Change Demon #1 : FEAR

Ariane de Bonvoisin says that " fear is an emotion that exists only in  regards to the future".
In week #3 we looked at a list of some different types of fear. It seems to me that most of us at one time or another have experienced either all or most of these.  Change often  seems to throw us off balance.  I suspect none of us likes that feeling.  However, if we know that feeling, that emotion, will happen many times in our lives and that we have faced it and moved through it in the past, then we also know that fear is a part of being human, and we can learn not to be threatened by it.
In yoga we build tools to deal with fear and uncertainty.   We learn how to calm our emotions and still the busy mind. We return to that place within us that never changes, the place that is always there.  I like to call it our "Higher Self".   You may want to give in a different name.
