WITH CHRISTINE HASSLER

Is there a cure for fear?

We all know that fear, anxiety, and worry limit our potential, harm our relationships, affect our ability to thrive financially, and hold us back from fulfilling our life purpose.

Yet sometimes they get the best of us. It can be challenging to pull out of fear, anxiety or worry especially when they feel really real.

The last few days I was encountering a lot of unexpected anxiety about a choice I made. And the funny thing is that the choice is actually creating really exciting things in my life. So why was I so concerned?

Most of me knew that this fear and worry that was affecting my sleep was completely made up and a waste of my energy. I mean, come on, I teach this stuff! Since it wasn’t going away, I asked what the fear could be teaching me because our feelings are often messengers.

When I stopped fighting with the fear and compassionately listened, I realized that my anxiety was really tied to an old misunderstanding that I wasn’t “deserving.” There was a part of me that was afraid that something would go wrong because couldn’t possibly be so good. I was able to work with this part, forgive myself for buying into that misunderstanding and come back to the present moment.

I am so relieved I was able to work through the fear because it was keeping me from gratitude. It was affecting my ability to step fully into my gifts and enjoy them. It was preventing me from feeling aligned with my purpose. My voice of the small self was getting much louder that the brave, wise voice of what my dear friend Lissa Rankin calls my “Inner Pilot Light.”

Does fear ever divert you from your purpose? Does worry keep you from feeling the peace you long for? Does worry prevent you from feeling gratitude?

Or is fear literally making you sick?

Then you are going to love the new book The Fear Cure: Cultivating Courage As Medicine For The Body, Mind & Soul, from Lissa Rankin, MD. In this book, Lissa shares with you the scientific data proving that fear isn’t just an uncomfortable emotion that limits your ability to fully step into your soul’s purpose in what poet Mary Oliver calls “this one wild and precious life.” Fear is also a significant risk factor for disease.

But don’t worry! This book is not meant to scare you more. In fact, it’s filled with hope, inspiration, and practical prescriptions for ramping up your courage and milking your fear for all it’s worth so you can let fear cure YOU.

I had the privilege and pleasure of being interviewed as part of Lissa’s PBS special on The Fear Cure and boy did we get into some juicy conversations!! We talked about what our fears can teach us and I got to learn the “6 Steps for Cultivating Courage” that Lissa teaches in the book.

Lissa is one of the people in my life I call when I feel scared because I know that she can hold the space for my fear and help me remember who I truly am. She will do the same for you in The Fear Cure. Rather than offer you a “quick-fix” for fear, Lisa will lovingly guide you through a process to allow fear to cure you. In her gentle and wise voice, Lissa walks you through the process of how to reshape your relationship to uncertainty so that it’s no longer something to dread, but a doorway to new possibilities.

You can preview The Fear Cure and get your free “Prescription for Courage Kit.”

And just a few words of caution: This book is likely to infect you with “pronoia,” the opposite of “paranoia,” the belief that everything in the universe is conspiring to support you. What if you developed a raging case of pronoia? Who might you be and what might you do if you knew that you are infinitely safe and that everything in the Universe is conspiring to support you? What cosmic purpose might be awaiting you right now?

Afraid to find out? I dare you to leap into your true nature and allow yourself to be used in service to that which wants to be born in the world through you.

I am leaping with you.

Much love,

Christine
