Fear Makes The World Go Round by Janet Lynas Ph.D., N.H.D.

We like to think that love makes the world go round. After all there are numerous songs about love, how love makes the heart sing, how devastating lost love is. Love is the emotion that moves us forward, that inspires us. Or is it?

Fear as the motivator

I submit to you that fear is the most important emotion in your life. It’s the one emotion that all your decisions are made from.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about! I don’t live from fear!”, I hear you say.

Hear me out with an open mind as I present my case to you. Humans live in the past. Yes, you do. The decisions you make today are based on what has happened to you in the past. The past is what is comfortable to you. It’s from this knowledge base where the sense of comfort comes.

Humans think that we have to make a difference in the world. We have to be doing something all the time. If one is not doing something, then you’re being lazy. I have to make my mark on the world!

Humankind fears failure. Fear is the strongest emotion we encounter. It’s more powerful than love. What are you afraid of? Some say, “I’m not afraid of anything!” Others may say, “I’m afraid of snakes, rats, spiders, death.”  The list of anxieties are long.

Definition of fear
an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.          
Psychology of fear

The first thing one has to know is that fear is learned. Often as children, we take on the fears of our parents and family. Later we are influenced by the discomfort of our peers. These uneasy feelings are taught to us from birth. Fear of failure being the foremost emotion in our life. Similarly, being fearful can prevent one from taking chances and achieving success.

Some of the basic forms of distress include:

  1. Death. The fear of no longer existing and not knowing what lies beyond this human experience.
  2. Loss of control. We are afraid of bodily harm and that we will have to depend on others to take care of us. Being in a situation where control is taken away from us is terrifying. Commanding control is ingrained in us.
  3. Separation. The lie that is taught from birth is that one is separated from others and the Creator. I feel this is the biggest lie that humans buy into. Separation makes me feel lonely and anxious.
  4. Loss of self. Fear of one’s integrity and being doubted by others. Shame, humiliation and lost of self-respect. If I don’t know who I am, how can I function in life?
  5. Forfeiture of what had been accomplished. People are often afraid of losing what they have achieved in life, status, monetary gains, material status, and power.

How to change your life and move away from fear

However, is it possible to move out of living in fear? What steps do I take to move out of fearful living?

  1. Learn the difference between fear and being prudent.
  2. Reframe your thinking into being excited about the unknown.
  3. Rewire the brain. Take action to view life from a new perspective. Develop self-confidence and move forward with courage.
  4. Chose taking action over security. Security is a form of fear that prevents us from trying new experiences. Security keeps us in the past.
Take control of fear

How do I take control of the fear that keeps me in the past?

  1. Be in the moment. By being active in the moment, there is no time to let your imagination run wild on what might take place.
  2. Look at the fear realistically. What is the worse thing that can happen? Is it likely to happen? Most of the time we worry about things that never take place.
  3. Learn from past experiences. Having a plan on how to deal with a past situation will help you move forward.

 

Above all, remember you do not have to live in the past. Now is the time to move forward in your life with courage! In other words, rewire the brain and think outside of the box!

In conclusion, you are not your past! For example, the experiences of the past are learning tools to motivate one to move in a different direction and try a new way of doing things. After that, trust in yourself to make the best decisions based on the information you have on hand at the time. Therefore, we moved into the now moment and being in the now, the brain is rewired for new experiences.

The chains that held us in the past are broken. Now, you are living in the present which is a better place to be in!

Care of the Soul by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

We care for our physical health, most of us pay attention to our mental health, and all of us care for our emotional wellbeing. Care also includes one’s children, family, so many other things in life such as our home and property.

But, do you care for your soul? How does one care for their soul?

What is the soul?

The soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, that is regarded as immortal.

Also, the soul is the subject of human consciousness and freedom. Soul and body together form one unique human creation. According to the Bible, each human soul is individual and immortal, and created by God. The soul does not die with the body, but is separated at death.

There is a difference between the soul and the spirit. The soul is immortal, but the spirit is not. Your soul is who you really are, beyond the physical encasement of the body. The spirit is a mediator between body and soul. Everyone’s soul has to do with the emotional aspect and with the individual life itself.  While the spirit is the essence or force that allows the body to function.

Our soul is made of an extremely high vibrational energy coming from the spiritual universe. The soul is invisible, it cannot be seen, weighed or measured in any physical sense. The soul is thought to be associated with the heart charka.

Caring for the Soul

Caring for the soul is more intimate, deep and genuine  than care for day to day activities. When your soul is moved, you feel both love and anger. You will have strong desires and at times even stronger fears.

Throughout a lifetime, one may discovery that the needs of the soul can change and that life becomes difficult. What once nourished your soul, now has become a burden that you now feel the need to escape. To nurture your life is to reach out beyond the limits you have imposed on yourself.

In caring for the soul, we have to learn who we are by facing our shadow side and embracing all aspects of who we truly are. You learn to work with what is, rather than what you wish things to be.

To care for the soul means to open-up to our humanness and to show compassion to ourselves. We have to step out of the humdrum task of daily activities and begin to explore the psyche. Exploration of the psyche is both exciting and scary. Moving beyond the mindlessness of everyday life and into the realm of the soul is indeed the first step into fully living life.

Be brave, learn all you can about who you are, for this is part of the lessons we are to learn in this lifetime.  Reach-out, take hold of your humanness, grow past the boundaries you have built around yourself. Set your soul free! In doing so, you have taken the first step towards caring for the soul.

 

 

Confessions of a Valentine’s Day Coward by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D

The birth of Valentine’s Day just might surprise you. Furthermore, the origins of Valentine’s Day is rather murky.

However, the origin of Valentine’s Day is found in the ancient pagan culture of Rome and Greece. Having said this, February is always considered the month of romance and fertility. St. Valentine’s Day originates from two obscene Roman festivals of fertility called Lupercalia and Feast of Juno Februata both celebrated in mid-February.

How did Valentine’s Day start?

Valentine’s Day started in 500 A.D. Saint Gelasius, the third pope, of the Catholic Church started Valentine’s Day tradition. He named the day after Saint Valentine or Saint Valentinus. Valentine is derived from a Latin word ‘valens’ meaning worthy, strong or powerful.

A popular account of Saint Valentine of Rome tells us he was imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against the command of Emperor Claudius the second.

Valentine’s Day and Self-Worth

Sad, isn’t it, that our self-worth is tied up in Valentine’s Day. Young girls and young men determine their self-worth on whether or not they receive a Valentine’s Day card or not. Young men are apprehensive to offer love to the young girl they hope will be receptive to the affections they hope to bestow on her.

Furthermore, there is the stress of picking out the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Giving the gift of love certainly is not easy. Because this day of love is so important, there is a lot of drama. She did not get the ring she was hoping for. He is turned down with the marriage proposal. Therefore, to me, Valentine’s Day is the most dreaded and scary day of the year. Fear of being hurt in love runs high.

As we mature, it still doesn’t get any easier for those who are single when this day rolls around. Plans are made for intimate dinners. Flowers are ordered. Gifts bought. Hearts are offered up. Many singles just hide out in their homes on this day, thus, avoiding the question, “What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?”

It’s not easy for those who are in relationships, but who are not in love with their partner. They love their partner, but they have settled into a relationship more like roommates than lovers. You’ve settled into a rut and are just going through the motions and you’re wondering how you got here.

Love the biggest fear of all

Do you know the difference between ‘loving’ someone and being ‘in love‘ with someone? There’s a difference? Yes, indeed there is! What happens if I ‘love’? What happens if I fall ‘in love’?

If I love, I give myself totally to love and then I’m lost forever. To let go and be totally in love scares me. I have loved and I do love, but I have never been in love. There’s a big difference between love and being in love. Why does it scare me…. to be in love?

When we love, we’re still in control of our emotions. But, to be in love, that is a different story. To be in love is to let go of self.

Falling in love

If you’ve ever had surgery, remember how you’re struggling to stay in control of yourself? Then the anesthesia sweeps through your veins and all control is lost. You have no idea what letting go of control has in store for you. It’s scary! Actually, it’s terrifying!

Think back to the Latin word ‘valens’. It means worthy, strong or powerful. I’m not sure I’m that strong or powerful enough to let go and be in love. Does this mean I’m afraid I may not be worthy?

How do you overcome the fear?

Honestly, I don’t know how to overcome the fear of being in love. Be brave and take a leap of faith! Easier said than done!

I guess to take that leap of faith is like jumping into the water for the first swim of the season. Days are warm, but the water hasn’t had time to warm up yet. You know the water will be cold when you jump in, however, you can’t contain your excitement and you jump. The cold water is a shock to your body! It takes your breath away!

The surprise of the cold water brought you out of your slumber. You’re fully awake to the pleasures and joy that the water brings as it engulfs you.

I think this might be what it’s like to be in love. There’s a disturbance when someone comes into your life, blindsides you… What just happened? Cold water was thrown in your face and your breath was taken away. Your heart is racing and you just don’t know what has happened. You’ve lost all control over your feelings!

In my upcoming book, Dimensional Shift, I talk about it’s easier to float downstream than it is to try to paddle upstream. I guess this is want it’s like to surrender to being in love.

So, to those brave souls who have surrendered to being in love, I tip my hat to you. You are truly strong, powerful and worthy. To let go of control is indeed brave. I have heard that being in love is a powerful experience.

 

 

Creation Story Part 2 by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

In part one we talked about Adam and Eve’s creation, choices they had, and fall from grace. Today in part 2 we are looking at a different perspective all together. I think outside of the box. As a result, I’m not restricted in my thinking. I do my own thinking. Do you?

My mother used to tell me, “God gave you a brain, use it!” However, using my brain often gets me into trouble. I am one of ‘those’ people who think outside of the box. Thinking outside of the box is often viewed as being a ‘little off’. That’s ok. I’m don’t worry about what other people think of me. Are you ready to begin this journey on thinking outside of the box?

In the beginning

Spirit looked over the newly formed creation of planet Earth. Many creatures roamed over the earth and flew in the skies above. Yet there seemed to be something missing…

“Let us make a man in our own image.” Interesting choice of words, don’t you think? Creator Source made man.

“It’s not good for man to be alone.” Source put man to sleep. A rib is removed to create woman. (First anesthesia and surgery preformed.) Man and woman are intelligent beings. They have free will.

Fall from intimacy

Man and woman have an intimate relationship with I AM THAT I AM. Conversations are intimately deep and meaningful. Humankind and God are one in the same. As you recall, mankind is created in the likeness of Creator God. Man and woman having deep knowledge of ALL THAT THERE IS, knows what it’s like to be Spirit Most High. After all, God is connected spiritually with Adam and Eve.

Suppose just for a moment that Adam and Eve chose to experience what it would be like to grow and expand on their own. This is where eating from the Tree of Knowledge comes in.

Rather than living in paradise, the couple decided to experience life from a new reality. Hence, the experiment of life without the knowledge of Yahweh begins. Adam and Eve are expelled from the garden.

The veil is raised.

Finding the way back home

Adam and Eve find themselves in a new reality. Forgotten is the knowledge of being intimate with God. There is a veil blocking their memory of being in spiritual connection with Source. Faced with separation from Father God makes life difficult. In contrast, there now is no intimacy with God. Something is missing, but what? Furthermore, one now has to learn how to care for themself.

Adam and Eve are now looking outside of themselves for Spirit. God is up in heaven or on some other plain of existence. Because they are looking outside of themselves for God, there is a sense of something missing, but what?

Religion teaches us that Father lives in heaven. Heaven is a far off place. Mankind is separated from Yahweh. How do we find our way back home? Where and what is home?

Remembering

Rather than looking on the outside for God, turn your attention to what’s inside of you. What do you mean? Pay attention to the soft voice that talks to you during quiet moments. Also, listen to your ‘gut’ feeling. Trust your intuition.

Think back to all those times when you said to yourself, “I should have trusted my gut!” So, where do you think your gut feeling comes from? Who is that small quiet voice speaking to you?

Meditating is the fastest way to get in touch with your feelings and to learn to listen to the voice inside of you. As a result of meditation, you soon learn to trust the word deep within you. Likewise, as you learn to trust the intuition instructing you, you will begin communicating with God who is in you.

Look inside to see Source

While one meditates, you become in-tune with the seed of Spirit that is with you at all times. Listen with your heart, not with the mind. God once said, “Be still and know that I am God.”

You’re never alone. Being away from Spirit is the first lie. The veil is in place making it difficult for us to remember the connection with Source.

Just for a moment, close your eyes, focus on your breathe. Breath in deeply. Release the breathe slowly. Feel you body relaxing. Also, the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to listen to the inner knowing within you.

As a result, the voice within will speak gently to you. Listen with your heart and trust that what is being spoken is the truth. How do I know if this voice is God’s? First of all, Source speaks from love. Hence, your connection with Love gives you a sense of peace.

As you sit quietly, you will soon see a tiny light activate in the center of your core. So, as this light glows brighter, the warmth of love will fill you entirely. The veil is coming down. You remember once again what it’s like to be one with Spirit.

See the truth

The truth is, God is not in heaven. Nor is He somewhere out in the universe. God is and has always been within you. Also, feel the love that comes from this source within. As a result, this love spreads and grows filling us from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head.

This love inside is God. Stand centered in the God space. Align yourself with this energy. By aligning yourself with God within, you have once again reignited the spark of recognition between you and God.

Know that standing in this energy of love, has ripped down the veil of deception. You now remember, “I’m one with Creator!” Therefore, you know the truth! Finally the truth has set you free!

How to Please a Woman by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

Men ask, “What techniques do I use to please a woman?  How do I please a woman?

I’m going to loosely tell you a story.  The foundation of the story is based on an ancient Tale of the Tantrik Priestess.

A young man came to see the Tantrik Priestess, asking her, “What do I need to do to make a woman happy? What techniques do I need to know?”

The Priestess looking at the young man said, “There is no technique greater than understanding the lover’s attitude.”

The young man was disappointed thinking that he would be given steps on techniques to please a woman.  He did not understand what the Priestess meant by understanding the lover’s attitude.

The Priestess looked into the young man’s eyes and smiled.

Lightly touching the young man’s hand she said, “With these hands, I reach out to touch the places deep within you that have been hurt and shriveled up like a leaf closing to the harsh winds.”

Touching his cheek and looking deep into his eyes, she told him, “I use my hands to sooth the parts of you that were once shamed or wronged. I use these hands to hold you in all of the places in which you have been dropped, so you may begin to build trust again.  As I look at you, I see both aspects of your being.”

She continued to tell the young man, “I see your soul, in all it’s vastness.  I see your life-force in its fullness.  I see them without judgement.  I offer these hands to soften your armor and caress the scars.”

She then continued, “My hands are here to heal through pleasure. It’s not me doing the pleasure TO you. The pleasure is yours and I simply witness it.  If you can receive, then healing begins…”

“Never mind the technique,” she continued, “For now just develop the attitude of the lover.  The attitude itself will teach you the techniques.”

When a woman knows that a man has taken the time to truly see her, then she is able to see the man.

When a woman is touched by the man and he feels her energy surrounding her, then she will be able to touch the man and feel his energy surrounding him.

When a woman knows she has been heard as she speaks her truth and tells him her heart’s desires, then she will be able to hear the man as he speaks his truth and reveals his deepest desires.

When a woman is allowed to begin to heal, then she will be open to helping the man heal as well.

To reach your lover, begin to learn the secrets of the lover’s attitude.  Once you do, she will want to learn the secrets of your attitude.  Love starts in the understanding of the heart.
