Fear.

Fear is an illusion.

If you relax.
If you keep the mind clear.
If you stay present to this moment.

What is there to fear?

Fear is in the mind. It is the ego's defence against its own destruction. It will remind you that it's not safe to be you. It will remind you that you are not okay, that you lack something, and that you 'need' to be careful. It will take you back to the past and remind you how unfair it was. It will take you to the future and remind you how uncertain everything is.

But right here, right now - there is nothing to fear.

Relaxation is a skill. It is something that you 'should' try to be aware of as often as possible.

Take a breath now and again. Detach from the thoughts you are having. Take a good look at what you spend your time thinking about and be honest with yourself.

Be mindful of what you put into your body.
Be mindful of what you allow into your mind.
The company you keep will affect your energy levels.

The point of doing a regular Yoga practice, is that it keeps your prana levels up, and keeps you strong and protected. It is your energy levels that keep you protected against the external influences we are 'all' affected by -life, people, places, work, etc.

If you see a tired child, they are fractious and more sensitive, and so are we.

Relax more often.
Do some Asana.
Do some Pranayama.
