Fear Will Not Win

Before any imagery, you are asked to remember things you have already overcome, including moments you are proud of. The idea is that this strength and resilience is still within you, and you can use it to move in a direction you choose. It gives the later visualization something real to build on.

The bright white light is your courage, shining out of your body like an aura. You imagine walking through an upcoming situation wrapped in it, overcoming it, and then picturing a positive outcome. Nathan says doing this tends to leave you more hopeful about what is to come.

You walk a pathway into a cave glimmering with crystals, and their different colours flow into your aura. Each colour is a different strength, such as forgiveness, willingness and perseverance. You are invited to picture whichever strength you need arriving in your body, almost like charging up.

When you step out of the cave it is night, and stars shine on you. Your aura absorbs their energy, and you feel the strength of your ancestors, who faced war, famine and disease so that you could be here. You sit and watch the stars, taking in a sense of pride.

At the close, you open your eyes, wiggle your fingers and toes, and notice your body in the room. You are encouraged to carry the courage into your day or night. The closing words, trust yourself and trust the process, are easy to repeat when the moment arrives.
