Have you ever wondered, why do we feel what we feel? Where do our feelings come from? Or why don’t we allow ourselves to feel what we feel?
Maybe you have or maybe not but what’s incredible to me is that as a human society we have spent lifetimes learning about how to make the most money and even spent that same money building walls and getting ready for wars because of all our differences. But only if we had spent a fraction of this energy on getting to know our own selves, our minds and how it operates, we would know that we are more similar than different. We would know that we share more in common than what meets the eye.
Why do Some of us who are still healthy feel afraid of catching the virus and getting sick?
Why do Some of us who are not yet sick feel afraid of dying when we hear about the rising deaths due to COVID?
Why do Some of us feel resentful of others who don’t seem to take this virus seriously?
Why do Some of us feel like other people have gone too far with this whole virus thing?
Why do Some of us feel left out and helpless?
Why do Some of us feel lonely and sad?
Why do Some of us feel life is not fair?
Although our feelings may change by the hour these days, however, if you look closely at all these feelings, you will notice that they seem to have their roots in fear!
Loving Our Fears podcast is Shikha Rastogi’s way of saying Thank You to this powerful Universe which has been guiding Shikha through the darkness of her own numerous fears into the light of peace.
Through this podcast Shikha would like to share everything she has learned from her own experiences of breaking free from a constant state of anxiety not by fighting with her fears but by accepting and loving them. In sharing her experiences, she wants to give people hope that breaking free from fear is possible. She also wants to show people how it’s possible to still feel peaceful amidst our fears by helping them view their fears from another perspective – a perspective of love rather than fear itself. This podcast is also a gift to her daughter to show her that you don’t need to be someone big to share your gifts to this world!
Have you ever wondered, why is it that human beings wait for a tragedy to strike before they come together to listen, help and hug each other? That’s because unlike daily life where we live our lives through our minds; a tragedy cracks open our hearts and forces us to feel all those feelings that we would have never ever allowed ourselves to feel before! And because all human beings’ hearts’ regardless of where they come from and how they were raised, beat to the rhythm of love, our tragedies lead us out of our minds into the goodness of our hearts where we all become one! But the bigger question is, why do we have to wait for a tragedy to strike to feel another human’s sadness, to feel called to help them, to feel like giving them a hug, to feel like they just need someone to listen to? Why can’t we move into our heart space and live from there each day, every day? I invite you to close your eyes for one moment and imagine what your life and especially your relationships would look like if you are able to live from the beauty and goodness of your heart instead of all the fear in your head 💜❤
