To heal fear

[WhiteWarrior]

I am learning healing, and am having some success. While considering a case just now, the tootache thread to be specific, it struck me that while I cannot fix the tooth itself without being able to visualise the cause perfectly, an alternate route would be to help the patient by removing the fear of dentists so he could go to one. I happen to have severe fear of dentists myself and can completely sympathise with the poor guy. (Not that I would just start healing without getting specific permission first.) So now the question is, how do I remove fear? I have a few remote healing abilities regarding removing the sensation of pain, and some other minor tricks, but when it comes to fear I just don't know how to approach neither the energetic nor the physical body. Any suggestions? I can see how this would come in very handy in the future.

You overcome fears and pains by facing these. If in dreams, go up to them and offer your unconditional love. What you do in dreams and imaginations will manifest in so called "reality"

Mayflow, are you saying I should put on a dentist outfit and enter his mind as a nightmare he can defeat?

Not likely.

You can’t remove fear for another, but you can be in a valuable teacher role in mentioning some things that may be useful for them to consider. You can empathize w/ them, reassuring them that we all go through dealing w/ fear, (http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=156009#post156009) encourage them to deal w/ their own thoughts, & let them know that many have successfully moved past fear & so can they. By being a teacher about how they move through fear by providing them useful information you are healing them, even if this is healing by another technique.

In the Aquarian era, healers will increasingly move from the Piscean model of doing it for others who would never imagine they could do this (magical) healing for their self to being teachers who will facilitate the individual moving into working increasingly w/ their own energies. There will be an increasing need for healers who also function as teachers as energy medicine becomes as widely used as supplements are now.

WW... You can't just 'remove fear' like it was thorn, because the kind you're talking about is embedded in the programming in the subconscious mind.

I suggest looking into two energy healing methods that are known to remove fear patterns when used correctly.

EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques http://EFTuniverse.com (http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/redir.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiritualforums.co m%2Fvb%2Fredir.php%3Flink%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252FEFT universe.com)

The Healing Code... best explored in the book by that name.

This is all from personal experience...I dont claim to have the answers but maybe something I know will help.

From what I know, often half of the fear people feel is their body reacting to a thought they have. Although the thought or observation that sparked the fear can't be undone, the reaction to the feeling of fear and the strength of the fear itself can be altered or perhaps channeled into another less intense emotion (like slight nerviousness or heightened awareness rather than the former fear.)

Altering fear can happen via logic (thinking about the situation and figuring out if you should be scared and why....etc,) removing oneself from the situation entierly (if you have to,) through relaxation techniques (deep breathing, counting down from ten, visualisations...etc) or through repetitive exposure to the fear (which builds up a natural tollerance for it...unless its a phobia or simply not appropriate for the situation.)

I do have some alternate methods, though I don't know whether anyone else would be able to make use of them....but I'll write it out anyways.

If you have the skill, its handy to be able to alter other peoples energies and emotions on a subtle metaphysical and phyical level...which is what I do.


Personally, when a person is genuinely frightened, I often instinctually catch that persons gaze and "hold" it. This removes their attention from their emotions and makes them loose themselves 'in' my eyes, then I talk to them in a soothing voice and tell them what I feel they need to hear to make them feel safe (physical contact makes the affect stronger) while warming up my aura and encircling them with it (causing them to relax their muscles and become sleepy.)

After a moment I "let go" of their attention and they are usually much more stable and clear headed.

Of course the technique doesn't work for terror or in life threatening situations (well, not as far as I know) and I don't think it would help if I myself am afraid as well.

so yeh....hopefully that gives you some ideas.

I would definitely agree with Xan. I've seen some great success, particularly with fear of dentists with EFT..

My problem was the fear of not seeing a dentist for a dozen years lol.. ahh finally got dental care for the first time since I was a child.. what I'd been needing and hoping for for years! So I can't relate to the dentist fear lol.. but I can relate to fear.. maybe if the ones fearing the dentist could see the mouths of those who fear not seeing a dentist :tongue:

EFT should work wonders though ♥

cool stuff mattie!

If I understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Freedom_Technique correctly, EFT is a matter of putting pressure of certain body coordinates while making affirmative statements?

Sangress, I can see how a hypnotic gaze combined with an aura wrapping will calm down the patient then and there at least. I am quite interested in learning how to change their metaphysical energies as this is more useful for me who mainly work healing from a distance.

However. I was able to communicate with my spirit guide on this matter, and what he said was that while I CAN find out what fear looks like on the energetic level and then take it away, it is important that I don't remove all the fears. A man without fear will walk in front of speeding cars if he feels he has a chance to make it, and you don't survive long in a city like that. Which means I better proceed with caution.

Sigh. The more I learn about healing, the harder it seems. Not so much the causing-effect part as the dont-kill-the-patient-in-the-process part.

No, not putting on pressure. EFT uses acupressure points, the same as those used in acupuncture but with the fingers, to release negative patterns in the body and mind at the energy level. It works amazingly well, when used correctly.

Yes, there's a lot to learn about healing... how the body-mind-energy system works, and how it can be healed.
