Coming Home to Yourself Through Fear Melters®

In these resources you will discover the power of Fear Melters®, which were developed by Katie Hendricks. Each of the Fear Melters® supports you in coming home to yourself by befriending and shifting fear to presence and new choice. You’ll learn about the four ways our brain reacts in fear and the four shift moves that can restore inner harmony, balance and expanded possibility. These powerful body intelligence-based practices will assist you in centering yourself and freeing up choice – even in stressful and challenging circumstances.

The four Fear Melters® are: Wiggle, Ooze, Root, and Love Scoops.

Note: We are integrating a change to Fear Melters®. We have shifted the icon and instructions for melting the flee response to Root, which we think will be more aligned with the other melters and available to more people.

Fear Melters® Testimonials

Greg Newman

I’ve been playing with finding my “sweet spot“ with my fear melters. When I’m moving, I’m feeling into the speed and rhythm and movement until it feels just right in my body. Like Goldilocks. If I’m moving too much or too quickly, I might still be aware of my body, but my awareness of my…

Steven Fisher

I Love Root! I too have often fled into my head, thinking that would keep me safe. I now see it as isolating myself from Life.

Janell Ranae Rempel

In this morning’s Love in Action live call, Kathlyn Hendricks suggested we could send Love Scoops to someone thousands of miles away, and I immediately thought of my mom and sent her some love… Then, a little after the call, I was chatting with her and my brother in our family chat, and I let…

Angela Kaiser

This is awesome!!! There is something powerful when syncs show up like this … and the Root stance is such a great warrior move … in shaking/dancing, I am really enjoying the new “viking” style bands (wardruna and The Hu etc) and songs for really awakening my inner masculine … definitely a powerful Fear Melters!!

A. Shannon

After doing Fear Melters daily with my coach I was amazed at just how good I felt all day. I didn’t know I could feel this good all day.

Angela Kaiser

…In other words, facing and feeling the fear, moving it through my body and then loving myself with compassion allowed me to have some compassion for her. And now I’m able to actually serve her better.

Terry Morganti-Fisher

When I first started doing Fear Melters, I was challenged by feeling the love scoops. My arms were scooping, scooping, and I was visualizing heart shaped rain drops, showers of loving waterfalls —you name it !— and I felt nothing. Until… I looked out the window. I’m discovering how visual and tactile my learning style…

Sophia Kim

While doing my fear melters this morning I had the thought that “I wonder if a grounding Root would be supportive when I notice that I am fleeing to my head.” I giggled when I pulled the Integrity deck card Fear Melter: “I recognize the leaving quality of my body fleeing and easily shift into…

Chanel Finnegan

…I love this share and the realization of being able to do these practices while on the phone. I love that before a virtual workshop I can do 2 minutes of Fear Melters in the room I’m presenting in. I’m noticing a little voice encouraging me to try them in person too…..

Michele Yasuda

I noticed when I was sharing love scoops with a client recently that they were just going through the motions. The scoops were not landing emotionally. Once they began to land the scoops on their body with a small pause, there was a slight softening in they’re face. I like the idea of scooping something…

Greg N.

I’ve been playing with seeing how subtly I can do Fear Melters, so that I can feel them on the inside but they are virtually undetectable from the outside.

Terry Morganti-Fisher

I resonated with the thought of doing FM’s while moving through my “normal” life. I felt so playful as I made my movements larger (taking up more space in the world) and kept moving forward. It gave me a burst of aliveness and I still feel the reverberations of playful energy. Delicious way to start…

Steven F.

It didn’t take long for me to start a timer on Google for FOUR minutes and start doing Fear Melters. As I went through some of the usual moves, I noticed I was shifting from love scoops to spontaneously slapping my chest and legs, not really hurting myself, it was more like matching the slaps…

Kristina Turner

My intention for today is to love my eyes. Giving them tender love scoops already. I am willing to love my eyes AND I think there’s something wrong with them. I think I have had that thought since I first experienced distance blurring in high school. I feel sad. And teary. Like I didn’t let…

Michele Yasuda

…I like to add “HERE I AM” to my Root — and I love lifting up and then dropping my heels and saying “here I am” as a way to presence.

Darlene Bellis

While doing love scoops every morning for weeks I noticed a place I was NOT sending love… my fingernails. I had had a life long habit of biting my nails to the point of bleeding. I had generated tremendous shame (and pain) throughout my life with this embarrassing vice. So, I began sending drops of…

Patrick Broom

The other night I woke up in the middle of the night from a tense dream, a nightmare. Laying there in bed, feeling my body so nervous and activated I went directly into doing Fear Melters® right there, in bed. I started with Ooze and Wiggling with a bit of extra shaking while I breathed…

Michael Deloughery

While coaching a client, I had the opportunity to witness the immediate effective of doing FMs. The client expressed about an issue which seemed to me to include feeling fear. I asked if that was accurate. Then I asked what sensations on the Fast-Aid for Fear Melters sheet they noticed were happening right now. After…

Linda Wellenbach

When I first started doing Fear Melters, I was challenged by feeling the Love Scoops. My arms were scooping, scooping, and I was visualizing heart shaped rain drops, showers of loving waterfalls – you name it ! – and I felt nothing. Until… I looked out the window. I’m discovering how visual and tactile my learning…

Susanne Wagner

Doing day #2 this morning, I pulled the Fear Melter “Love Scoops” and learned a lot about my hidden resistances against gathering good feelings and well- being… hmmmmm…. a day of new discovery, so thankful.
