The impact of fear on the immune system cannot be underestimated.
In fact, it is most probably the greatest obstacle to healing and the single most overlooked factor in mind-immune conditions. Either for its direct effects (increasing levels of cortisol or adrenaline ) or for its indirect effects (causing people to give up, feel hopelessness, apathy, depression, failure to seek support and many other consequences).
It is also at the root of all the various issues you will need to deal with to heal including stress, expressing what you feel, and finding a sense of passion and purpose for the future
Experiments have clearly demonstrated the dramatic immunological benefits of confronting fear.
In this Episode we cover the following :
· Overview of why fear is the greatest obstacle to healing.
· Types of fear - There is a wide range of emotions – mild to strong – that fall into the general category of fear.
· Why fear such a powerful force in our lives.
· Techniques that work wonderfully for the "thinking" brain simply do not work for the "primitive brain".
· How to work with fear, to feel it, but not to stay stuck in it.
We also discuss these 7 fear principles :
Fear can – and will – override more sophisticated thoughts and feelings
Believing you are in danger feels exactly the same as the real thing
Unresolved fear will keep your unconscious mind activated 24 hours a day.
There are two and only two things to do with a F.E.A.R :
F.E.A.R. = Forget everything and run (avoid and deny).
F.E.A.R. = Face everything and recover (deal with it).
Fear is nothing more and nothing less than the unanswered question "What if … "
The sole purpose of confronting fear (including death ) is to increase feeling alive.
When dealing with feared possibilities, put as much energy into desired possibilities.
A lot of the information in this Episode was paraphrased from an applied psychoneuroimmunulogy called The Healer Inside you by Neil Orr and David Patient
Fear and dealing with it in relation to physical illness and healing is such a huge topic that we could only scratch the surface of it in this Episode. So, we have decided to offer a 1.5-hour online Master Class at the end of October focused on bringing more information and helpful tools to those who are sick and struggling with fear.
The cost will be $27 (or R450.00 for South Africans), we hope that makes it affordable enough for all.
