FEAR: It Can Control You- If You Let It
What It Does To You and How To Get Out Of Fear
Artwork by Carol Cavalaris
We have been put through the ringer of FEAR (False Emotion Appearing Real) these past three plus years by governments worldwide. In addition to governments, some alternative news media as well keep broadcasting about threats that may or may not happen. This information can help us to prepare for eventualities but it can also push us into a state of fear if we are not careful.
The Reasons for Fear
The global state of fear brought about an inability of many to take a step back, question the narrative, think critically and see the truth that there was no pandemic. It brought people to take a novel injection without questioning the safety. It made people treat loved ones despicably because they were in fear of family members and friends who didn’t mask up and refused the shot. The spread of fear was and always is calculated to bring about exactly this situation of division. The ones propagating fear know that people in fear will follow orders without question and give their power away to perceived authority who promises to keep them safe as long as they follow orders. On one hand, the spread of fear is a tool of control. On the other hand the emotion of fear as well as other low vibrational emotions such as hatred, anger, despair, worry is energetic food for the ones ultimately orchestrating perceptions and events to bring about these emotions. The energy from such emotions has been called loosh by Robert Monroe. It is lunch to other dimensional demonic beings and their control system. The same is true for anger emotions. Whenever my computer or other tech and software doesn’t do what I want it to do, I think this is programmed into these devices on purpose to cause us to get angry and provide more lunch to the demons. Then again, just the thought of this makes me laugh and the looshing stops.
Then there is the dark chapter of terror induced in victims of satanic rituals during which a rush of Adrenalin is induced in order to harvest it in the form of Adrenochrome.
The major fears people have are the fear of death and illness, the fear of what others think of us and the fear of losing everything.
Death isn’t permanent. We are timeless awareness that will go on forever and ever.
What others think is usually not what we think they think. People are too busy with themselves to think about others more than a nano second. Why care what they think about you for a nano second? If people you don’t like or don’t know think badly of you, who cares? If family or friends think like this, then there is a problem to begin with. They have no trust or respect for you. They have a right to their opinion, but so do YOU! We all have a lion or lioness inside ourselves but it’s blocked from coming out if we fear what others may think of us as David Icke recently said. It’s more important than ever that we all become and act as our authentic self and not be afraid to say or write our opinions. Every one of us has a contribution to make. That is why we are all here now at this time of great upheaval.
In regards to losing everything, many people have lost and regained material things. As my sister always says: “Money comes and money goes”. In such a situation it is helpful to have a critically thinking brain that works, which it doesn’t when we are in fear.
The physiology of Fear
Fear activates the most basic human instinct to do whatever it takes to survive. There are basically two ways we can respond: active or passive.
When we see or hear something that could threaten us, the Amygdala, an almond shaped nucleus in the temporal lobe of the brain is activated. This then starts up a hormonal cascade to prepare us for fight or flight. The Amygdala signals the hypothalamus which activates the pituitary gland to release ACTH to stimulate the adrenal cortex to release the stress hormone Cortisol. At the same time the sympathetic nervous system pushes the adrenal medulla (inner core of the adrenal gland) to release Adrenalin (epinephrine). In an active response, on the level of our mind, we become hyper alert and the threat becomes the only thing we perceive to the exclusion of everything else. It makes us perceive an elephant when there is only a mouse. On the level of our body, our pupils dilate to let in more light, blood flow is channeled away from digestion to our limbs to prepare the muscles for fight or flight. Tears and salivation are reduced which explains the dry mouth we get in a fearful situation. Blood is also drained from the prefrontal cortex (our rational thinking brain) making rational, critical thoughts impossible. Blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate increase, sensory input from eyes and ears is sharpened. We can hear noises that may indicate a threat, but we aren’t able to process spoken language. Blood sugar levels increase and fat is moved from storage to provide the energy needed for fight or flight. In a passive response, we succumb to paralysis when we are unable to react and freeze in the moment. Whether we have an active or passive response depends on whether the fear is perceived to be far away still (passive response) but also on how we are wired which can vary from person to person.
How Can We Prevent This from Happening Again?
To get out of a state of fear and reactivate our thinking brain, we can do a few things:
BREATHE
When we are gripped by fear, our breath gets fast and shallow. We need to do the opposite to message the brain that we are safe:
Breathe in to a count of four, hold to a count of 4, exhale to a count of 6, hold to a count of 4. This slows you down to less than 4 breaths a minute. Do this for two to three minutes until you feel a sense of peace and relaxation. This signals your brain that you are safe.
MOVE
Animals in the wild that just escaped a predator, start shaking their bodies on purpose to release fear and bring down the hormones of fear. When you are in fear, move your body, dance, shake your limbs, do a workout routine, go gardening, swimming, make love – whatever catches your fancy.
STOP THE FEAR INPUT
Fear comes from perception which comes from information we consume. To change your perception, turn off the information sources of fear. Turn off your TV, radio, stay off social media and podcasts causing you to be fearful.
ACTIVATE HEART BRAIN COHERENCE and GO INTO HEART SPACE
The Heart Math Institute has researched and developed a system to help people discover heart-based intelligence and use tools designed to help connect to the heart’s intuitive guidance. There is a constant two-way communication between the heart and the brain. In fact, there is more information going out from the heart up to the brain than vice versa. Scientists have discovered a bundle of neurons that acts like a mini brain. They call it the heart brain. The heart functions like a metronome to synchronize the body’s systems to work in harmony.
Early research found that stress causes an incoherent heart rhythm. This closes the mind and it’s hard, if not impossible, to find or perceive solutions. In contrast, positive emotions such as compassion, gratitude, and love increase heart coherence which opens up heart intuition and perception helping to find solutions to a problem that have always been there but couldn’t be perceived under the emotions of stress and fear.
What Is Coherence?
It’s the state of being in an orderly and harmonious relationship among various parts of something. The Heart Math Institute measures the heart rate variability (HRV) to determine if the heart is in a coherent state. The HRV measures the time between heartbeats. It’s normal and even very beneficial for this time between beats to vary from beat to beat. A very regular heartbeat with identical or close-to-identical time intervals between beats like Prussian soldiers marching is not healthy.
This graph shows low HRV on top with identical one-second intervals between beats and high HRV on the bottom with variable intervals. When the heart is coherent, the HRV looks like a sine wave (below graph top line). Under emotions of stress, the heart becomes incoherent and the line looks jagged.
Negative emotions such as fear, stress, frustration, anger, and impatience cause an incoherent heart rate rhythm. This affects our higher cortical brain functions and limits our perceptions and higher reasoning. By accessing positive emotions like gratitude, appreciation, love, and slowing our breath, we can return our heart rhythm to a coherent state. The advantages of being in a coherent heart state are lower blood pressure, synchronized breathing rhythm, less mental chatter, and a sense of harmony and alignment. All bodily functions having to do with immune defense, digestion, regeneration, and repair are turned on in a balanced matter. It’s also contagious. Other people around a person in a coherent heart state are drawn into a coherent heart state through entrainment. Tests done at the Heart Math Institute showed that when three people who had practiced going into a coherent state sat next to a person who didn’t know the technique and was in an incoherent state, that person’s heart switched into a coherent state as well just by sitting next to the other three people. The heart emanates a magnetic field that can be measured several feet outside the body. It’s the strongest magnetic field in the body; it’s 100 times stronger than the brain’s magnetic field. Water is a known amplifier of electromagnetic fields, and in fact a coherent heart rate of a person holding a glass of water in front of his chest could be measured inside the water glass. As our bodies consist of seventy to eighty percent water, we amplify our heart state and we can pick it up from people standing close to us. This explains why you can sense the emotional energy in a room of people when you walk in. An early experiment the Heart Math Institute did was to have a boy sit in a room with his dog and have feelings of love for him. Both were hooked up to an electrocardiograph and electroencephalograph, or EEG. Both heartbeats synchronized. When the boy left the room, the heartbeats stopped being synchronized.
There is another very important benefit of being in a heart-coherent state. We are able to access non-local intuitive information through the coherent heart because it would seem that the heart is then connected to a field of information that has been given many names such as morphogenetic field, source, God, universe, higher self, soul, the unified field, and the implicate order as David Bohm called it. The Heart Math Institute performed an experiment in which participants were hooked up to an ECG and EEG as well as a skin conductance measuring device. They looked at a screen and a computer chose random photos of either a calming or disturbing nature. The results showed that participants’ hearts knew a full 4.8 seconds before the photo was on the screen if it was going to be a disturbing photo. This is why people who are in heart coherence know that a particular person will call them before the phone rings or why some people can sense that something bad is about to happen.
There are two voices inside of us. There is the voice of the mind that can be talking or rather blabbering incessantly, going through pros and cons and looking at a matter from all sides and choosing what benefits the ego. And there is the more subtle voice of the heart that is short, to the point, and comes with the perspective of the big picture what benefits the whole.
The Heart Math Institute trains people how to go into heart coherence and sells a HRV measuring device that hooks up to the smart phone. With the help of an app, one can train oneself to go into a heart-coherent state. Research with meditators found that local violence in a city or a war zone diminishes by forty to eighty percent while the group is meditating in a coherent, loving state.
It’s the hope and belief of many that enough people will achieve heart coherence to cause a cascade effect much like the 100th monkey phenomenon to raise the global consciousness level and bring about a more harmonious and peaceful state to our planet. The collective field affects us all, but we affect the field as well. The more people live from the heart, the more the field becomes peaceful and harmonious and the more people will be affected by these positive emotions. It’s up to each one of us to change the world by changing ourselves to live more from the heart.
How to go into Heart Space
Find a quiet comfortable place for you. Close your eyes and do the following breathing practice to calm your mind, your body and emotions:
Breathe in to a count of 4, hold to a count of 2-4 (whatever is comfortable for you), breathe out to a count of 6 and hold to a count of 2-4. Repeat this for a couple of minutes. This resets your fight or flight system and tells your body you are safe.
Focus on your heart. It helps to lightly touch your heart area. Then conjure up positive emotions such as gratitude. We all have something to be grateful for. This will connect you to Oneness through your heart. Feel the expansive love coming through you.
In this space you can also ask your heart questions. Answers will be quick and short and don’t involve ifs and buts and other mind chatter. Answers from the heart are true and feel expansive.
You can also visualize what you want to manifest in your life in this state of connection and thus give it more power.
Once you are in heart space, fear will vanish for sure. You can receive reassurance from source that all will be fine, even though some tough times may still be coming. But in the end, all will be fine. That’s just a knowingness that comes with being in heart space, being connected to the all that is.
So let’s get out of fear mode and into heart space. Let’s stop feeding the demons and their control system.
