The Symptoms of FEAR
When working with clients our commitment is always to get to the core or the root cause of the interferences so that our clients can move forward in their lives unencumbered by the past. We have spent much of the last year examining the consequences of the decisions that are made in the face of fear and the operating systems the ego, or mind, puts in place to protect us from that fear. These show up as behaviors and, when we are conscious of them, are not pleasant to experience. Sometimes we are unconscious and unaware that our experience can be different.Whenever we observe behaviors, attitudes and postures in our clients, ourselves or others that are unattractive, it is likely that fear is the driving motivator under that display of energy. Fortunately, we no longer have to try to cognitively override the consequences of fear or tolerate the behaviors fear causes in our being. These behaviors are, after all, not who we are but a symptom of something else.
The focus of our work at Rockit has been to ask the questions:
“What else is going on?”
“What is really at the core of this issue?”
We know the various states of being that we observe in humanity are due to fear and the enabling of these survival states by the ego or mind. Once fear is removed from the equation, the survival states are no longer necessary. We don’t want to vilify the ego as being bad or evil, just to be aware that the ego’s job is to protect us and protective postures and closed possibilities are the end result of that effort.
Survival states are the states enabled by the ego to keep us safe.
Examples of these states include and are not limited to:
Being judgmental
Being externally referenced
Comparing
Avoiding our intuitive knowing
Having expectations
Being attached to how we think things should be
Trying to keep everything the same
Trying to control the outcome
Creating interpretations and stories
Blaming
Ignoring
Disconnecting
Checking out
Criticizing
Complaining
Doing
Overeating
Addictions
There are literally hundreds of these states and they all have one thing in common:
They are symptoms of something much deeper that is holding us in a state of being that is not in alignment with who we are. It is not the symptom we need to focus on and address. We know that energy flows where attention goes. The universal principles of attraction dictate that we will attract to us more of what we focus on. Beating ourselves up to try and change these behaviors or addressing these behaviors without dismantling the core belief(s) that created them may cause some change but it will not cause the lasting, profound and deep results that occur when the core issue is addressed.
When we find out what is really going on and shift the energy with the Rockit Method of Consciousness Shifting, we create an opportunity for a new experience, one that is centered in wholeness. The truth is that we then return to our essential nature and begin to embody the states of being that are our birth right.
These states include and are not limited to:
Peace
Joy
Love
Contentment
Passion
Knowing
Trust
Safety
Wonder
Expansion
Growth
Awareness
Presence
Allowing
Receptivity
Being
I am sure you can see how much more appealing living from the states of one’s birthright is than life from the narrow confines of the survival state. The trick is eliminating the stimulus that causes the effect… i.e. the states of being that are not congruent with who we really are.
The Rockit Method of Consciousness Shifting has been proven to be an effective, lasting, elegant, and efficient way of moving from being in a survival state to being in wholeness. Our basic Consciousness Shifting program will teach you to do this for yourself and others should you wish to incorporate this body of work into your repertoire.
