Five daily practices to minimize fear :
1 . Drink water 2 . Sleep more 3 . Rub your ears for a few minutes each day 4 . Include adaptogenic and diuretic herbs in your diet and 5 . Get reacquainted with the part you have been suppressing for so long .
How do these practices minimize fear ? Points 1 through 4 are all associated with the kidneys and bladder the organs responsible for excreting waste , regulating water balance , and maintaining the acid / base balance in the blood . Indigenous societies know that “ everything that appears in the physical realm has its association with energy flow at the invisible level ”. Our kidneys and bladder are the organs associated with fear . Have you ever noticed how one at times pee or feel the urge to pee when frightened ? If you are around a child who still wets the bed long after it is considered “ normal ” to do so , take the time to talk to him / her and you will discover that fear of something or someone is present . If that was your experience as a child , return in your mind and see where fear was present . Our ears are the sensory organs along the same meridian as the kidneys and the water element or the winter season is associated with them . Winter is the time of darkness , going within , and introspection . Our “ daily winter ” is sleep-time . This shows the practicality of steps 1 , 2 , and 3 . Herbs are powerful allies , however , it is the course of wisdom to check with your healthcare provider before beginning your relationship with herbal remedies
Adaptogens are herbs that :
• improve focus , mood , immune functions ,
• restores vitality ,
• helps manage stress ,
• and re-establish balance in the body . Two examples are holy basil / tulsi and ashwagandha . Diuretics increase the production of urine .
