Befriending Fear to Harness A New Fuel Source

… I Love Root! I too have often fled into my head, thinking that would keep me safe. I now see it as isolating myself from Life. I liked what Katie said Tuesday, something like “Integrity is the best way to create Safety.” I notice that Root helps me feel solid and complete, i.e. wholeness…

My intention for today is to love my eyes. Giving them tender love scoops already. I am willing to love my eyes AND I think there’s something wrong with them. I think I have had that thought since I first experienced distance blurring in high school. I feel sad. And teary. Like I didn’t let…

I noticed when I was sharing love scoops with a client recently that they were just going through the motions. The scoops were not landing emotionally. Once they began to land the scoops on their body with a small pause, there was a slight softening in they’re face. I like the idea of scooping something…

Crazy thought this morning—After noticing how much better I feel after Fear Melters and creative joint play, I wondered if the aches and pains I’ve recently experienced are just a bunch of knotted fears that have accumulated over 6-8 years of elder caregiving. Could be as simple as the aging process, but when I reflect upon…

While doing my fear melters this morning I had the thought that “I wonder if a grounding Root would be supportive when I notice that I am fleeing to my head.” I giggled when I pulled the Integrity deck card Fear Melter: “I recognize the leaving quality of my body fleeing and easily shift into…

As I entered into the last 30-45 seconds of doing love scoops this morning, I experienced a clear message to hold my hands open palmed as I scooped towards my heart. Since I busted my Agreement Cop earlier this week, I’ve spontaneously been humming deep resonant sounds that reverberate my chest area. I’m feeling tender…

I went to a dance competition this last weekend, and I used the fear melters again and again to process fear around showing up and being seen. I danced better than I’ve ever danced before, and my dance partner Bailey and I ended up winning. The moves we did are all improvised, but we decided…

Doing day #2 this morning, I pulled the Fear Melter “Love Scoops” and learned a lot about my hidden resistances against gathering good feelings and well- being… hmmmmm…. a day of new discovery, so thankful.

When I first started doing Fear Melters, I was challenged by feeling the Love Scoops. My arms were scooping, scooping, and I was visualizing heart shaped rain drops, showers of loving waterfalls – you name it ! – and I felt nothing. Until… I looked out the window. I’m discovering how visual and tactile my learning…

…I like to add “HERE I AM” to my Root — and I love lifting up and then dropping my heels and saying “here I am” as a way to presence.

It didn’t take long for me to start a timer on Google for FOUR minutes and start doing Fear Melters. As I went through some of the usual moves, I noticed I was shifting from love scoops to spontaneously slapping my chest and legs, not really hurting myself, it was more like matching the slaps…

I’ve been playing with seeing how subtly I can do Fear Melters, so that I can feel them on the inside but they are virtually undetectable from the outside.

I chose to give love scoops to my lower back (I felt a call to there). I felt a current of delicious spark energy move through me. Like I had plugged in an area in my body that was super charged to receive love energy. I savored the buzz and then did it again and…

In this morning’s Love in Action live call, Kathlyn Hendricks suggested we could send Love Scoops to someone thousands of miles away, and I immediately thought of my mom and sent her some love… Then, a little after the call, I was chatting with her and my brother in our family chat, and I let…

While doing love scoops every morning for weeks I noticed a place I was NOT sending love… my fingernails. I had had a life long habit of biting my nails to the point of bleeding. I had generated tremendous shame (and pain) throughout my life with this embarrassing vice. So, I began sending drops of…

I made a discovery this morning doing Fear Melters. I’ve been doing them to music and today I noticed that my attention was on the music more than on my body’s experience of Fear Melters. I’m wondering into how I can deepen my practice of fear melters so that I’m fully present. I feel like…

I Love Root! I too have often fled into my head, thinking that would keep me safe. I now see it as isolating myself from Life.

This is awesome!!! There is something powerful when syncs show up like this … and the Root stance is such a great warrior move … in shaking/dancing, I am really enjoying the new “viking” style bands (wardruna and The Hu etc) and songs for really awakening my inner masculine … definitely a powerful Fear Melters!!

…In other words, facing and feeling the fear, moving it through my body and then loving myself with compassion allowed me to have some compassion for her. And now I’m able to actually serve her better.

After doing Fear Melters daily with my coach I was amazed at just how good I felt all day. I didn’t know I could feel this good all day.
