Question:

I was wondering - what do you do when you feel insecure? I’ve been feeling insecure lately, and I spent all of yesterday meditating and even did a hypnosis! It was so great, every time I meditated, I had less and less fears to let go of.

My Comments:

You just answered your own question; meditation is the best way to let go of insecurities. When you meditate you give your mind a chance to quiet down and sort out the “extra blockage” that is surrounding you.

Another thing about “insecurities” is having the ability to be able to voice the insecurity, (a.k.a .as worry and self doubt) with your partner. I have this quote that I love from Eckhart Tolle:

Are you worried? Do you have many “what if” thoughts? You are identified with your mind, which is projecting itself into an imaginary future situation and creating fear.

There is no way that you can cope with such a situation because it doesn’t exist. It’s a mental phantom. You can stop this health-and-life corroding insanity simply by acknowledging the present moment.

Become aware of your breathing. Feel the air flowing in and out of your body. Feel your inner energy field. All that you ever have to deal with cope with, in real life - as opposed to imaginary mind projections- is this moment.

Ask yourself, what “problem” you have right now, not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from now. What is wrong with this moment?

You can always cope with the Now, but you can never cope with the future - nor do you have to. The strength, the right action, or the right resource will be there when you need it, not before, not after.

Power Of Now
By: Eckhart Tolle

I used to have a big problem with speaking my truth, voicing my insecurities, my worries, and my self-doubts. I did not want to ’seem’ like some scared little girl, which just made it worse because I was holding all these things inside and really was scared.

I still do hold things in, but I’ve come a long way since I met Stephane, he could see through my non-verbal actions right down to what I was really feeling inside. I cannot hide anything from him. It is truly liberating, an enormous freedom which at first seems difficult. Because telling people what is on your mind, what is truly on you mind can be one of the hardest things do. People lie constantly, to themselves, to others, and I was definitely no exception, so when it came down to crunch time and being honest with my self, I found it pretty hard.

I just thank Stephane for being there with me on the days when I’m not feeling my self and listening to me. Then he usually tells me to go and do a meditation :o) lol, I usually go and do the orange chakra meditation, and/or yellow chakra meditation and read the Eckhart Tolle quote about worry. I take some time to breathe and allow any stress to leave my body.

Going to do a chakra meditation :o)
