Visualization Techniques to Overcome Fear
Everyone is affected by fear, whether brought about by irrational or rational thoughts, previous traumas, or life events they can make self-advancement in life a struggle to achieve. How do we breakthrough that fear to make our life goals possible, dreams fulfilled, and permanent well-being a fixture in life.
Imagine the fear. if its public speaking, imagine the theater and you on the stage. If your fear is a person, like your boss to whom you want to ask for a raise - give your boss a name and body. If this is old fear that keeps you from moving forward, imagine yourself and all the other selves each year you have been, since the trauma occurred. Once your fear has a shape, name (if you want), place - such as the theater, and circumstance that you're moving through - talk to it. Hear the conversation in your mind or out loud. Acknowledge that its Fear, and nothing more. “Hi my name is ___________ and you must be my fear that I’m holding onto.” Ask for you both to go to its origins and compassionately let it know that you love it, things will be ok, and your there to help it realize that its better to let go and keep moving forward than returning to the trauma that brought you here. This can take a bit of practice to get to, but once you have a visualization template and use this technique it will become much easier to accomplish. Your conversation with fear is to recognize it as itself. Fear. Nothing more, nothing less - without judgement, and a lot of self-love, ask it to dissipate from a storm cloud to rays of sun lighting your path forward, illuminating you to your highest best place. Give it gratitude for its protective nature and see it walk away from its guard that has kept you safe.
Keep at the visualization, talk to your fear, recognize it for what it is, and let it go.
It is a very brave, and profound way to help yourself to your most abundant, fulfilling life. God Bless!
