When things get messy, I often ask myself this simple question. There’s an energy to fear and love that is distinctly different in the body. Stripped to the most elemental level, fear is a constriction and love is an expansion. Some people are more readily in tune with these bodily sensations than others. For me, learning to recognize them takes a lot of slowing down and getting past my mind's entrenched stories of love and fear. Discovering the answer isn’t as simple as asking the question, but asking it always offers a bigger perspective from which to move forward.
