Overcome fear

Many people live in the lower two parts of their brain.  Reactions come out of the lower brain, response comes from the upper brain where we make a conscious choice. Emotions come from the middle brain. This is the cause of the suffering and pain in the world. When something challenging happens, people who use their lower brain give up.

Reactions come from fear. Fear is used by society to control people, it is called the psychology of fear. People can do many good things but it is the one bad thing they do that people notice and remember. For instance, many people drive cars safely but the emphasis is put on car accidents to make drivers fearful.

A fearless person cannot be controlled.

To overcome fear you must face it. You can face it gradually.  If you are scarded of frogs draw a picture of a frog and look at it, look at books about frogs then face a real frog. All the time say to yourself, " I am safe", "The universe is protecting me."

When negative thoughts come, counter them with positive thoughts. Counter fear with courage and doubt with confidence. Always assess danger with the upper brain and recognize your limitations.

Yoga makes the spine flexible to develop the spinal chord which connects with the lower brain. Conditioning is the way we are born. The closer you stay to your conditioning the more miserable you will be. Break away from your condition.

If you always believe you are right you move away from finding the truth. If you only do what you like, you will remain on the same level all your life

Have an open mind and improve yourself every day, emotionally, physically and mentally.
