Gripping fear

heart-pounding

immobilized.

An old pattern keeps reappearing.

I’m choosing a different path.

Breathe into the fear.

Call forth my true essence,

the part connected to source

beyond fear.

I don’t know if the fear ever completely disappears.

Always deeper layers

passed down through my lineage

encoded in my DNA.

This is what mastery is about.

This awakening into my essence.

Beyond the self-doubt, self-hatred,

beyond fear and panic,

beyond the physical pain and my body,

something greater exists.
