness the power of your mind and practice the powerful principle that “energy follows thought” by using a technique that I call the detached observer.
To use the detached observer technique, I recommend that you pay attention to the random thoughts of your mind. Realize that these thoughts are what you are sending out on an almost constant stream as positive or negative instructions to activate the “Law of Attraction” in your role of co-creator of your life.
As you use the “detached observer technique” I have over the years recommended that you catch yourself engaging in “stinking thinking” as Zig Ziegler use to call it. Once you have noted a fearful thought, just stop and restate it into a positive thought. All it takes is to use the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self to reframe the thought and revise it, thus activating your personal will to manifest the life you desire. Ponder on this technique!
Reviewing, reframing and restating your thought is a very powerful technique that can empower you to transform your life.
If you have ever used this method, or if you choose to use it right now, I am sure that you will find buried in your previously unconscious “mind chatter” a myriad of fears you can address.
As you explore your preconscious thoughts, you may find that fears are often a component of your content.
Fear is often embedded in your thoughts of worry, which I call “praying for what you don’t want.”
Take just one minute right now to center quietly in yourself and listen from the role of the detached observer to the content of your mind chatter with the critical awareness of how much your fears are reflected in your thoughts.
Amazing isn’t it? Fear can be a large part of your life.
The transmuting and releasing of your fears is such a significant part of your spiritual journey that of all my published guided meditations I have devoted not just one, but multiple meditations to that goal, (I Am Feeling Free and Feeling Free.)
What is clear to me is that because fear is so deeply rooted in the human experience it is only by empowering the personality with the power of your Higher Self (your Soul) are you able to release your fears.
The personality can be engaged by seeking more enlightened awareness as you call upon the wisdom, the will and the power of your Soul (Higher Self or Higher Power) to transcend your fears. By so doing, you are demonstrating a powerful spiritual lesson. You are created as a spiritual being (a Soul) to work in harmony, and unity with a material being that directs, body, mind, and emotions with your personality.
In this statement above, there is both great truth but also a secret for managing your life. Ponder of this.
There is no higher purpose to meditation than to become aware of the power and magnificence of your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard
To use this higher power and this majesty to be and become all that you are meant to be and live a life of joyful abundance is the reward of enlightened awareness. It is the inherent secret ingredient in all of the ways to live in joy.
Joy spontaneously arises when you call upon your Soul and activate it as an integral part of the choices you make in your life.
That joy is the antidote to fear came to me recently while coaching someone in the release of his or her fears. It is such a significant thought and principle that I have meditated upon it for several days now.
As I pondered upon opening my heart and my mind to the touch of my Soul and experienced the rush of joy that accompanied it, I realized simultaneously that in doing so, there was no space for fear.
Miraculously, fear and joy are antithetical to one another. That led me to consider how I can use joy to conquer fear.
Lately, in my meditations, I have been experiencing the blessing, joy, and grace of an angelic presence that I call The Angel of Perpetual Joy. She is an angelic being who has had a profound benefit in my daily life. In fact, it was the transformations her presence has created in my life that stimulated the writing of my recent article, “When Angels Come to Earth.” As I stated in that article, Angels often choose to come to earth for the purpose of helping humanity.
In my meditations, I gained the insight that joy dispels fear. It is important that you understand that Angels have a role of assistance and support. The Angel of Perpetual Joy then went on to reveal in telepathic communion that Angels communicate through their union with your Soul to provide your personality a special blessing that I was charged to offer to you.
She, as an Angelic Presence will respond to your invocation by her presence to help you transcend and overcome your fears. Therefore, with both her direction and blessing I encourage you to call upon her presence in your prayers and meditations to let joy serve as the antidote to your fears.
I invite you to invoke her presence in your life; I published in my previous article, “When Angeles Come to Earth” a meditation you can use and customize that is called, “A Meditation on Angelic Presence.”
You can use this meditation to request her blessing of joy and her presence to transmute, transform and abolish your life of fears.
As you meditate upon her presence, I invite you to invoke and call upon the power and the presence of your Soul.
I believe connecting with your Soul is always accompanied by a rush of Love and Joy. However, in my experience after calling upon “The Angel of Perpetual Joy” and meditating with her, the presence of my Soul was also magnified and expanded. Such is the gift of angelic dedication to a particular purpose in life.
Because transcending and transmuting fear can be such an important part of your spiritual journey, I encourage you to use both the reframing technique of the detached observer and take advantage of the blessings of angelic presence regularly in your meditations.
I invite you to use Joy as an antidote to your fears.
Namaste,
Genevieve
The Blessing of Love on All That You Do!
P.S. I also ask your help and support to share this article with those you know who you feel would be open to and responsive to this teaching. When you consider how limiting fear can be in someone’s life, this would be an act of service and a blessing.
