How To Overcome Fear Of The Dark 

Only fear of the dark I have is low objects, high doorsteps and lego!

I recommend to anyone who is afraid of going out at night to first try it on the days of the full moon. Instead of pitch black or bright as day, it's like having the nightlight on in the bathroom. (Sorry, I'm a city girl.) You can see everything clearly. Once you get really comfortable with the full moon🌕, start going out later in the month. 🌔 Until you work up to the new moon 🌑 (where there's hardly any moonlight.) 💖🌞🌵😷

What always surprises me is how bright it is at night during the full moon. Last time I moved, it was the week of the full moon and there was plenty of moonlight to load and unload my pickup. Yes, I had the porch light on, but there wasn't any electric light where I parked the pickup. 💖🌞🌵😷

The iconic riffs of Iron Maiden's song "Fear of the dark" started playing in my head as soon as I read the caption of the video :D Sometimes when camping out at night I'll be frozen for minutes or maybe half an hour, just breathing very shallow, sitting or standing, trying to hear everything but not give off any clues that I'm there. It's somewhat beautiful but also hard to snap out before getting too cold from not moving/not getting camp ready. What you do not need in that situation, is the scream of a barn owl - especially, if you don't know, what animal it belongs to. Sounds like someone's being slaughtered next to you... so scary! Same with deers calling. It's so important to be able to put the animal to these sounds to not freak out :)

I absolutely love being out at night. The smells are different, the sounds, and of course the constellations. I can take "night walks" as we call them around my neighborhood with the dogs and kids, but sadly wed have to drove a fair way to take a hike safely at night. We have rather sizable unhoused population in my area who camp near our river and trails.😢

"You are not afraid of being alone in the dark, you are afraid you are not alone in the dark"

This is a wonderful reminder. Thank you.

One of the things that often scare me when im camping alone at night is big trees rubbing against each other, making this uncanny high pitch screeching noise. Kinda sounds like a scream if its some distance away from you. Thank you for the video, great as always 😊❤

I love these videos. Glad you're doing them again. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

I really liked your suggestion to wear a blindfold inside your home where you feel safe and know where everything is located (no eye pokes at home). .. to build confidence but truthfully even on the darkest nights, you can still see somethings, things that help with echo location. Yes, I might have missed that twig, but I've never walked head on into a big tree. So maybe starting with just turning off all the lights in you home and just sitting with the flashlight off. With all the screens people deal with, many are uncomfortable just sitting in the dark inside their own home being in the moment, much less being outside. 💖🌞🌵😷

My main fears would be dangerous animals (snakes, scopions, etc.), dangerous people (gang members) and sprits. These are my main fears in general, but I never ventured in the dark (yet), despite liking it a lot. The darkness of the night is magnificent.

Everything you said is true. On my road trip I became very comfortable in the night in the middle of nowhere and it was exciting and fun and vastly different from the day. Thank you for sharing!❤🙏

It's fun to go night hike and look for the feral people!

Ive seen a lot of large spiders build a night-time web in pathways and other places that would otherwise be clear. My vision isn't what it used to be and my main fear is walking through their webs. 😅

Re-Place "fear" with "curiosity"...; with "Wonder". What an EXcellent "alchemical', Scientific 'experiment' to re-Fine Our "Inner Selves". How many usefull, practical, easily 'absorbed' Truths We learn at Re-Wildin' U. 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky

I live in Houston and unfortunately it never gets dark here anymore. I have to drive about 2 hours to get anywhere the darkness still falls at night.

If you think you know your property or a patch of land but haven't explored it at night, then you don't know that property or land.

'The Dark'. Lions and Tigers and Bears! Only those beasties seldom bother people, especially people that don't bother them. Lived in serious bear areas in Alaska and NEVER ONCE was bothered. Even with leaving tempting food laying around 24/7/365! But really now. I like the dark. in winter time, with the shorter days, I often come home well after dark, and ya know what? My 'night vision' gets better, and my 'normal' vision gets better by way of the increased use they get. However, 'The Darkness' in a metaphorical sense scares me very badly, and what scares me about it the most is just how much of it I formerly thought was 'cool' simply because of societal conditioning. Makes me truly wonder how much more I still have not become aware of, and the incredible commitment to Spiritual Cleansing needed to clear it out of my life and KEEP IT OUT!

When I was twelve years old, I used to watch late night horror movies on TV, then creep upstairs in the dark so as not to wake my parents. Subsequently, I was never much frightened by the dark. Unfortunately, I am no longer frightened by horror movies, either.

I do not fear the dark I prefer it in fact, that’s why I get up at 2 in the afternoon and stay up until about five in the morning. For whatever reason I like to sleep during the day falling asleep at sunrise is just so much easier for me than falling asleep at any other time during the day.

Hi, I would not recommend using a standard flashlight at night. In the dark, you develop night vision. It will take maybe half an hour or so to acquire the vision but using standard light you will lose it. The answer is to use (if you have to), flashlight with red filter and by doing so you will retain night vision without a problem. The system is used successfully by army and sailors at night. I hope it will help.

It is amazing how many wonderful things happen under the veil of the night; fireflies and other insects, amazing mammal and bird sightings, and, of course the starry night. I agree that it's importnat to learn how to activate our other senses while being surrounded by darkness. To be aware of ourselves when things are not the way we are used to is a skill we need to develop. I am so thankfull for my folks to send me every night to check if there was any connected electronic and to check for thedoors to be locked before going to sleep (with the lights turned off). I'm not going to lie, many nights I raced upstairs like a maniac. It eventually became a habit so natural that I was able to walk around home at night almost with the same pace and carelessness as I would in the day (lots memory and spatial awareness involved). Sadly, the luminic pollution has made hard to isolate from artificial light, we are not meant to be under constant light when we are supoosed to be sleeping (unless we live in high latitudes of course). Thanks for the great content.

I love all of your wisdom and your insights. Your voice is soothing and calming. You should always try hypnosis as another way to help people. I learned years ago to hunt at night only because i was homeless, but the fear had to go away first. Thats exactly how i did it. What you said was how i am now able to go without light into a Forrest of darkness to fi d something to eat, or just see. (See as in, you can still see in complete darkness in a à way) i don't have to hunt now, but I i ever do again, you just discribed to others how to if they ever have that need. Your voice again is so soothing that you should try hypnosis as another "gig" love your stuff.

Amazing 🖤

Yes i do have a fear of the dark. For me it is mainly the mind that go’s wondering off. I t could be in a building where I work all day alone and than suddenly when it’s dark the same building gives me the creeps. For me its not fear of animals ore strange creatures,it is my own mind making me scared. I guess i have had this since I was a kid. I am very much willing to overcome this fear and with the passing of the years it did get better but it’s not gone completely. I will use your approach to try and be more open and curious if it happens again and see if this helps for me. Thanks for your advice and talking about this subject. Best regards, Franc

I enJoyed the 'Beowolf' story...; Beolwolf's Daddy reMinded His Son how much of an "Ally" the darkness can be for a Warrior Who is busy "doing The Great Light Work". 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltucky
