Fear

We all have an idea of what fear does to the mind-body interface, potentiating disease states from breathing difficulties to anxiety, from arthritis to cancer through immune disregulation, but fear has a precise mechanism by which it affects our neurology. Fear affects the brain. It's like an acid that runs along the neural pathways and then commences eating into them.

Fear lives in the brain but it will manifest throughout the body. It has governance over our feedback mechanisms of belief systems and entrenched thought patterns. It starts with repetitive thinking that is difficult to get out of, the mind forcibly returning to the issue that it can't let go of. The mind’s owner knows they are doing it, but they can’t stop the entrenchment of the pattern, and the acid trips a switch in the brain. This acid is an energetic inflammation and it is also an ‘eating away’.

In physiological conditions where fear is ‘front row and centre’, there will over time be a resulting brain shrinkage as well as viscosity changes in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Also affected is the pathway between Yin Tang and the Cerebellum, often impacting the ocular cavity, as well as the Conception Vessel pathways that run through the brain. When we treat the energetic pathways and the cerebellum, you can interrupt the ‘process of thought’ because one is dealing with stuck energy in the old brain (cerebellum) causing the problematic repeat, repeat, repeat.

It is possible to disrupt the process and dilute the acid and stabilise the area so the neural pathways can reform, affecting the dissolution of the thought patterns and establishing a new equilibrium for the mind-body interface. Fear also affects the feet and the energetic centres and constructs beneath the feet, often making the toes visibly and physically skew. It can affect one's ability to ground as they literally can't get enough traction when they connect with the ground.

It can bring about incredible levels of pain in the soles of the feet, and can also manifest as physical problems in the legs because of circulatory issues through the involvement of the spleen and the gallbladder – in a way that is specific to that person. People who live in (constant states of) fear tend to live between the levels of energy rather than being grounded or above them in a definitive manner.

Fear digs deep into the physiology of the body. It greatly impacts – not only their ability to navigate their life but also their ability to create it. It is interesting to look at how much of our current version of society functions on hefty doses of fear, where it has entered into a normalcy of sorts… In resolving fear – it comes down to dealing with it differently. This will shut down the alarm system of the mind and quell its hypervigilance. 

It's about a new conceptual context, a different view of the fear mechanism so the mind can let go of that hyper state. We find this involved in most of our most harrowing disease states; it cannot be underestimated the huge and compounding effect it has on one’s physiology.
