Deep dives
Understanding fear and working with it
Fearlessness comes from understanding fear and working with its energy. Fearlessness is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to embrace fear and transform it. By moving into the feeling of fear in the body and offering it compassion, the fear starts to change and transform. The goal is not to eliminate fear, but to change our relationship with it, which allows us to suffer less. Through meditation and mindfulness, we can tap into our own awareness and discover a deeper sense of happiness and resilience.
