"Fear is like a wound within our emotions.  You heal a fear much like you heal a cut on your hand.

If you ignore a cut on your hand, it will get infected.

But it will heal itself if you pay attention to it and give it time.

Same with fear.  First recognize it's existence- what kind of fear is it?  Is it fear of poverty, of loneliness, of rejection? 

Then use common sense. Don't let the fear get infected.

Often we burn 70 percent of our emotional energy on what we fear might happen (90 percent of which won't happen). By devoting our energy to our other emotions, we will heal naturally."

Za Rinpoche,
