Angels on Your Shoulder

As I thought about my Fearless Fridays post I was reminded that faith really can erase all of our fears. As one of my mentors reminded me one day years ago, angels either are or they aren't

Have you ever noticed how fear seems so much more prevalent in humans than love. What's up with that?

One of the most important questions I ever pondered was, "Is this a safe universe or a hostile one?"

Aloha, I was quite amazed when I was doing research about the top ten fears. They were: long words (that being first really amazed me), flying, clowns, heights, death, being alone, the dark, public speaking, commitment and intimacy. Of course, no matter what the fear, imagining an angel holding your hand and walking you through…

I had no idea they had all sorts of names for fear of flying including aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia. Oddly enough I overcame my fear by being in a commercial plane that almost crashed.

Fear stops us from doing a lot of things that brings us happiness and joy but there are some simple things you can do to free yourself from fear.

Death is such a touchy topic for many people. Life is after all a fatal disease, our spirits are immortal our bodies aren't. So how do we deal fearlessly with our own mortality?

Recently I gotten several emails from readers asking me for concrete ways to overcome fear once it has taken hold of their thinking. I find this Cherokee story of the two wolves a wonderful way to deal with fear.

Fear is a learned response so we can learn to respond differently. It takes practice and it is possible.

Ganesha is the god of obstacles and of course fear is one of our greatest obstacles to a happy life! He is the best-known and most beloved representation of divinity in Hinduism.
