Breath Conquers Fear
Awakening in a cold sweat, nightmarish dreams shatter the peace of an evening's slumber. It's no secret that breath rate will increase in fearful situations. In some cases it is possible to become "frozen" with fear. Breathing becomes so difficult that fright is suffocating us.
It could be said that fear controls breath, but is the opposite actually the truth? Can mastery of breath conquer fear? Waking up in the dead of night, demons appear in frightening apparitions, piercing deeply into the nether regions of the soul. As I let breath reign supreme, trepidation slowly fades back into the darkness from whence it came. The majesty of the breath is mightier than the weapons of fear.
The power of the breath is all around us but seldom tapped. When faced with fear I consciously concentrate on my breath. As it slows the fear subsides. After a short while I actually wonder what I was afraid of, afraid of nothing.
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Once the breath permeates our psyche, fear is replaced by wisdom. Bravery of heart wells up within. If evil cannot scare us it cannot control us. When control is finally broken then we are free. Decision made in freedom are always the wisest. Decisions made in fear always lead to misery.
Refuse to be a slave of fear! Rise up and conquer the demons lurking deep inside. Take time to let the power break the chains of bondage. Become masters of our destiny.
