Lucid Dreaming: Developing Conscious Dream Control and Exploration. HOW DO I ACTIVATE MY ROOT CHAKRA - Courage - 1st Chakra. How to Free Yourself from the Cycle of Social Fear. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore” ~André Gide A few months ago, I received a gift from my brother while on a vacation in the United States.
He was giving each one of us a small token of stone with words carved on them. Mine was etched “courage.” The stone reminded me of my struggles on self-esteem—in the past and the present. I pull strength from my courage to face the challenges of each day. Getting to where I am now was not an easy task. The Cycle of Social Fear The earliest memories of my childhood had to do with being in one corner of the classroom watching all the other kids playing while I stood watching.

~Unknown Prior to my twenty-second birthday I was spiraling down a self-destructive path, partying at all hours of the morning and drinking excessively to numb my pain. I was a rebel with a cause, as the lure of the nightlife kept me away from my dysfunctional home. I was searching for love and happiness in all of the wrong places, but the universe stopped me dead in my tracks, both literally and figuratively, when my brother committed suicide. Devastated by the loss of his presence in my life and the close bond we once shared, I felt utterly alone.
I needed answers and some sort of explanation as to how a happy-go-lucky young man had changed into a moody and depressive person. In my grief-stricken state, I went to the public library and retrieved books on suicide and mental illness. Coincidently, I had a medical appointment with a general practitioner. My pain was so unbearable I even contemplated my own death. Photo by tiseb. You Will Not Be The Same Person When You Achieve Your Goal. “The journey is the reward.”
