Aloha,

I was quite amazed when I was doing research about the top ten fears. They were: long words (that being first really amazed me), flying, clowns, heights, death, being alone, the dark, public speaking, commitment and intimacy. Of course, no matter what the fear, imagining an angel holding your hand and walking you through it is the best way I know to overcome any and all fears.

But when fear has just coming roaring up to the surface and grabbed you by the throat remembering that angels even exist is often the challenge. I would love to hear how you overcome fear in your own life. I’ll share some of my favorite ways of reconnecting with inner peace, love and the remembrance that I am always surrounded by love and am safe no matter what is happening.


There are lots of little ways to remember. One of my favorite is pictures. I have lots of pictures around my home that remind me just how wonderful life is. Years ago I made collages of pictures that gave me hope and helped me maintain my spiritual focus. I also had a stack of index cards filled with inspirational quotes, whenever I was afraid or felt off balance I would read them until my sense of connection returned.

Believe it or not a mirror can really be a wonderful tool for overcoming fear. Simply take a moment to connect with yourself in the mirror, look deeply into your eyes and remind yourself you are loved by a whole host of celestial beings.
