How to overcome fear?Fear is an emotion; it is consequently not amenable to reason. You may therefore fear your friends as well as your enemies, fear the present and past as well as the future; if fear attacks you, it must be destroyed.
You will be interested in knowing how to accomplish this. Reason will not help you at all, because fear is a subconscious thought, a product of the emotions. There must then be some other way.
The way is to awaken the Solar Plexus, get it into action. If you have practiced deep breathing, you can expand the abdomen to the limit. That is the first thing to do; hold this breath for a second or two, then still holding it, draw in more air and carry it to the upper chest, drawing in the abdomen.
This effort flushes the face red. Hold this breath also for a second or two and then still holding this breath, deflate the chest and expand the abdomen again. Do not exhale this breath at all, but, still holding it, alternately expand the abdomen and chest rapidly some four or five times. Then exhale. The fear is gone.
If the fear does not leave you at once, repeat the process until it does. It will not be long before you are feeling entirely normal. Why? Because, in the first place, this breathing effort concentrated at the pit of the stomach affects the great ganglion of the sympathetic nervous system lying exactly opposite, called the Solar Plexus, which largely governs circulation.
The stimulation of the Solar Plexus releases the nerve currents and the renewed circulation re-establishes the muscular control.
