Acknowledging Fear, A Meditation with Se...

Sean Fargo
About this episode

We all have fears. Some live on the surface, impacting our everyday lives, while others are more subtle. We may experience fear of failure, unworthiness, fear of the unknown, or fear of being alone. It’s also common to fear abandonment, engulfment, or the ultimate fear: non-existence, the fear of death and dying. 

Although it may not be possible to become completely fearless, we can find more spaciousness and peace by being with and exploring our fears. In this guided meditation, Sean Fargo invites us to open to our fears. As we sit with whatever fear that arises, exploring with a caring curiosity, we might find that our fears are not what we thought they were. They may even seem less scary.

Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.
