“Where your fear is, there is your task.” - Carl Jung
I agree….when I’m scared of something,I have to do it or depression slithers in….🕊🇺🇸
Everyone should have Carl in their lives. Once you have him, you'll reference him forever! Peace!

A number of years ago I decided I would not be ruled by fear. I felt fear one day on a walk. I ignored it thinking - I’m not going to be controlled by fear anymore lol. So I kept walking and as I was about to pass a car that was blocking the sidewalk a HUGE and angry/frightened Rottweiler charge at me barking and growling and trying to break away from its leash being held by a tiny little 12 year old kid. The kid held on with all of his strength. I walked past and I realized that ignoring fear was an act of my ego. I’m loving this video because understanding if fear is assisting me and keeping my body safe or if it’s a conditioned response of separation is so important! Thank you✨
Same thing happened to me, except I was hit over the head by a gang of 3 teenagers. My fear had told me ahead of time, "cross the street or go back in the house". I didn't, because I thought the fear was a form of racism and so I didn't move.
This video reminded me that I trained myself to all but extinguish fear because I thought by doing so, I would no longer be controlled, either by my own anxiety or the anxiety of my parents. I started by shutting off my night light and forcing myself to sleep in the dark.
I am committed to taking a more loving and gentle approach now. I will also learn when to separate myself from toxic influences.
Use your intuition.
yeah definitely need to listen to the intuitive hits to keep one safe, definitely a great message you shared. ❤
The dog probably smelled your fear from afar. Embracing fear is a new concept for me i am loving the video
The concept that fear is like an alarm clock has served me well. The first thing to do when the alarm sounds is to shut it off so you can think clearly without the jarring distraction. Once the fear alarm is shut off you can assess the situation with a calmer attitude.
Bravo 👏🫶🏿👍🏿💋🥳🤩
Wonderful! I'm still struggling to find the off button these days
Especially when a nuclear blast occurs with you within the zone of death aka death radius.
fear can be different in situations where decisions are required in seconds and fractions of a second; fear helps to react to a situation faster as an injection of adrenaline increases the body’s reactivity
Thank you.
Love can hold Fear, but Fear cannot hold Love ❤️🔥
Some believe love is weakness and fear/ hatred is strength when love is stronger than both
How could light be compared to darkness?
This reminds me of a time during my awakening where every time I closed my eyes I would see little monsters. They persisted until I acknowledged the fear and sent them love. They smiled are never came back.
Next I’d love to hear your take on anger after an awakening. 😘
I find anger to be a surface level emotion that's hiding something deeper, defending you from feeling it by encouraging you to project onto others
@@rongikeyes i heard anger is a secondary emotion usually to sadness.
@@GingeRenee Or fear...
Yes. All of the above.
Been meditating on these things, yet still dealing with a major block. All of which is coming up like never before.
I’m 6 ish years into this. I’d like to get out of this.
Laying on the floor in surrender a lot these days.
Thanks for everyone’s input.
Look into trauma based mind control. Ties right in.
The way I have learned to be 'friends' with fear is by staying as NEUTRAL as possible. It does take practice. I worked in vocations that many people regard as 'scary', that's how I learned for myself to feel the fear and do it anyway. It's very FREEING to practice this. Thanks to The Alchemist for such beautiful insights.
Be a safe space for fear. How poetic 🎯
This might be one of the most important and impactful videos yet. They are all amazing but addressing fear this way is imperative for both our spiritual growth and for the survival of our kind, so thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
I would like to add that blocked negative emotions get stored in the body and are felt as tension. We can release them by fully feeling them without resisting or holding on. It has to be experienced to fully be understood, but when you get it right, there is a tremendous feeling if lightness and bliss when the energy is released. It is also important to know that we function on many levels simultaneously, so the less you’re identified with the body and instead can feel yourself as part of the infinite field of awareness, the easier this process will be.
Thank you for this, Sarah. As much as I don't like to be in the vibration of fear, I remind myself when I'm confronted by it that, more often than not, the very thing we fear sometimes holds the treasure we seek. It's a comforting thought for me when I'm at my lowest. Thank you once again for your beautiful insights. Sending you much love and blessed be. 💛💛💛💛💛
Much love!🔥💖🔥
"Fear sometimes hold the treasure we seek".... totally.... 😌💜🦋
Hey , I didn’t want to look like a real sado by leaving the first comment two weeks in a row…. Oh who cares? I can’t live with fear of what others think 😊
That's right don't fear anything my friend. They feed off your fear dont give it to them. Have a beautiful day my friend just remember your a being of light
Do people actually look to see who is first . ?
@@doloresledesma1765 probably not 😀
Other's think? 😅
I doubt anyone would even notice. Good for you for doing it anyway.😊❤
I'm a paranoid schizophrenic who's had active hallucinations, visual and otherwise, for years. Fear and anxiety was all I knew, it felt like I was in constant fight or flight mode. An example for an hallucination is people from a certain group breaking into my apartment with a chainsaw, it was a bad time.
Thank you for your lectures here on youtube, you are doing a great job here
CONGRATULATIONS on CONQUERING YOUR FEARS, MY BROTHER!!!
if its NOT a loving thought...or voice...or impulse...TELL IT TO SHUT THE F∆€K UP!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
or give it a hug...god snugglies!!!
i meant good snugglies...but its cute😘
I recently saw someone who channels say that schizophrenia is like having access to all your past lives. I'm curious how that resonates with you?
Fear, consciously integrated is our best guide for our next self discovery stage in our lifetime process.
The more Aware we become, the more Darkness drowns~

The more aware I become, the louder and more awful; my darkness becomes. The most aware I become, the less control I have. When will the darkness start drowning instead of controlling me 24/7?

Utilize _Proper_ judgment (discernment), especially regarding yourself.
This is a process, my friend. Kindly provide some space for grace; you deserve it 🤍.
You are really that good! You're a great teacher. Thank you!
On the other side. of fear is love. Every time. 🙏

Since childhood we're taught to think without feeling when we are better served by feeling without thinking.. One must recover from the Lies We were taught and rediscover the Truth of Love 🤍
We are best served when we think with both.
@@user-dt9ix8dw7c feel and know with your heart, no need to think about it.
@@user-dt9ix8dw7c overthinking is a disease of the ego mind, let 'it' go
@@user-dt9ix8dw7c how do you know if you're overthinking?
It’s all about reprogramming our minds from what we have been conditioned to believe. Feeling comes from our heart space, our intuition. Our divine intuition is what guides us. It’s our inner compass. Relying on our inner compass should supersede the spoken word. We have to relearn/reprogram our minds to believe in opening up to feeling energy levels. The higher the vibration, the better the vibe. We have to learn to allow our metaphysical properties guide us. That we can trust where our inner compass is guiding us (away and towards).
Thank you for the dharma reminders intruding upon the dumpster fire reports so prevalent in this electric circus. Fearlessness is not easy to learn in this world, but hey no kung fu is ever earned by an easy path. I have been noticing the flicker effect increase lately, and the drag of the old things I used to really worry about is no longer there. In times when the suffer is heavy there's utterly no other noise; birds are my other kin guides in many ways and audio cues is one of them. The chickadee has a sound that led me into deep fears, beyond before I learned to talk. It was heavy and terrifying, felt like nothing in the whole universe but my sense of attack and the sound from the little bird triggering it, like the bird's sound just poked a hole in my perception.
On goes the belly breath and this is the mighty key that returns me back to center much more quickly, and even when it feels like being Frodo alone with The Eye it's like watching it on the screen of my senses while also feeling the ongoing wave of the walk, stepping soft and accurate and walking at a low cardio pace enough to make it aerobic but far below any huffing and puffing of breath, even plugging my ears and humming my own sounds, carrying headphones both as just earmuffs and with sound to obscure the triggering intrusions temporarily.
I'm reminded of the Alchemy process by yesterday's Arcanum Luminarum talk by Lon Milo Duquette on the Egg archetype, shown in the Thoth Tarot in the sequence of Magus, Empress, Lovers, Hermit, and the fusing process of Art which is Temperance in most Hermetic decks. And then my Saturn power, the essence of Kung Fu in the East and Craft worthy disciplines in the West. The grit to stay with it, keep breathing and stepping mindfully upon the Earth, to keep the storms from challenging people in my path, the gentleman outside is battling orgres inside and no one but the wild animals and spirits know it, and me doing the thing which is always rooted in the belly pump cause with out that the wisdom might be floating around somewhere, but the human ain't conducting it. Alchemy includes Saturn which is the patience to sit through the process and let it bloom when it blooms.
Trying to impatiently end my hell trips early just makes for more unnecessary suffering. Staying with the disciplines to keep the breath wave going and calling upon the allies in the light even when feeling alone in the dark with the Eye; it's only dear Shiva who has come to divest me of the things preventing my powers from coagulating on Earth so far. Venus Cazimi new Moon! Life is reborn all the better when the hell trips are done with patience and attention to details.
4:50 I'm going to give an example of me releasing some trauma the other day from my PTSD. Because I think it really kind of hits on the note of what you're saying.
So the other day I was having a hard time and was having an episode and my heart rate was up pretty well, but I was shaking really bad. And my breathing kept trying to get messed up and I had to keep focusing back on it.
I was in the middle of working, so naturally I kind of tried pushing it aside. Which is always a mistake, but my attention was elsewhere....
So then I heard a voice, It was my higher self, saying you know the drill. Feel into it.... So I attempt to feel into it.
I say I can't find it....
Then my higher self says well. Where is it? And I said it's nowhere.
And then I started cracking the f****** because that was the lesson.... Wasn't even there.... Now some people are probably reading this thinking what?
I know some people will understand. But it was there and everything, I was having a hard time and there is trauma in my nervous system that's been working out. And the drill I use is to find the center of that, but often there's no center because it's a network with many centers. And I have to bring the whole network into my attention to let it go. Which is not that easy.
So when I was scanning to do that, there was no centers in this network. It was almost like it was remnants of a network of trauma. And it was gone as instant as my higher self asked. Where is it?
If you're going through any trauma or even just have a physical injury. Feel into the center of the center of the center etc etc of that injury... Make sure to give it your loving attention.. often it will help to even visualize the golden white light. Maybe not necessary but I think it just adds another layer of attention to it. For me I often do better with my eyes opened, which is a weird thing from but I have all sorts of weird things like that so.... Always feel into it though, because if you don't find it how do you hope to let it go?
And if you search for it but it's not even there. What do you have to let go?
@Tap_Profile_Sms842 what's up? Sorry, but it'll be hard to have a decent convo in the comments.
Wow you hit the nail on the head for me thank you for the in fo that really helped me.❤
@@JohnMack-dg6uu You're welcome John! Glad to help. It's a messed up thing to go through, especially when it's intense cuz our society doesn't really get it yet. And well you can't even really go to most doctors and get what you really need... They at least understand PTSD... Not the general public. They understand it exists... That's about it. No, no real thought into what it actually means or would feel like, so no true empathy. I didn't have any either.
And I didn't understand how some of these things caused people trauma. I still don't completely. Not how it gets stuffed down so well at least. But I do now understand that it's way less the situation or circumstances, and way more how you perceived it.....
Thus, meaning, you have to understand that everybody's subjective experience and views are just that their experience. And it's real to them whether it's mental or physical for you to see.... Same with pain...
But yeah I think a lot of guys are going to have a similar issue going through drug addiction because we have so many in opiate addictions.... So I do think that my info and experiences is useful for some people and unfortunately will be growing.....
Because you don't hear many people talk about it being a network. They constantly talk of if it's going to be one little spot... And I think this is what they talk about as complex trauma.
Completely honest though. John, I don't know that much about PTSD even though I have it. It's by design, because I realized right away that if you took the approach of reading everything about it. You're only giving it more life an exasperating it.... That doesn't mean not to study or know anything.. only what's necessary to rebuild your parasympathetic nervous system and exercise it while you're sympathetic. Loses its strength that it has... And it's very unfortunate. Our society, todd if you need help like me because you lost your house and are sleeping in your car.., well I am enticed to be a victim and take a victim mindset every time I ask for help.....
And we wonder why so many of us have a poverty and victim mindset. It is nurtured at all times basically.....
So being that you're going through some of this, that's your biggest thing man. Make sure you do not take a victim or poverty mindset.... Or it's going to try to trap you. Then the next trap is going to be a spiritual ego mindset.... Certainly better to be there than in the poverty mindset. However still not good... The one where you think you're special because something really cool happened that doesn't happen to your everyday guy... Yeah watch out for those. And I shouldn't call them traps because they're really just lesson. But I found myself trapped before so.....lol
And the main things I've done to help myself have been ice bath, breath work and meditation along with affirmations......
I've been very adamant about letting the energy flow. I feel and symptoms actually kind of guide themselves. Sometimes I'll give them a little push like a feather in the wind. At one point because of all the muscle cramping and spasms I was having, I had a real hard time doing breath work proper. So I accidentally pushed my Kundalini energy up. Big mistake.... Do not ever push anything in meditation.. You can seriously injure yourself.
If you're experiencing any of the symptoms I went over, I want to refer you to Forrest Knutson youtube channel. Check out his exercises. He has beautiful clinical information from a Yogi's viewpoint. That's perfect for westerners to learn all of this...
He's basically been my teacher even though I don't know him. Sarah has been a little bit too. Good luck! Here's to an optimal healing!
Dude. Fuckin A my experience sometimes to a T. Happened exactly and I mean EXACTLY like this a couple weeks ago at work. I also have CPTSD. Anyway just got back yesterday from a 5 day grippy sock vacation and I’m detoxed off alcohol and 5 days sober. Fuck yeah dude it’s so relieving and comforting to hear sometimes I’m not the only one
That is an amazing analogy! Thank you ❤😊
Best talk on fear I ever heard! . Relax to expand rather than relax to submit to fear. That's what my higher self has said so often when I tighten up due to fear and it's talking in my muscles, joints and fascia.It's gone within 30 seconds and feels like the aura expands too... Expansion dilutes fear until it appears absent but then just a programme running in the background but not the dominant force.

Thank you for yet another enlightening video 🙏🙌💜
I’m compelled to share an experience I had with fear, in 2018. After 6 months of debilitating anxiety (developed after a non-integrated psychedelic journey), I finally one evening decided that I was going to try and meditate (which I had been avoiding for those 6 months, as it triggered anxiety attacks). I had written down a quote from Pema Chodron, along the lines of “place your fear in a cradle of compassion and love”. So I sat down to meditate and the moment I started tuning in, all of my anxiety symptoms came up; heartbeat running wild, lost feeling in my limbs, etc, but I trusted my ability to regulate this with the tricks I’d picked up, so I stayed in meditation despite all the red lights. The strangest shift happened: all that cortisol buzzing in my body transmutated into a rosy golden light, and I experienced myself disappear while expanding infinitely. An oxymoron I have since recalled from my early childhood (as a small child; approx 3 yr, I had these sensations of disappearing infinitely whilst expanding infinitely, they were so intense I had to open my eyes).
I became the observer of all of the phenomena in my body, yet I was unattached. I literally observed how I could be sitting upside down, or my legs were miles long, reality was malleable and flexible. The rules of gravity and time and space did not apply. I sat like this just observing my mind doing it’s thing, until I decided to come back and start feeling my body again. As I ‘resurfaced’ I broke down in joy and gratitude. My whole being had been blasted with golden light for an hour, and I was so grateful for having trusted myself -this was a non-egoic gratitude. I was ecstatic for the rest of the night, in awe, and almost in disbelief that something that profound could have happened to me. It doesn’t sound like much on paper, but this experience was much much wilder than any psychedelic journey I’ve ever been on. Just by going through the eye of the needle (my fear), and staying with it. There’s so much energy in fear to be harnessed.
Since that evening, my anxiety has been gone. It’ll come back every now and then in a much more diluted way, and it won’t linger. I’ll see if I can discern if it’s appearing to inform me of something.
Much love to all of you warriors of the heart 💜
Yo. This entire message just opened up a whole ass door in my soul. I can’t believe what just happened and how this helped me understand and process the way I think about fear. It’s like it’s whole own soul or spiritual or universal being that is afraid for me and trying to communicate omg 😳
I have really bad CPTSD omfg I needed this
This is so deep. As a lifelong martial artist, I can so relate. Everytime, before I got in the ring, my brain was paralyzed. It took decades for me to process my fears but for me, it was combat sports, that helped me process my deepest fears. It was the exact feeling of the parent coming home...would they be angry and harm me or would I be okay? The more I got in the ring, the more I faced the opponent that was my new mother wound. The more I accepted that "yep, I'm feeling fear, but Im gonna work through this" the less restricted emotionally I was. The whole process has taught me as I age, that fear is a deep message for me, not to escape but face. This is such a deep video.
Perfectly said❣ Thank you very much Sarah 😊 this is perfect to share with friends and family that are struggling.
💜🙏
I keep it fairly simple , ,..
I AM an eternal being,.. what is there to be afraid of.
Ahhh eternity? As the eternal singular, conscious being in existence. With no choice not to be. That could be a little bit of a fear inducing thought don’t you reckon?

Understanding the Singular Dance of Existence,...
Dear fellow adventurer,
I know the thought of eternal existence can be overwhelming; however, let me share how I came to embrace it. Understand that 'being' is not the only state available to us. In fact, there are infinite modes of being, anything one can imagine being, you already are, have always been, and will always be.
We often think of existence in terms of linear time, choosing to forget that we are the singular entity, the 'I AM,' and opting instead to immerse ourselves in the illusion of separateness fostered by the ego. If we were fully aware, we would understand that we are alone as the singularity for eternity. Without the divine play, there is only a void where not even darkness exists. The first awareness was of darkness, which then beckoned the light into being with "Let there be light."
Everything emanates from the 'I AM'-there is no 'other' from which to create. To choose non-existence would leave no one to acknowledge that the 'I AM' ever was. Only in existence do we encounter the illusion of time; in the timeless eternal being, we are both the moment of creation and the void of singularity.
This is the secret of the 'One.' The realization that being the 'I AM' can be intimidating-not being able to cease existing. But here is a profound lesson I happend upon: In our life review, typically imagined as occurring after death, we relive our lives not from our own perspective but through the eyes of those we interacted with. If one harms another, during this review, one experiences the full impact of their actions, not as punishment, but as enlightenment-a means to truly understand the effects of one's actions from every perspective touched by them.
This review isn't just about empathy; it's about truly understanding that there is no separation between self and universe, or between beings. What seems to be 'other' is actually part of the singular dance of existence. Before wisdom, there must be ignorance; for if I knew everything, there would be no journey, no dance at all. Every belief in 'otherness' is a divine secret, obvious only when pointed out.
In truth, there is no 'and', there is only 'is'. The concept of separation is a play of the divine, allowing the singular existence to dance in the form of many. Remember, just as an eyelash is not separate from the eye, we are not separate from each other or from the universe. We are all part of this magnificent dance, playing our parts in the grand scheme of the cosmos.
Embrace this dance, dear Friend, for it is through these steps that we come to know ourselves and the universe as one in times of our own timelessness.
P.S. (I teach nothing, I simply remind you that you knew it all along.

It reminds of growing up. Going through milestones like little children stepping into the unknown, like walking for the first time. The fall seems scarier than taking that first step. Love the explanation. We as adults have forgotten that fearless child within to face the world.
✨Don't fear, my fear. ✨Feel my fear. ✨Develop intimacy with my fear. ✨Fear makes me constrict and teaches me about separation.✨ Thank you Sarah for this very valuable lesson 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes 🙌🏻! I’ve been showing my fear compassion and really hearing the reason behind the fears. “I believe you and I’m sorry you’re afraid” and “it’s a real risk we are aware of.” “I promise you i won’t allow this to happen, now that I know what you fear.” I’m looking to shift it out into the open (Saturn in picses) is shifting subconscious fears by addressing them head on and hearing the truth, releasing the attachment to outcomes. It’s going to continue until Jan 2025.
Fear is but a mere test that we must conquer, for it is the nourishment of malevolent forces lurking in the shadows. Do not succumb to fear, for you are a beacon of light in a world plagued by darkness.
@Tap_Profile_Sms842 why
@Tap_Profile_Sms842 Reflect on your actions, for engaging in online trolling only serves to sow negative cosmic karma upon yourself. Your foolish ways will only bring harm upon yourself in the grand scheme of the universe.
I remember when I was in a fear-based state... I was attacked by entities in my sleep often.
When you can prove you're fully in control, your fear will trust you more to take hold of the reins and stop feeling the need to panic, hence it becomes a relationship of mutual trust between us and fear!
Great explanation of fear! I have also experienced that there is a lot of subconscious fear that comes up with mindfulness practice.
Great insights in this video. Love integrates. Fear disintegrates. I see that the ego uses fear to establish individuality. The ego doesn't care how we feel, as long as we feel separate. That's its job. The passage from fear to joy is the spiritual journey. We can experience fear without identifying with it. Your video about self-awareness and self-inquiry is much appreciated. Love and validation is the way to listen to fear. Holding fear like a dirty diaper baby. :)
This explanation is so spot on! I was placed in some fearful situations thru a job assignemnt where for 2 1/2 yrs, every day, I practiced this. Thru constriction and expansion fear was transmuted and dealt with in a positive manner. Thanks Sarah, very few can explain fear like this:)🕊
Yesterday I just encountered Fear! Fear of Darkness without knowing why😂. So I decide to look into it. Ask my inner child: ok. What do you fear when we’re in a completely dark room? She said getting hurt without knowing who and where comes from. So I said: well, it’s a good way to practice our intuition and clairaudio skills. I mean my listening skills. So I imagine several unknown form beings attack me from nowhere in the dark room. And I use my strength to resist their attacks one by one. Then I have no fears anymore. Coz I know I can handle it. 😊 with this practice I realise I need to practice my super skills more ❤. And you’re right, fear is a way for us to overcome it so that we can upgrade ourselves. Fear is a friend who help us grow stronger
Good ol' Pachad. Luckily, it can be transmuted into Geburah with Gedulah.
I must not fear, fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is that little death that brings total obliteration.
I will allow fear to move through me and past me, and when it has passed, I'll turn with the Inward Eye to see its path.
When the fear is gone, there will be nothing, only I will remain.
this is exactly what i needed to learn about today - i'm newly recycling some old fears and feeling veeeeerrrrrryyyyyy low - thank you ! now i have a way forward ❤
Thanks so much Sarah! And thank you for introducing me to the concept of infinite love and gratitude which has helped me recognize and manage fear. I've noticed when faced with a difficult challenge and if things are not going as expected, I stop for a moment and just contemplate using "infinite love and gratitude" as a sort of meditative state.....and like a miracle, very soon afterwards things just sort of work themselves out. I thought it was a one-time deal so then decided to start paying attention and every single time that's happened, its like magic. It is very weird but very welcoming. So, with that......infinite love and gratitude Sarah!
it helps me w insomnia...when i remember..lol
❤
Thankyou so much , Sara, for sharing this very important aspect of fear. I believe that we should embrase/allow all our emotions in order to fully accept them. Much love and light🥰
I really want to thank you from the botton of my heart for all that Knowledge!!! Thanks to the cosmos for your existence!!!
Trying my best to view fear as a flashing red button ( with buzzer) on a control panel that notifies me of a potential problem that needs to be addressed.
1) pressing button stops the alarm and the emotional response,which allows clarity and space for a workable solution.
2) Having a workable solution creates peace, love and understanding.
3) Homeostasis achieved
I think that I was waiting for this one, thank you Sarah
You never cease to amaze me with your insight! My seemingly prominent drive to discover the underlying threads of energetic truth has finally arrived through this review of “Fear”. I now can see it’s an integral part of my sacred beingness and now understand how to “transmute” it. Blessings for the expanding awareness! Footnote: I submitted my comment before finishing the entire video. Now having done so, the real gem is in the realization of how fear leads to control!!!
You mentioned Kill Bill was your fav movie, and you know what, after I watched Kill Bill the other day I think you actually resemble Uma Thurman, I see a lot of similarities in the face. Love your videos ✨✨
Much love!🤠😉
I always used fear to push the positive boundaries in my life, especially professionnally !
This couldn’t have come at a better time…. Please I ask for advice, this is a long post so sorry in advance but I wish for help:
I’ve been so miserable lately because I got into studying something I just found out I dislike and started experiencing fear (fear of what happens If I drop out, fear because I moved to another country to study this, fear of being seen as a failure, fear of not being able to find a job) This major fear has left me feeling disappointed in myself, like I’m a “failure” for not being brave, for not trying harder to put up with something I feel is making me unhappy. I feel fear because I feel like I lack control in my situation and it really saddens me. This is the lowest vibrational state I’ve been in years, where I had been doing so well and my spiritual practice was at an all time high. Now I’m so worried I’m vibrating low, and I feel a disconnect from my guides (this saddens me the most. I feel like I can’t contact them or feel them) and I have symbolic dreams of trying not to drown in the ocean and braving immense waves (I have been having these dreams non stop for the past 2 months) I feel extremely emotionally exhausted and worst of all: cornered. This video helped me feel better. I will use this advice but I also wish for words of advice if you’ve ever been in a similar situation. Sorry for the long post but I can’t vent anywhere else
it could be that you're in that country for another reason, that this school was just the thing the universe used to draw you there, try to find the purpose for it. it could just be to help you overcome the bandwagoning nature of society and ascend further into your sovereignty. but don't stick to something you're certain you dislike, that's definitely not your highest timeline. and imo THAT would be failure. failure to follow your heart.
I used to be almost paralyzed by social fear, anxiety, doubt. I was mired in the thought of what other people thought of me. What I discovered was that the feelings of anxiety, anger or fear were like energetic obstructions in my being. I found that the very things that I 'did' to alleviate the fear actually caused it to persist. I am a doer, so when I felt something I didn't like: fear etc, I would immediately begin plotting on what steps I would take in the future to make this unpleasant feeling go away. This inevitably led to confusion, more fear, or actions which had the opposite effect than relief; and ultimately perpetuated circumstances which engendered more fear. This makes sense, doesn't it? If I act out of joy, and creativity, the results of my actions result in more joy and creativity.
I solved this problem in exactly the way the The Alchemist outlined. I FELT my fear. I threw out EVERY narrative associated with the feeling of fear. I stopped thinking about what caused the fear, or what I could do to make it go away, and what all that meant about me. I simply batted away all thoughts about it, and sat down, and spent as much time as needed to experience the fear. I only looked at the sensation of fear in my body that was triggered by some circumstance, without caring what the circumstance were. I asked myself, where did I feel the fear, what was the sensation in my body that I labeled as fear? How big was it, what color (if any) was it, what was its shape, density, etc.? In other words, I let the fear speak to me. Fear wanted to make itself known, so I tasked myself with knowing it completely, which boiled down to simply experiencing it, for however long it took.
What I found was that all negative feelings have a life span. They arise, expand, contract, and (if I take long enough to observe it) they dissolve and DISAPPEAR completely. What I also realized is that if I decide on some course of action to alleviate the fear, instead of simply observing the whole cycle, I mistakenly believe that it was the choice of action I projected into the future that made the fear go away. This was a mistake. The fear was mearly following ther progression of all feelings: arising, expanding, contracting, dissolving, ONLY, I mistook the dissolving part as resulting from my future concocted plan. I missed consciously observing the natureal dissolution on its own.
However, miraculously, when I simply noticed the unpleasant fear, and then sat with it, not wanting it to go away, but simply letting it communicate itself to me throughout its complete cycle, and doing so in an inviting and loving manner, I was able to consciously observe the dissolution of the feeling-the feeling went away, NEVER to return as a result of the same trigger.
Therefore, I "rinse and repeat" with every unpleasant feeling that arrises in the course of my life. I view triggers now as friends on the path that alert me to some energetic obstruction in my being that I have not yet given enough conscious attention to. My actions in this world are no longer controlled by what I fear.
The extra gift of this methodology is this: Fear is obstucted (constricted, denied) energy. When conscious attention disolves the obstuction, the energy that was embedded in it is now released in its purifed form, and I can now USE that freed joyous, relieved energy to create a path forward that leads to more expansion and joy.
I found that ALL of my 'problems" exist in narrative ONLY. Without the story about my problems in my head, my problems cease to exist, and I am able to live in the now, fully responsive to what is going on in the moment, and my life has never been happier and more at ease. Good luck to you, and remember, it's impodssible to make a mistake. We can only find out how much we bother ourselves.
@@leeolson1959 💜👏💜! I’m especially fond of “rinse & repeat”…so as to integrate…I find that sooo applicable in so many aspects of life. Thank You
ur not doing what brings you joy. follow you joy...inner peace will folow gradually. TRUST THE PROCESS!!!
students often struggle w this dilema. you are NOT the only one experiencing this uncertainty. it must feel HUGE, but its not. it's a redirection...that's all. BE OPEN...but definitely close THAT DOOR! LOL❤❤❤Q
I cannot convey how life-changing and helpful you have been to me, Sarah!
Another great video, you continue to outdo yourself, Sarah. Much gratitude for all you do
Very powerful. Thank you so much ❤
This is the most original and insightful comments about fear I have ever seen. Thank you❤
I have been climbing trees a lot lately. There is a lot of danger with climbing trees. I have been training myself how to use my adrenaline as a tool during climbing. this video came at the right time. its one of your best videos in my opinion
Well, this sure has been a theme in the past couple of weeks. Synchronistic timing as usual. Lots of lessons learned / integrated recently on this theme. Thank you Sarah ❤️
Thanks Sarah. Very helpful and some good things to work on. I will need to watch again.
Putting Alchemy into words is Magick and you do it so casual. thank you
Love ☮️ and Peace💜
In the entire universe. May We become the change we see in the
Entire universe🌀
Thank you so much for this important reminder and the practical approach to having our relationship with fear ❤
Gloria Estefan’s “The Rhythm is Gonna Get You” is playing in my head now haha! 🤣
I use to experience fear. But now no fear
My life just gets better and better. Each year is better than the last. I got to go flying this year to the beach in Florida. It’s so exciting. To me everything is mind. It’s the mindset that brings dreams. I trust the universe so fear is gone. 🎉
The literature from your video is incredibly illuminating and wholehearted.
Thank you Sarah for your continuous journey on the human consciousness!
I am forever grateful.💚💫💚💚
Sarah I really appreciate you and thank you for sharing all the information that you must put in alot of effort to do so. I realize it's the right thing to do from an enlightened prospective. I hope that everyone grasp the fact how much effort you spend doing what you do for humanity and that most really take in the information study and really try to fully understand what is being said. Much love and respect to you and your audience
This is a great show! I needed this one! Thank you
Thank you for all the teachings you do! ❤
I love this video, Sarah. Thank you for covering such an important topic. Something that has helped me develop intimacy with fear is naming it, like literally giving it a name and an image, as if it were a character in a story. This allows me to humanize my fear; once something is humanized, it is impossible to let it have power over you. The goal is not to become paralyzed by fear but to notice it when it shows up and watch it as it goes by. This is a challenging thing to do on the spiritual journey, but an essential part of the process. I would love to hear more from you on this topic!
I’m literally chugging this woman
Love the content
Alchemical Transmutation ;

Mastering the Control of FEAR and turning it into a POSTIVE !!!
POLARITY = Cause and Effect !!!
The KYBALION 👍
I would venture to say…the process of alchemizing fear is employment of courage
Wonderful explanation - much clarity - more fearless - thank you!
Such a great video, just what I needed to hear, best yet it. You explained in a way that makes a lot of sense. always comes at a time that just happens to line up perfectly with what I’m thinking and dealing with. And others I’m sure!!
This is an amazing therapy principle. Beautiful!
Thank you for this video Sara, I’m currently writing a book on Fear and this information confirm what I am writing about. The book is about seeing fear from a metaphysical energy that constricts our consciousness.
Been sitting with a triggered fear response from a mushroom trip gone south for years now , damn vibration went too low . Trauma incurred. Anyone that’s sat with the fight or flight going haywire causing more fear and panic and isolation knows how desolate it can feel . I just pray to god I’ve gone through this shit for a higher purpose to perhaps benefit others in future. And Sara is right . With the constriction and fear there’s also the higher power showing up and leading us through it and counteracting how difficult it may seem at times. Not a fun lesson to be in for a prolonged period . Guess I’m trauma informed now ! Yay !
@Tap_Profile_Smsme81 and what would we do with the time ?
Sounds like trauma triggered transformation. Go on and bloom!
I’m so glad I didn’t learn anything new on that subject... You confirmed everything I experienced and everything I already knew... Thank you! 🙏🏻😊✨
Sarah, as always BEAUTIFULLY articulated…integration of perceived paradox (lol) is always a necessary step in a souls pursuit of the middle way (embodying the eternal now). B-cuz it’s truly All Divine!
Much love!🔥💖🔥
Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for this video. It was such a helpful reminder for me to get out of some mind-traps and back into productive shadow work . And it's so well structured and told. Thank you for putting so much work into bringing light into this world. 🙏☀💛
A very useful definition and explanation. Much appreciated - for this reminder.
This is the best explanation of fear I’ve yet to hear 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so very much for this message!
This video was super helpful, thanks Sarah.
Excellent teaching. Thank you, Sarah. I’ve stopped being shocked at the timeliness of your messages. I’ll take it as a sign of alignment! ❤
Sarah I truly see this so much. I’ve seen in increase more and more since the 90s.
wow so beautifully said thank you so much for putting it in words :)
Really loved this one, thank you 🙏🏻
I'm so excited!!!!
thanks im really greatful for the info. you,ve really filled in learning gaps for me .order out of chaos.
I love your work Sarah! The clarity and nuance of the topic of fear came across effortlessly to me. You delivered clarity about conveying messages about fear with the intention of understanding and integrating it instead of perpetuating the belief aspect of that fear. In a recent podcast, you suggested to the listeners to "embrace your cringe." I'm not sure why, but those words have been some of my "commandments" for some time now. 😂 Last night my time I had a cringe experience, which was really real to me, and made me experience how you somehow hold space for 8 consciousness branches of the Tree of Knowledge. Thank you. 🙏
That is very smart perspective, thank you ✨
Thank you very much Sarah for this beautiful video 🤩! It reminds me of Buddhist teachings that invite us to welcome fear in the cradle of loving kindness, so it can be used as energy for our evolution 🙏 Blessings 🦋⭐️🦋
Thank you Sarah we love you and appreciate you!
You’re doing amazing work ❤
THERES GOOD AND THERES EVIL THATS THE ONLY SEPARATION.YOU MUST FIRST KNOW THYSELF TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE..PEACE N BLESSINGS❤
Right there with you. Love this . I was going through this exact process these days... ❤
This is great. Thanks for sharing. Fighting fear, Is fear of fear. Just as fighting love, is fear of love. Acceptance and alchemy always is the way. This journey is tough though. It's easy to fight fear and consider ourselves brave. Very tough to see the difference.
Aloha Sarah. I return on a regular basis to acknowledge Source & you for my activation. “Thank you” are among the 2 most powerful words we speak. I listen less, hear more. Namaste’, 🙏K
Thank you for this comprehensive definition that serves as a confirmation and explanation of recent experiences!!!
🤔😵💫🤯
✌️🙌🙏
Amazing insight!! Thank you very much
thank you Sarah!
Sarah, thanks again for another awesome vid. 💕
A quick tip that can be helpful for some people is to think of your "survival brain" almost as a terrified child. Treat it with compassion, validation, comfort. If anyone is looking for in depth processing of strong emotions with the help of a therapist I highly, highly recommend Internal Family Systems or EMDR therapy. (Make sure to research any therapist before booking with them!)
Much love, fam! 💞
For anyone reading this and wanting to learn how to accept and process all their emotions, there's a therapeutic technique called Focusing that helped me a lot on that. Also, Jeff Foster's book The Deepest Acceptance.
Take care 💜
