Title: “Norming the Natural: Fear Is A Part of Life”
Description: When we embark on the spiritual path, often the motivation is to end suffering. For most people, the presence of fear equates to the presence of suffering. Since we want to eliminate suffering, we often try to do so by denying, avoiding, or eliminating fear. But what if fear is not actually coming at us but instead coming for us, coming as a wake-up call, as a helpful reminder that we may be sleeping and that there is something present which is asking for our attention? In short, what if fear lies not as an impediment to spiritual progress but is actually pointing the way to the highest lesson we could be living and learning right now?
Join Anne Blanchard as she shares her journey of going from avoiding fear at any cost, to tolerating fear as a part of life that must be white-knuckled through, to the present day where getting real with fear is not only practiced but genuinely welcomed as a portal back to Reality.
