Free Yourself from the Fear-Based Reality:

Unlearn Old Reptile-Brain Perceptual Habits!

Your reptile brain processes information at the earliest stage, when instinct is legitimately required for survival, and many of the tactics we developed to deal with fear have their roots in the reptile brain’s preverbal, knee-jerk reactions. The reptile brain has two modes: expansion/safety and contraction/danger. This leads to two reactions when fear and danger are involved: fight or flight. Reptile-brain reactions may feel normal to the personality, but they aren’t natural to the soul. Fortunately, you can learn to move beyond the various reptile-brain behaviors by seeing them for what they are—just habits. Catch yourself in any of the following and try doing the opposite; see how it feels

The Adrenaline Habit

When the reptile brain decides a situation warrants fighting or fleeing, the amygdala triggers the release of adrenaline, so we can shift into emergency mode and take immediate action. Adrenaline is a powerful hormone and neurotransmitter that increases the heart rate and dilates air passages—and it can become addictive. “Adrenaline junkies” have a constant need for urgency. The adrenaline habit can manifest as the seduction of fear—we can be attracted by the very thing we’re trying to protect ourselves from. This habit lives for drama and anxiety. The adrenaline habit also causes anger and rage responses to fear. Becoming aggressive and projecting unwanted feelings onto others in the form of bullying, blame, criticism, belittling, guilt, or punishment is a great way to deflect internal terror. Try: CALMNESS, PAUSE TO CONSIDER, DO "BORING" THINGS WITH CONSCIOUSNESS

The Security Habit

A more subtle response is the urge to fortify and create impenetrability and security. In the “Three Little Pigs” fairy tale, the big bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew down the houses made of straw and sticks—but not the third little pig’s house of bricks. We all would like that proverbial house of bricks, and the most common way to find it is by accumulating power through financial and materialistic means. The same is true for accumulating information and being an expert, or achieving cultural standards of beauty so others will be in awe. Our fixation on celebrities today is part of this reptile-brain drive for security through attractiveness. We might also find security by controlling others or by becoming indispensable. Being a people-pleaser, rescuer, or problem-solver fits into this pattern. So does acting superior, powerful, and aloof. Try: FEEL FLUID, ENJOY SURPRISE, ALLOW SIMPLICITY

The Helplessness Habit

When life presents us with a string of wounding and demeaning experiences, it’s natural to freeze under the onslaught like a rabbit in the hawk’s shadow. Freezing can result in feelings of helplessness, paralysis, lack of motivation, or blankness. It’s normal to feel hollow, or develop depression or an apathetic attitude. When we stop the flow of energy, our frequency drops. And when that happens we can become physically sluggish, drained, or sick. There is a tricky version of this helplessness habit where we sneak in a little bit of controlling behavior. This is passive aggression. In this habit, we unconsciously decide to be right by being wrong, or to be in control by being out of control. We can be depressed or paralyzed, but it’s someone else’s fault. We can blame others by “guilt-tripping” them, yet if they try to help, we can say they’re doing it wrong. We can praise people with sarcasm and insult them in the process. We can act out in aggressive ways and still pretend we’re helpless or don’t care. Try: TRUST YOUR MOTIVATIONS AND ACTIONS, ENJOY YOUR OWN CREATIVITY NO MATTER THE FORM, SPEAK POSITIVELY

The Avoidance Habit

One of the most direct solutions is to simply avoid situations that threaten us. After all, “ignorance is bliss,” right? We can walk out of an uncomfortable situation, retreat into the past to reminisce, or “leave our body” and dissociate from the present moment altogether, spacing out into a mindless state. We can be forgetful, escape into fantasy worlds, or feign ignorance. We can abdicate responsibility and give authority to other people. Addictive behaviors are another way to avoid uncomfortable situations. Alcohol, drugs, work, exercise, money, sex, food, sports, shopping, socializing, television, mystery novels, collections, cats, Star Trek conventions, and just about anything else can serve as our substance of choice for an addiction—and avoidance. Try: ENGAGE WITH EVERY EXPERIENCE, LET YOURSELF BE SILENT AND SEE WHAT YOU DISCOVER

The Submission Habit

When confronted with an overpowering, threatening, or narcissistic person, we can stand our ground but be submissive and subservient. Show our vulnerable soft parts and smile innocently. Assume a cowering posture and nonthreatening tone of voice. Avoid eye contact. Basically, we keep our vibration a bit lower than theirs, making them feel good about themselves. With this habit we become a master at charming, serving, helping, and finding ways to be needed and accepted. And what’s wrong with these behaviors, we ask? Nothing—if they come from joy, love, and the natural flow of the soul. But when we confuse acceptance with love, and pleasing with survival, we end up sacrificing ourselves. Try: FEEL FULL OF YOUR TRUE SELF, TAKE UP SPACE, ENJOY YOUR OWN IDEAS, SHARE.
