Befriending Fear to Harness A New Fuel Source

…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.

I went to a dance competition this last weekend, and I used the fear melters again and again to process fear around showing up and being seen. I danced better than I’ve ever danced before, and my dance partner Bailey and I ended up winning. The moves we did are all improvised, but we decided…

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…

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.

… 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. I liked what Katie said Tuesday, something like “Integrity is the best way to create Safety.” I notice that Root helps me feel solid and complete, i.e. wholeness…

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…

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!!

I chose to give love scoops to my lower back (I felt a call to there). I felt a current of delicious spark energy move through me. Like I had plugged in an area in my body that was super charged to receive love energy. I savored the buzz and then did it again and…

…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…..

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…

When feeling fear, the oozing had a different kind of effect than the other Fear Melters … I almost felt like I surrendered fully to the emotion — like melting — absolutely no resistance … like a rock with water just going around me … I felt sheltered and safe somehow like the fear washed…

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…

…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.

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.

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…

Crazy thought this morning—After noticing how much better I feel after Fear Melters and creative joint play, I wondered if the aches and pains I’ve recently experienced are just a bunch of knotted fears that have accumulated over 6-8 years of elder caregiving. Could be as simple as the aging process, but when I reflect upon…

I made a discovery this morning doing Fear Melters. I’ve been doing them to music and today I noticed that my attention was on the music more than on my body’s experience of Fear Melters. I’m wondering into how I can deepen my practice of fear melters so that I’m fully present. I feel like…

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…

As I entered into the last 30-45 seconds of doing love scoops this morning, I experienced a clear message to hold my hands open palmed as I scooped towards my heart. Since I busted my Agreement Cop earlier this week, I’ve spontaneously been humming deep resonant sounds that reverberate my chest area. I’m feeling tender…

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…
