Because look, the lens that we see life through, it is the most important lens. It's literally what dictates the quality of your life. And on this podcast, we learn about how to actualize our greatest potential through this lens of the Pentagon. I call it the Wellness Pentagon. It's the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial self that you and I signed up to master here on planet earth.

And you know you're in mastery of something when you keep getting lessons, right? Whatever lessons come to you, whether it's financial hardship, emotional hardship, physical hardship, disease, illness, all the kinds of things that allow you through pain, through joy, through love, through fear, through all the stages of the Hawkins frequency ladder, these are the ways that we learn about ourself.

I'm so glad you're here. Make sure you hit subscribe because this is to be an incredible AMA. It's going to be a short, sweet, and impactful episode with myself and my co-pilot on this consciousness. Her name is Mar, and she lives on an island out in the middle of the ocean, getting vitamin D on the regular…

[03:25] Address Your Fear of Death

Pain is inevitable and I wanna say that with reverence because we all go through loss, we all go through grief, It's just part of the baked-in human experience that our creator designed, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be here. So let's get right to the question because I want to give some practical if anybody else is experiencing this. Okay, Mar, let's get into our question.

Okay, our question today is:

“I’ve recently been having a terrible fear of dying. I’m not sure where it’s coming from, or why, because I haven’t always felt this way. Has anyone else felt this way?”

Bomb drop. This is from episode 535, Aaron Abke | The Law of One + How to Live in Love's Alignment. And I wanna start my share and my delivery of the wisdom believe will actually be practical for you with a quote from Rumi.

Rumi says, I learned that every mortal will taste death, but only some will taste life.

Man, I just love Rumi. When I say Rumi's quotes, it's like the hair on my arm stands up because it's so true, y'all. There are many men and women that just exist. They don't actually ever live. They are controlled by their fears. They allow their default mode network to search for danger on a constant. They allow their reticular activating system to gather evidence that they are in threat, constant.

And I have personal experience with this, right? Like I am still at 44 healing and re-regulating my nervous system to be in peace and in homeostasis and out of hypervigilance. It's something that I'm just aware of, right? That's a gift that I've been given. So the gift that we're all given at birth, I mean, just think about this, think about this.

Your mother carried you for 8 to 9 months. She carried you in her womb. Think of the sacrifice and the sacredness and the love that you were given before you exited her womb and came into the world and took your first breath. The beauty and the gift and the power in that is so profound, it's so profound. Just sit with that for a moment.

So Lauren, when you're experiencing this fear of dying, encapsulated in every question, every problem is the solution, right? So if you have a fear of dying, what is the opposite of dying? The opposite of dying is living, truly living. I learned that every mortal will taste death, but only some will taste life, Rumi says.

So if all of us will die, memento mori, all of us will die. Remember that you will die. But only some of us will taste life. Then what is the antidote to the poison of fear of death?

Because I really think it's a poison, right, because when you're in fear of dying, what happens is on an energetic level, you start blocking the ways in which you express yourself, which you feel safe, which you feel the opposite of depression is expression, which you feel expressed.

So if we consciously know, and this is why healing is mainly unconscious, I feel like most healing is like 90 plus percent unconscious somatic, it lives in the body. Then what is it in your life that has happened that was neutral, that you tied a meaning to, that you made a meaning of this event, Lauren, this event making you feel like you were going to die.

Just go back in your nervous system. And this isn't a therapy session, I'm not a psychologist, but I've done and played around in this world of somatics and healing enough to know that my own healing pathway is your pathway in some way.

So put your hand on your heart, put your hand on your stomach, take 10 deep breaths. And at the end of those deep breaths, just ask yourself this one powerful question. If I'm experiencing this fear of death, if I'm experiencing this fear in my body, where does it live, number one? Where is it?

Is it in your throat?

Is it in your heart?

Is it in your stomach?

Is it in your sexual organs?

Is it in your perineum?

Which of the chakras does it exist in? Because that's the starting place, right?
