Most of the stuff you fear is nothing more than toothless paper tigers.

.

Man fear failure, pain, loss, embarrassment, rejection, and a wide range of other stuff. Why do we allow the element of fear to play such a devastating role in our lives? The main reason seems to be that we don’t want to endure pain, discomfort and anxiety because we don’t enjoy the feelings that flood our body and mind. Have the thought ever cross your mind that we don’t fear the same stuff universally? Some of us will allow a spider to sit in our hand without showing any anxiety or fear. Some of us will give a speech in front of a massive audience and enjoy it. There are those that seem to be immune to verbal abuse and rejection. A thick skin repels verbal abuse like a rug treated with a soil repellent. The reason why we have different fear patterns is because those that conditioned us during childhood had different things that they feared during your formative years. There are certain fears that are more universal. Religion and politics in the area where you grew up is usually responsible for specific fears. Fear became a universal control system that is used openly, but more often than not subliminally by governments, religion, banks etc. to put you in an almost endless state of fear. Look around you and you will discover that the whole system was designed to control the masses. The more we fear the thicker the walls become around us that keep us a prisoner. We fear rejection and take endless abuse by our partner. We fear financial pressure and eat the abuse of a slave driving boss daily. We fear crime and build prisons with high walls with barbwire that we live in. We are also controlled by our fear of other races, religions, political groups and the potential of disasters like earth warming or the second coming of Christ. We often fear Muslims and Muslims hate (form of fear) Christian. Can you see the endless invisible chains that keep us locked in a state of mental paralysis? The only way that you can escape the fear trap is to see things as they are and not the way that your controllers want you to view them. Take anything you fear and start researching it. Make it your business to fully understand the dynamics of the subject of your research. Dig deep and ask questions. Knowledge will set you free. Knowledge shines a light in the dark dungeons where fear hides in your mind. Most of the stuff you fear is nothing more than toothless paper tigers that make a lot of noise. Be bold and select one subject today that you would like to expose to the light. I guarantee you that there is virtually nothing that can threaten you once you start applying this principle. Remember someone is benefiting from your fear. Ask yourself who is benefiting from your state of fear and you will identify your fear source and at the same time grasp his/her or their motivation.

So much of our daily tension/caused by control/attempt to control.

Breathe

Our breath can be used as an effective tool to assist in eliminating those tight knots and painful areas. 

Muscles will contract without our knowledge or control as a way to “splint” or protect an injured area, or as a reaction to other tight muscles pulling on bones. This contraction prevents oxygen, blood, and nutrients from reaching the affected tissues which in turn causes the tissues to send pain signals to the brain in order to let us know something isn’t right.

This pain will cause further contractions and less oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the area, and thus more pain signals followed by more contractions which locks us into a pain-spasm cycle.

Breath slowly, inhaling through your nose and exhaling out your mouth.

Breath into your belly rather than your chest.

“Breathe into” those painful knots and adhesions. Even if they are in your arms or legs, visualize your inhaling breath traveling down the extremities and wrapping around that painful knot. With your exhaling breath, imagine blowing out the “gunk” in that knot along with all the carbon dioxide and other gaseous waste byproducts that our bodies expel.

Relax

A really good massage often makes us realize that the simple act of relaxation is easier said than done.

As you breathe, allow your body to melt and sink more and more into the comforting support underneath you with every exhale.

AVOID ASSISTING – Keep your limbs heavy if/when the therapist moves them around. While the therapist is working on more sensitive areas, do a mental check to see if you might be unconsciously contracting the surrounding muscles.

Let Go

So much of our daily tension is caused by control and the attempt to control. We are constantly controlling ourselves to stay on task, sit up straight, pay attention, etc. and often we attempt to control things that are beyond our power such as relationships, people, and situations. This becomes tiresome, and the tension it causes will creep up and settle in our tissues. It will cause connective tissue to build up and harden.

When getting a massage, it is of vital importance that you are comfortable with your therapist and that you are in an environment that allows you to comfortably let your guard down. A good massage therapist will give a brief explanation of what to expect during a massage in order to avoid any sudden surprises, especially if they are working around areas of modesty, or if they plan on doing any movement therapy. The massage therapist should make it clear that the client is in complete control in terms of what gets worked on, how much pressure is used, etc.

During a massage, the main thing the client should focus on is to just let it all go. Quit fighting. Deep rhythmical breaths, combined with a “hurts so good” amount of pressure and a conscious relaxation of any involuntary muscle contractions should bring the client into a deeply relaxed state.

Let the therapist find and hit our reset buttons, let ourselves shut down and reboot, lie back and “have” a massage.
