Befriending Fear to Harness A New Fuel Source

It didn’t take long for me to start a timer on Google for FOUR minutes and start doing Fear Melters. As I went through some of the usual moves, I noticed I was shifting from love scoops to spontaneously slapping my chest and legs, not really hurting myself, it was more like matching the slaps…

…I like to add “HERE I AM” to my Root — and I love lifting up and then dropping my heels and saying “here I am” as a way to presence.

I’ve been playing with finding my “sweet spot“ with my fear melters. When I’m moving, I’m feeling into the speed and rhythm and movement until it feels just right in my body. Like Goldilocks. If I’m moving too much or too quickly, I might still be aware of my body, but my awareness of my…

I’ve been playing with seeing how subtly I can do Fear Melters, so that I can feel them on the inside but they are virtually undetectable from the outside.

As I entered into the last 30-45 seconds of doing love scoops this morning, I experienced a clear message to hold my hands open palmed as I scooped towards my heart. Since I busted my Agreement Cop earlier this week, I’ve spontaneously been humming deep resonant sounds that reverberate my chest area. I’m feeling tender…

While coaching a client, I had the opportunity to witness the immediate effective of doing FMs. The client expressed about an issue which seemed to me to include feeling fear. I asked if that was accurate. Then I asked what sensations on the Fast-Aid for Fear Melters sheet they noticed were happening right now. After…

I noticed when I was sharing love scoops with a client recently that they were just going through the motions. The scoops were not landing emotionally. Once they began to land the scoops on their body with a small pause, there was a slight softening in they’re face. I like the idea of scooping something…

… I Love Root! I too have often fled into my head, thinking that would keep me safe. I now see it as isolating myself from Life. I liked what Katie said Tuesday, something like “Integrity is the best way to create Safety.” I notice that Root helps me feel solid and complete, i.e. wholeness…

…In other words, facing and feeling the fear, moving it through my body and then loving myself with compassion allowed me to have some compassion for her. And now I’m able to actually serve her better.

I resonated with the thought of doing FM’s while moving through my “normal” life. I felt so playful as I made my movements larger (taking up more space in the world) and kept moving forward. It gave me a burst of aliveness and I still feel the reverberations of playful energy. Delicious way to start…

When feeling fear, the oozing had a different kind of effect than the other Fear Melters … I almost felt like I surrendered fully to the emotion — like melting — absolutely no resistance … like a rock with water just going around me … I felt sheltered and safe somehow like the fear washed…

I Love Root! I too have often fled into my head, thinking that would keep me safe. I now see it as isolating myself from Life.

Crazy thought this morning—After noticing how much better I feel after Fear Melters and creative joint play, I wondered if the aches and pains I’ve recently experienced are just a bunch of knotted fears that have accumulated over 6-8 years of elder caregiving. Could be as simple as the aging process, but when I reflect upon…

While doing love scoops every morning for weeks I noticed a place I was NOT sending love… my fingernails. I had had a life long habit of biting my nails to the point of bleeding. I had generated tremendous shame (and pain) throughout my life with this embarrassing vice. So, I began sending drops of…

My intention for today is to love my eyes. Giving them tender love scoops already. I am willing to love my eyes AND I think there’s something wrong with them. I think I have had that thought since I first experienced distance blurring in high school. I feel sad. And teary. Like I didn’t let…

…I love this share and the realization of being able to do these practices while on the phone. I love that before a virtual workshop I can do 2 minutes of Fear Melters in the room I’m presenting in. I’m noticing a little voice encouraging me to try them in person too…..

Doing day #2 this morning, I pulled the Fear Melter “Love Scoops” and learned a lot about my hidden resistances against gathering good feelings and well- being… hmmmmm…. a day of new discovery, so thankful.

I chose to give love scoops to my lower back (I felt a call to there). I felt a current of delicious spark energy move through me. Like I had plugged in an area in my body that was super charged to receive love energy. I savored the buzz and then did it again and…

After doing Fear Melters daily with my coach I was amazed at just how good I felt all day. I didn’t know I could feel this good all day.

While doing my fear melters this morning I had the thought that “I wonder if a grounding Root would be supportive when I notice that I am fleeing to my head.” I giggled when I pulled the Integrity deck card Fear Melter: “I recognize the leaving quality of my body fleeing and easily shift into…
