Convert fear to awe

Below I’m reposting a couple of status updates from Facebook and Twitter and then adding some corresponding material for further consideration on the themes.

If someone is acting defensive consider the fact that it’s because they are feeling fear…from there it’s easier to find compassion…(and that holds true for when we get defensive as well. We can stop and ask, what am I afraid of in this instance? and from there perhaps choose to respond differently)

• Empathy, compassion and vulnerability: collection

Convert fear to awe…it’s a heart opening process…it may be messy and require visiting some darkness etc…

• Fear and anxiety: coping, reframing, transforming…
• Fear will create all sorts of havoc in the body
• About reframing: embrace your experience
