Healing Fear & Anxiety

It is a huge arena, big enough to hold millions of people, which the group has built together in the mind's eye. You take a seat and notice it is filled with loving energy. You are reminded that you and the others created that energy with your thoughts and feelings, so you are supported rather than alone.

First you recall simple good things, such as a compliment, a favourite taste, the sound of rain or a long hug. Then a warm golden light spreads from your heart through your arms, hands, legs and feet, and back to your heart. Later you sense the light of those around you merging with yours into a stronger, protective field. It expands with each inhale and relaxes with each exhale.

Zeeba suggests that anxiety often comes from imagining a dark future and fearing an unwanted outcome. You are invited to see the unknown as an adventure instead. You also rest in the present, where your basic needs are met: clean air, food, water and shelter.

The session expects this. It asks you to notice any reluctance, such as the belief that lowering your guard invites bad things, or that not worrying means you are not being responsible. You simply observe it, then return to your inner awareness and the present moment, without forcing a response.

It teaches you to notice your reaction in the moment. Take a few deep breaths, feel your emotions and body, and see any urge to resist, retaliate or run away. Your awareness is the part that notices those urges, and it isn't limited by the past. From there you can choose a fresh response, and the session says not to fake calm or act like a saint.

You pick one thing you would like to see unfold in a space of inner peace, something you can influence. You move it from your head down into your heart, plant it as a seed, and release it on an exhale. The session asks you to trust, without needing to know how it will happen, and then to think about the next right action.
