Mind worry fear. Part of developing spiritually is to learn about fear and worry by understanding the concept. Many people think worry is caused by an event or a possible future event and it can be.
But worry & anxiety are just an emotions attached to the mind or heart. They trigger under many circumstances especially a loss of control or understanding.
This emotion then attaches to a physical object or event to gain traction over the mind, to add wieght. It’s important when worries crop up to realise that often the worry and the object of worry are completely separate and unrelated.
It is the mind’s worry pattern which is trying to exert itself and so attaches to a likely target, a weakness, or an important even, so it can express itself fully. This is a recurring issue and constant awareness is needed to wear it down over many years.
The same can be said for many emotions, wants, patterns that wish to exert themselves. They have to attach to an object or person in order to fulfill their function.
Constant awareness – focussing on upper chakras – while staying grounded at the same time. Not so easy.
I have been practising this for many years and still there is worry, fear and anxiety present and still it is disconcerting, but less so, much less. I can look at these emotions from further away. I can spot the gap between the emotion and what it has attached to. There is some distance between me and it. But still it is there and still is can be an obstacle and cause worry, anxiety & fear but it is less and I am aware of it which helps a great deal.
Acceptance as life as the path. Life was never meant to be easy so along the way there are going to be troubling moments and difficulties which can create different emotions which can cloud our judgment and block out the spiritual light. Learn to be just a little aloof, a little distance with the upper mind and its awareness separating fact from fiction.
