It is common to hear that fear limits and that, in many occasions, it is the reason for many failures.
It protects us and warns us….
What is certain is that fear is really necessary and we are designed in some way to feel it because it protects us or warns us that something is unknown to us and we must act with caution or caution.
For example, when we see a viper we immediately feel something like a chill that warns us of a possible danger, this is not a mistake, it is necessary to take care of ourselves, the body and the mind react to the stimulus correctly.
walk our way safely …….
What is not recommended is that, when feeling fear, we stop acting or doing what we want, the important thing is to take the necessary measures to embark on our path as safely as possible, fear simply indicates that there are aspects to take in Count before we move.
Fear is personal and individual, that is, each person experiences it in different situations and at different levels. For example, some people fear spiders and some others take care of them as pets.
In the East it is affirmed that there is a part of the conscience that protects our karmic impressions, that is, it takes control of the infinite events or events in our future. The term to identify it is that of the substrate, receptacle or barn consciousness.
impressions and reactions to events ..
This is how saved impressions determine our reactions to a greater or lesser extent. That accumulation of experiences and records of all kinds, pleasant or unpleasant, form the basis of emotions and thoughts that will arise in the face of different events in our lives.
If, for example, we had an unpleasant experience on a plane and we have to make a long trip on it, we are most likely to experience fear, if the event is recent we can determine the cause of the fear, on the contrary if it happened at a very stage Early or in previous lives, we most likely will not remember it.
In psychoanalysis, these experiences are worked by making mental connections of the different events in our life that constitute a conductive thread that allows us to find the blocks that generate fear and freeze us when we act. It is very important to understand that not everything that fear means has a conscious dimension, in fact its burden is more emotionally that is why although sometimes we are willing to do something bravely in the background a fear appears that we do not understand at all in a rational way.
uncertainty or pain ...
If we have an excellent memory we will have no problem in identifying the reason for our fear of different situations, however most people block events to avoid experiencing uncertainty or pain, this is how we can keep it consciously or simply we plunge into unconsciousness waiting for the right moment for it to flourish.
Many of the phobias are related to the fear of events not consciously processed.
Actually it is natural to feel fear, what is no longer advisable is to paralyze and sink into passivity, lack of motivation or attempts.
The fear of failure is related to our own or other people's experiences that predispose us to the warning signal of our body and mind so as not to act and think carefully about our action.
warning signs ...
For example, if someone familiar or known died in a serious accident and we were close, the safest thing is that our mind keeps the impression of that particular type of death, so by experiencing perhaps an impact of the same order we will associate it with the danger to Stop living.
Fear is the answer that drives us to stop and think wisely about what we once experienced as adverse.
In the contemplative traditions of the East it is affirmed that it is not about repressing our feelings or stimuli, but rather about seeing them consciously to achieve certainty and confidence in the action. So is.
