Why do I feel fearful? How can I overcome that?

                                   Oh My God !!

                    Ohhhh Myyyyyyyyyyy Godddddddddddd!! 

Have you ever felt like this? 

A feeling of insecurity is a common problem. Today we find ourselves going into a wide variety of emotions some are healthy and others are unhealthy. 

Our emotions are governed by our thoughts, the quality of thoughts we live with and the quality of thoughts we received from the people around us. Generally, a metropolitan city is full of fearful and frightened people. So we find people addicted to various kinds of drugs or food or music or noise. 

Have you ever been able to sit peacefully for some time?  

No, the moment you try to sit, thoughts come in and mostly the thoughts are fearful for individuals who have been reared or grown up in families, where decision making was delayed due to fear. 

So what is fear? 

Wikipedia answers fear as"Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events. ... Irrational fear is called a phobia."  

                                                   

Which chakra is affected when we fear? 

Mooladhara or Base chakra i.e. the fundamental red energy center at the base of our spine is affected if we grow up in fear. Basically, we find most of the people dealing with the fear of sex. This is commonly found in young girls or women who were raised in houses where sexual knowledge was not imparted in a healthy way or where it was felt that sex is bad. 

The same problem can be seen in young boys or men who do not understand the physical relationship and its importance. Fearful thoughts actually create more trouble in the endocrine system thus leading to the loss of healthy life and healthy body cycles. 

So, how can I overcome my fears? 

Overcoming fear is the most important aspect. As it is just a thought and as madam Louis L.Hay said
"It's just a thought and it can be changed." So, the most important aspect about the fearful thought is that it can be changed by changing our choices. The choices can only be changed if we know the "POWER OF CHOICE".
There are plenty of resources available online, which can be used in overcoming fear. A very effective meditation commentary has been given by meditative mind for healing Mooladhar chakra. The link follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTqktSAmG30&t=118s
