I just realized that I live very much in the moment. I have gone through a lot and it would make sense for me to be fearful, but I don't even think about what's to come. I live each day only for the day. Thank you for this beautiful message. I truly enjoy your videos. They are very calming. Love your soothing voice. Thank you! 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
This was spot on and so necessary to have right now. Very relieving to know we are not alone in our humanity. Thank you for your guidance and wisdom. Godbless you.
With anxiety disorder/social anxiety running in my family, I know first hand chronic fear can be phenomenally stubborn. But there is no choice but to be with it over and over even as the years tick by.
Sometimes the quickest reactions can lead to much pain and suffering. I was once over 20 feet up in a tree when the branch I was on started to crack under my feet. Then I saw the only branch that I could easily reach. But before lunging towards this branch my eyes focused on the decay where the branch attached to the trunk of this tree. Had I jumped to that branch I would've fallen 20 plus feet to the ground. Instead I did what I never thought I could do. I bear-hugged the trunk and scooted down to the next integral branch, then made my way down out of this tree. Personally I think it's vital for me to remain calm even in the face of eminent danger. That way I can not only see more clearly a safe path out I can as well assess whether my path out of this or that danger is going to lead to a worse outcome than another path may offer.
@@entrepreneur4131 I have a couple of videos explaining why I know plus the hundred or so philosophy/psychology books I've read and my life experience growing up in south Florida
@@entrepreneur4131 I've suffered since birth and I truly never feared death only the death of others which I protected without any thought didn't matter if I knew you are not
Love is a universal truth It can not be explained Or conceptualized It can only be expressed We are expressions of love and fear An endless dance of energy The push and the pull of humanity Here to experience duality A lesson in our mortality There is no right or wrong Love can not exist without fear And fear is simply the lack of love An enless dance of contrast And always a lesson to be learned We are the human experience Simply here to exist To feel, smell, and touch To love, fear, and hate To be born, live... and die Its all by design We are in Gods mind
I really love the non contrasty natural environments that you make your videos. I like the mid tones. Very nice. The birds singing sounds are nice too. Thanks for making your videos this way.
What an informative video that touched me deeply, Currently I am experiencing fear that my elderly mother is in hospital following a fall with a fractured hip. I have great difficulty watching her suffer at this advanced age of 98 yrs. And although the surgery went well, I see her struggling and has affected my sleep with worry.

Do not resist fear let it surface , let it be and embrace its feeling in whatever state it is in and when patience has had her perfect work in you, let it go!
I have been living in this constant fear my whole life, 31 years. Fearing my family or boyfriend might die. It is exhausting to say the least. Thank You so much for these lifechanging videos.
Fear and pleasure are linked. Pleasure is something I’ve been watching in myself and see in our society is run off pleasure and fear. One day I’d come to see my wanting to see the sunset every day had become a pleasure no different than the man fulfilling his desire of list or greed. I have come to see without order I cannot truly even know what real meditation is. Everyday I am learning from myself. 🙏🏽
Hi Nada! Death obviates fear of dying. I enjoy and feel driven to watch down the tunnel for the on-coming train. I've never met anyone who wasn't like this; my children were also like this, sometimes becoming impatient even angry when it hasn't yet arrived when wanted. I even enjoy when the train pulls in to the station just as I anticipate it.
As I expend a lot of energy on anticipating things, it behooves me to learn how to enjoy this - to play with this anticipation like a game of pick-up-sticks where the stick doesn't move the others when I remove it just as I imagined or it does. Don't we enjoy this? It's not the moving or not moving of the sticks with which we are playing, but with our anticipation of this.
This is why we spend so much energy on fearing death (as you say). Look at all the books written, philosophies thought, buildings, waterways etc. built only with the fear of death - not death itself or the knowledge of this inevitability - in mind and our fear-inducing anticipation. This is how he - many - enjoy life. We do this by simply fearing death.
Great video. Your knowledge has been quite useful to me in daily life. By the way, I'd say that regarding the worse that could happen to a person (or at least just my two cents) is not 'death' but what could come before death like a debilitating illness (there are many) or an accident or injury etc. I don't particularly am afraid of death or fear that as much as those things because they could make your life real hell and could test you in ways that are unimaginable.
wonderful job, Nada. I find no fault at all in your presentation on fear. Moment by moment I saw that you were on target all the way through. I will give you honest feedback on your output every time I hear you.
Absolutely loving the new videos! Something about fear now - is it always a negative element? In the past years I learned that fear has brought me so much power to change myself, even to become more creative due to some anticipation. I know I might have been anxious about something, but I have to admit that it made me have new ideas and think of different ways of dealing with problems. Maybe in this process I have reframed fear and stopped fearing it that much as well. It became kind of like a fire that shapes me into a better version of myself every time I go through that need to grow. Am I missing something about all this or could fear also be seen as a very positive thing?
I don't fear death but do fear the way I die. But that is a irrational fear coming from the mind. I know this fear of suffering takes me away from the present moment, makes me suffer unnecessarily so I working on being totally present. I do know that others fear death more than anything. I had surgery years ago and the doctor listed all the possibilities that could go wrong. Death being the worst. For me it would have been having to live with further physical problems, not dying. We are conditioned to believe death is the worst thing. But need to Realize consciously that it is a natural part of life for every sentient being.
When fear, persists, we know it for what it is. It is a God-given (or universe given, if you prefer) opportunity to cultivate the type of courage that is born of humility rather than of bravado.
Guy! ThankU I really appreciate how you explain things. I must offer a slight adjustment. Psychological fear may well be embedded in the body, the neurology. I need to qualify fear of death, as fear of violence. My early life was a near death experience. I've gone through life with a torpedo through the abdomen, blade through the throat, a hammer to the skull. I've sought to bury this self knowledge. Denial doesn't work. To integrate, I need to consciously remember. Remember Chicken Little
Clearly explaned, aknowledgement of what I feel. I assume that thinking the worst possible scenario is a genetic thing once needed by generations before us to 'maximise' survival (of the fittest). Maybe the fysical stronger Neandertaler 'lacked' this quality. Fears will always be in us, as we grow whe might mutate the gen for our future generations. And by being aware we can change this also. Fear will always be a healthy part in our current lives, and we are in a (kind of constant minor fear-) challenge that provides innergrowth(?). thank you for your clearance. Let us be inspired to open one and everybody. positive .
I do like your music very much too. It is very mid tone too. I like it, not going to extremes and overly stimulating. Much like the backgrounds of the video. Where are you living ? Where is this?
You said that when we’re fully present in the here and now, there’s no fear. Physical symptoms of anxiety can still be present when there’s no thought and we probably have to stop resisting it.
The Ego has its own self preservation mechanisms because the last thing that ego wants to do is die. But in order to be resurrected in pure consciousness the ego must transform so the fear comes from the egos unwillingness to die. Therefore all fear stems from the soul from the ego , for it is an expression of the ego controlling the thoughts and emotions and intention of the heart and mind. Bc they that are not self aware are one with the ego and it controls those in that condition.
i think death should not be feared it should be welcomed... i can't think of a better motivator than death... i'm dying tomorrow? then maybe i will do this thing today i always wanted to do instead of postponing it again
I really do value your amazing insight and the articulate way you express yourself but find the background music very intrusive. Could we just listen to your voice and the sounds of nature around you please?
Connecting w/ Hanuman & / or Shesha makes a lot ov sense 4 this FEAR 2 mi iz lyk The Grudge , , It more [ ' descend(s) frm the heavens , black ' ] , , , once 1 haz handled their karma properly Psalm 91 & 1 ,, Om So Hum ,, BALG ~oppose~^
Death is the worst thing that could possibly happen. Ha ha you serious man? Death is a blessing compared to some of the things people go through in this world. Poverty torture murder rape starvation war severe mental illness. All worse than death.
I have a question. Your right for the most part and its something ive been working on for a long time. Its a lot of hard work. So my question is doesvit benifit us when we do pay attention to it and what the trigger was in the situation that brought upon the fear that didnt cause us to die but die in other perspectives. So to pay attention to the trigger so we dont end up in the same bad situation thats my question? Also what would you suggest I'm just trying to get another perspective on how to avoid getting overwhelmed by a fear
I would say, it depends on the trigger. If it's something which is actually likely to cause you harm, then probably best to avoid it. But if it's something that frightens us that can't actually hurt us.. in those cases, avoiding the trigger can be avoiding our own healing. Even in that case, you can ease your way into it if it's too much to face all at once.
@@AwakenInsight the harm caused the trigger but also the the trigger caused harm it happens at the same time leaving me confused and isolating myself to heal. I dont mean too but i sometimes isolate myself probably longer then i should but it also takes me longer to heal then other people. If im triggered and in the process of healing i can easy be triggered again taking more energy. I dont know but I usually want my fear or the trigger to be inaccurate but the problem is that it is accurate every time and it happens a lot. Ive tried talking to other people but they dont understand at all im so accurate in fact sometimes people attach themselves thinking im have some sort of power which is kind of crazy
@@AwakenInsight one more thing I tried to ignore the trigger and give the chance of showing me that its inaccurate but it always proves that im right and then causes me harm that perspective too . So what do i do? This causes problems
@@michaelaschwab3061 Are you sure you're always right? If that's the case then what's the situation? Maybe it isnt a healthy place your at, mentally or physically because you're thinking it will happen, and then it does. In my opinion, theres no need to think about it because whatever happens good or bad it's always gonna come with some sort of lesson in a way but you're expecting it like it's a normal thing? that's what makes me think about what kind of situation it is
I feel fear because somebody is psychically attacking me. I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel dark energy around me. I've heard also dark beings feed off our fear. So when one is under intense psychic attack & evil, it's only natural to feel fear. To stay calm & centred, in that situation is to conquer fear.
I was fear of night when I was living alone in forest and it was ashram but worngly I did alcohol and I call to owner he came to know I am on alcohol next day I was fired. From the ashram I am in Spain as a rafugee.
Everything is words is being sugar cotting by lies layers layers of lie ...original is no longer real what is real is no longer known to be pured but evil ....we try to help but is no longer appreciated yes we do what is born in the heart ...but is also used againts us ....i no longer need im just surviving ...just appreciating but no longer resist critics lies from my own family
1st John 4:18 there is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out all fear..... Fear exists only in the wounded ego aka sinful flesh nature. Fear is an indicator, If one is experiencing fear, it is bc one has not taken the time to reconcile an issue that requires attention thus giving place to fear, once the apparent issue is found and acknowledged and accepted, and permitted to run its course, then it transforms into love. Like a caterpillar to a butterfly transforming in the space of the chrysalis ( tomb) death , burial and resurrection. Yes just like Jesus!
