It is just an indication that our thinking is leading us toward a sense of separation instead of moving us toward a feeling of connection with our source.\u00a0 The more we deepen our connection with God the more magical our life becomes.\u00a0 The universe, God or the source only has one answer to all of our requests and that is yes.\u00a0 If we are focusing on fearful thoughts we create more things to be fearful about.<br \/>\nIt helps to remember that there is fear based fear and love based fear.\u00a0 Love based fear is based on our inherent need to survive. Love based fear invites us to step out of the path of an oncoming car or helps us to lose weight when we have been diagnosed with diabetes.\u00a0 Fear based fear simply makes our erroneous thinking bigger and us more fearful.<\/p>\n<h3>Emotions are \u2026.<\/h3>\n<p>All of our emotions are an indication of our alignment with our spirit. If we are feeling grateful, loved and joyous we are connected. If we are feeling depressed, fearful or sad we are connected to our mind or our filter system. So we can begin to see fear as a wakeup call or a reminder. Fear reminds us it is time to say a prayer,\u00a0 call upon the angels or engage in one of our behaviors that deepens our spiritual connection.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how we use fear we can turn even our biggest fears into a loving invitation to embrace our spirit and once again feel connected, loved and safe. This is after all a safe universe.
