As if fear previously have given the boundaries that guided your life, without it you are fearful of trusting your own instincts, as you are unfamiliar in how to do so.
Yup. Shannon has mentioned that already somewhere and I believe he's been working on the whole fear of fear thing. Getting the mind to understand that it's not fear that keeps us safe, but common sense.
I'm curious if the healing subs help the user to get in contact with the body. I have noticed that the more "in my body" I am, the less fear I feel, and the more safe I feel.
I've noticed that as well. To me the healing directly targets fear, it affects the deeper more instinctual response that isn't easily accessed through conscious means. Basically it feels as if I have more control over my response to outside factors vs reacting to it like.a trigger. Part of that is attaining a sort of awareness with one's own body that helps with that.
I can give my warm recommendations to trauma releasing exercises, which help replicate the shaking that animals do to release stored fear in the body. It have helped me tremendously in many areas of my emotional health.
