What are you afraid of ?
In physical terms, I am afraid of the dark. From childhood,I have been scared to go out when dark. And my elder siblings took huge advantage of that to play pranks on me. I am a little better now though.
On emotional terms, I am scared of hurting others, specially my loved ones. Not out of any insecurity. I believe that once you emotionally hurt someone, that scar remains and the relationship somehow cannot be the same.
I am also scared of losing my sensitivity though my being blunt is often mistaken to be my being insensitive. I try to be diplomatic but it’s not always possible.
On a spiritual level, I have no fear. I have a deep faith in a higher being, an energy which resonates with me and gives me the strength to carry on even in the darkest phases of my life and believe me, like everyone, I have had my shares of ups and downs. You can call it God or whatever you like and the best way for me to feel that energy is to meditate. Going inside helps me in connecting to that. One doesn’t have to sit in isolation and spend hours. Waiting in the doctor’s office, traveling on a long flight. I just close my eyes and try to tune out. You can chant a mantra silently or listen to some discourse or just breathe in and breathe out slowly and deliberately. It actually helps you to deal with the morning chaos of packing lunch , getting ready in time and making sure everything is in order.
A colleague of mine found working out to be her meditation. She said it clears her mind and brings her peace. Whatever suits your personality.
