This meditation will help you to deal with any feelings of fear.
So sit comfortably,
Relax,
And relax your body yet again.
This fear creates tension in the mind and a lot of tension in the body.
So relax the body yet again and feel your muscles become easy.
Try to reflect a bit on this feeling of fear.
Is it a fear that comes because you worry?
Is it a fear that seems to originate from inside?
Is it a tsunami that takes over?
Is it a fear that makes you panic?
Is it a fear that makes you want to isolate yourself from the world and it drains you of courage to face what might happen?
Try to understand where your fear originates.
What are you scared of?
All fear begins with a sense of loss.
I feel I can lose something.
I feel that something might be taken away from me.
So I need to cling,
Hold on,
And the holding on doesn't seem to be working.
Where does my fear begin?
And what am I scared of losing?
Is it a person?
Is it an object?
Is it wealth,
Property?
Am I scared of losing my freedom,
My sense of identity,
My space,
My time?
What am I scared of losing?
And as I step from the outside world and my thoughts to an inner space of silence,
There is a deep realization,
A realization that ultimately nothing belongs to me.
I can't hold on to anything because it's not mine.
Everything that comes into my life has to go.
This is the law.
Everything just passes by.
Everyone steps in and steps out.
The only thing I won't lose is my connection with me.
So I sit quietly inside in my inner space of silence and stillness because in this space there is nothing to lose.
And I'm connected with the real me,
The me that is aware of this truth,
That I will always be there for myself.
I came into this body.
I came into this world as a guest.
I checked in and one day I will check out.
This is the law.
So I ask myself,
What did I bring with me and what will I take with me?
Who belongs to me and what belongs to me?
Even this body is on loan.
Every breath,
Every second that passes is a gift.
Everything belongs to me.
So when the fear of losing anything is removed,
All that is left is a feeling of gratitude,
Deep gratitude for everything that is around me,
Everything that has passed,
Everyone who has stepped in.
There is no sense of possession or attachment.
I am grateful and as I sit in my inner space,
I am grateful for me.
I am grateful that I have always been there for myself,
Sometimes a bit hidden from my own understanding,
But in silence I reconnect to that feeling of gratitude towards myself.
And all fear is gone.
And all that is left is gratitude suspended in my inner stillness,
My inner silence.
