There is a wonderful acronym for the word FEAR—False Evidence Appearing Real. At this time on our planet there is a tremendous amount of fear being generated by the media. I would suggest that you bypass the energy of fear about anything, as that lowers your frequency and invites that which you fear into your reality. Take precautions and then move your energy to another thought.
I was in a place of spiritual growth trying to overcome all those things I feared; the fear only defeated me. I had the opportunity to face my fears a few years ago. I was at work at the clinic on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. Everyone was at lunch but me, and people with a big truck and boat came driving into the clinic, yelling, “You have to help us! A big snake wrapped itself around the prop of our boat as we were coming out of Magic Reservoir. We don’t want to kill the snake and we don’t want to take it home.”
I asked myself, Is this really my problem? I also recognized that it was an opportunity to face my fear of snakes. Snakes represent the energy of transmutation in the Native American tradition. If you possess snake energy, you can transmute all poisons. I knew it was time for me to give up the energy of fear in my life.
Taking a deep breath, I walked to the boat and, sure enough, there was one big snake wrapped around the prop. It was tan and black and about 4 inches in diameter. I had no idea what type of snake it was or if it was poisonous, but I had gloves and I took a deep breath, saying to myself, “I and the snake are one.” If I am not in fear, my pheromones of fear will not trigger the snake.
I reached for the snake directly behind the head, holding the energy of “I and the snake are one.” I released the snake into the grass behind the clinic. The freedom I received from that action has freed me from the energy of fear no matter what the trigger. I just breathe deep, relax and become one with that of which I am afraid. The energy of fear then transmutes and I am in a sacred place.
I would suggest that we all take a look at the fear that is currently being generated. There has not been a year that we have not had some type of outbreak, be it SARS, swine flu, bird flu or some other type of disease, and realize that being in fear only lowers your frequency, which lowers your immune system. Empower yourself with your breath, take smart precautions, and don’t feed the snakes that promote fear. Much love and health to you.
Life is a gift. The purpose is joy. Find yours.
