There Is Nothing to Be Afraid Of

Sometimes we somehow get frightened, and a fear gets into the subconscious mind. Consciously din into the mind that you are immortal and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Think in a positive way. Boldly meditate on it. Convince your conscious mind, and let the conviction sink into the subconscious mind. You can even make a tape of your own, put it under your pillow, and literally sleep on it. It will slowly sink into your subconscious mind. The fear has gone into the subconscious, and you need to replace it with positive thoughts.

So until the new ideas sink in, keep listening to them. Your mind is not completely sleeping, and your subconscious mind will still be listening to the tapes. When you are awake, consciously think of it, write down a reminder that you can read now and then. Put reminders everywhere until it’s completely rooted out. Do all the positive things you can think of.

There are other ways also. But the yogic way is to put a new, opposite thought into the mind so that the undesirable thought will be squeezed out. And if you can’t do it all by yourself, get help from others.
