What are you afraid of…how to overcome your fear (hint: just add water)

I have to say it’s been one challenging week since my little chi, Angel was killed.
However, my boyfriend, Crowe was absolutely amazing in being there for me. He had a great idea to nurture my soul in nature by going camping as Angel would have wanted that. What was interesting as he was planning the trip – Angel gave us a sign that she was around us because the road we ended up staying was called Chiwawa loop!
The funny thing about this was after calling all around for reservations to get our campsite this was the only one he found available. I started laughing and so did he! Not to mention when we went into town there was a store called “House on Angels.” It felt good to feel her joyful spirit around me because for me there are no coincidences
only signs that nudge us in the right direction or reassure us that everything is ok.
Crowe had thought it would be fun to go white water rafting. I had told him that I had a fear of doing this but would go. That morning as we drove to the place I felt my stomach in knots from being nervous. I was really quiet on the way there as I tend to do this and process things in my mind before facing any kind of fear. I asked myself “What am I really afraid of?” The question came back of “losing control.” It seemed like a metaphor of some sort as I knew this was symbolic of a dance I had to do into with the water.
We had a crew of about 8 people all women except for Crowe. I knew that the female energy would be powerful and positive so that was definitely a bonus for me- and of course my boyfriend that made me feel a little safer. As I got in the boat I was still pretty scared because this is something I had never experienced before and I didn’t know what to expect. Crowe, the seasoned rafter, was very confident so I really had to put my trust and faith in him. As our raft departed from calm waters I turned to everyone and told them I wanted all of us to visualize staying on the raft! They agreed and I felt a little more at ease, but I have to admit I was still scared because I was riding into the unknown.
Then it happened, we hit our first rapid…I closed my eyes and thought of my little Angel being my animal spirit guide protecting me..although if she was in the physical form there was no way she would want to get wet as she was such a diva! (LOL)
After the first one, I was relieved that I was still on the raft yet didn’t know what to expect from the rest of the trip. I finally, just embraced the journey and saw myself feeling good and being safe. The more I let go…the more fun I had and of course the easier it was.
I finally did it…I faced my fear and guess what; I will go back and do it again because it was so much fun. I have to hand it to Crowe as he always comes up with some crazy things for us to do…and just the other day he signed us up to take a trapeze class and yes this is very scary… yet another fear to conquer!
My message to you is this….. see yourself through the fear and just embrace the journey that you are on.
Once you look into the fear it allows you to move and flow through it instead of trying to avoid it. Sometimes being in the unknown is an opportunity to get in touch with ourselves on a much deeper level and that is where the magic can truly unfold.
Here is one of my favorite mantras that I often teach people…
“When I let go..things start to flow”
Now my question to you is this…
What is your biggest fear right now and do you plan on conquering it? Or if you conquered your fear..how did you do it?
