Fear of Dying during Driving, Sports or other Activity - 18 Jun 09

Food for a day

A few days ago I told you that a woman was here for a healing session who had a lot of fear inside herself but did not know why. I told her the healing would help her to find out why she is afraid of so many activities that she was doing before. And today she came again because she found out why she was afraid.

She told that her husband died four years ago. He had a heart attack while he was driving on motorbike. It was very sudden and a big shock for her. And now somewhere inside her she is afraid that this can happen to her, too, while she is on motorbike or while swimming or doing something similar. She is afraid of dying. I have written before about death, too, and I said the same thing to her: nobody knows when he will die. We all have to die, there is no way to avoid it. And as nobody knows when, where or in which way, we should not be afraid of dying.

See dying as an event. And it will come, but until then, please enjoy! We have to accept death. It is the biggest truth of life. Only this is the way how you can overcome this fear of death. It is a short life, we all should enjoy and really live and love life!

I have heard some people who do extreme sports say that it is worth the risk to them. If they died doing what they loved, then it was a life well lived. People should embrace every moment in life and do what they love. At least if you die doing it, you won't regret having never tried something fun or exciting that you always wanted to.

Maybe trying is a misguiding term. If you look around the room in a fit of fear, you will notice that perhaps nothing is wrong. Ask yourself, is there anything wrong? Perhaps with death their will be some pain. That is okay. There is nothing wrong with pain. Allow yourself to exist in this state of understanding by ceasing to try and simply paying attention.

It seems to be very difficult to accept death. I try and I don't know how.

Words of Wisdom

  • Body

    Give yourself a treat by moving your body, stretching, breathing! Enjoy your body and feel good in it! Whatever you do, enjoy it! Have fun!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Making an effort to make your loved one happy makes you happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.

    Source
  • Religion

    Devotees who sleep with their gurus actually got bored from just having normal sex and now enjoy making a new fantasy reality: having sex with a religious wrapper. Devotion to God and the joy of sex – double pleasure!

    Source
  • Honesty

    People often say and do things that they don’t believe in. How long can you play such a drama? You have to live in your original consciousness.

    Source
  • Soul

    Soul, energy, love, essence, prana and god are synonyms for me.

    Source
  • Make-up

    Some women feel ugly without make-up. Your outer appearance can strengthen your confidence for a few moments but you know exactly who you are inside. Learn to face your originality. Accept yourself. See that you are beautiful just as you are. Real beauty comes from inside.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!

    Source
  • Prayers

    You don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.

    Source
  • Feelings

    People are not very sensitive towards their own feelings and the feelings of others anymore. It is the biggest loss of today’s time: the loss of sensitivity.

    Source
  • Followers

    The words ‘followers’, ‘disciples’ or ‘devotees’ give much room for abuse of the relationship to a guru.

    Source
  • Trust

    Unconditional trust and unconditional respect are the fertile earth on which love grows and gets strong. Doubts destroy this base. If there are doubts, there is no trust and love cannot grow.

    Source
  • Happiness

    For many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Scriptures - squeeze them and you will see blood dripping out of them!

    Source
  • Soul

    Illusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.

    Source
  • Relationship

    The main factors for a good relationship are that you are physically close and devoted without any ego. If this devotion is not there, they will be far from each other even if they are physically close, sleeping and living in the same room. Then they cannot understand each other and in these cases relationships sometimes break even after a very long time.

    Source
  • Vegetarian

    You are what you eat. If you eat meat, you take the animal's energy into your body and thus people become more and more like animals.

    Source
  • Love

    Love should always be unconditional. If there is any condition, it is not really love. If someone leaves because of a condition you don't fulfil, you do not have to feel guilty or have an inferiority complex. Those who really love you, love you how you are, not because of something or a certain quality.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Anger, ego and other emotions sometimes create aggression but think how far you want to let these emotions take you. Who knows, maybe time changes and a bitter relation changes again for the better. Bitter and better is only one letter apart from each other.

    Source
  • Love

    You can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
