Breaking the Code of Fear 2: Examples
In the last post I introduced what having fear means, which, in the simplest terms, means that you are being called to a form of courage. Remember to see my videos on tiktok. They are also very informative. I am “dreamdoctor9”.
Fear of Being Constrained. This often occurs when you have been parented by a perfectionist or have one as a supervisor. Metaphorically it is like a constrictor snake like a python. The tendency when being constrained is to try to do things without mistakes which is impossible. This then leads to inaction. The fear is trying to take you to more freedom in action which is part of creativity or playfulness. It usually resides in the lungs or throat. The important thing is to not fight all of the rules and procedures that perfectionists demand, but to embrace freedom in action such as being much more playful in your artwork.
Fearful of Being Dominated/Overpowered: The origin of domination can be parental such as having a parent who uses to force to keep you from moving in a direction that is consistent with your own true self. It can also be cultural or experiential such as the domination of men over women, one race over another. When you feel the fear of being overpowered, it results in feeling weak and lowly, unable to act. Metaphorically is like an angry grizzly bear. The fear goes away when you are your own grizzly bear of empowerment and strength inside. Inner strength keeps you going even when the odds are against you.
Fearful of Being Attacked Fiercely: Being attacked fiercely is like what happens in a sexual assault or an aggressive theft. It tends to be a single event that leaves you feeling completely completely defenseless and vulnerable. When you have this kind of fear, then you need an assertive type of courage. Assertive courage allows you to attack a goal as if you are a shark biting into it or a lion pouncing. The strength energy is a bit more enduring, but the assertive energy is required only for short burst to get things moving forward.
Fearful of Loud Noises or Crowds: Crowds or loud people have a tendency to shut down your ability to listen to your own inner guidance and wisdom. It is like a noisy, negative politician who is trying to prevent the truth from coming out or prevent people from from actually thinking about issues. Metaphorically the energy needed when you have this fear is the ability to go inward, to be a true introvert, cave-like. Being able to go inward for guidance keeps you on your own path rather than being subjected to someone else’s path.
Fearful of Drowning: The fear drowning has a lot to do with being in a really bad relationship where you are immersed in another person’s negative energy. It could also be a group of people like in a workplace. When you feel like you are drowning in a relationship, it means that you need to have the ability to related to other people’s positive energy, to connect with the positive energy in others. As you develop this ability the person that is drowning you will fade away.
Feel free to tell me about what energy your fear is calling you to.

The fear of drowning was always a recurring theme way back when.. looking back,vii see it was a real threat which I managed to just barely skate unconsciously out of harm’s way at the end by the grace of God. There was also a sigh, because there was a positive potential that also existed, but I couldn’t find an answer for.
