The panic attacks have nothing to cling onto once you confront them and the symptoms will start to dissipate. But it's something you will need to practice on a daily basis in order to master, just like any skill, you need to learn it. Be brave!

I remember the first time I came face to face with a rattlesnake. I imagined that he could fly through air and bite me. Once I discovered that they could only strike the distance of their neck, that fear shrunk by about 90%. Still, the unexpected sound of their rattle can definitely put your nervous system on high alert. Good for you James, face those fears.

Much like the other end of a nerve thread, the influence of that thought energy finds physical expression in that point. This is why practices like reflexology will release emotions as the corresponding nerve points are manipulated. The tendency to think of the mind and body as two separate entities denies our holistic oneness. Hi Paul, few people realize that every thought has a corresponding point in the body.

When we search for it intellectually our ego (also emotionally based) will hide it from our radar. The best tool for shining the light of logic on fear is a carefully constructed series of probing questions designed to coax those hidden fears out into the light so they can be seen for what they really are.

Thanks for sharing that. Hi Marquita, that is so true about how fear can take on a life of its own and spread or grow. Thanks for sharing that.

Why are they afraid? Because in the absence of light the imagination takes over. Once they get the courage to experience the darkness they quickly discover there was nothing to be afraid of. Most fear lives in our head. Hi Nancy, I am reminded of how some children are afraid of the dark. Why are they afraid? Because in the absence of light the imagination takes over.
