The Kidney Meridian - Root of Life
Reservoir of Energy
Seat of Courage and Willpower
The kidney meridian is a yin meridian (flows upwards), controls the growth and development of bones and nourishes the marrow, which is the body's source of red and white blood cells.
A weak kidney is therefore a prime cause of anemia and immune deficiency.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the spinal cord and the brain are forms of marrow, and therefore poor memory, inability to think clearly, and backache are all regarded as indicators of impaired kidney function and deficient kidney energy. Read also: Kidney Cleanse
The Kidney meridian's vitality is reflected externally by the condition of head and body hair and is associated with the entrance hole of the ears.
Tinnitus (ringing ears) is thus a sign of kidney dysfunction.
The kidneys are the seat of courage and willpower, and therefore any impairment in kidney meridian results in feelings of fear and paranoia.
Intense fear can cause involuntary urination, a phenomenon also known to Western medicine. Read also: 7 Emotions
The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste metabolites from the blood and moving them on-wards to the bladder for excretion in urine.
Along with the large intestine, the kidneys control the balance of fluids in the body.
In addition, they regulate the body's acid-alkaline balance (pH) by selectively filtering out or retaining various minerals. Read also: Detox Diets

Bhay is Sanskrit for Fear
Abhaya Varada Mudra - "Gesture for Fearlessness and Granting Wishes"
"No effort on the yoga path is every lost, nor can any obstacle ever hold one back forever. Just a little progress on this path can protect one from the greatest fear."
- Chapter 2, Verse 40 - Bhagavad Gita
Once out loud
Once whispering
Once to yourself mentally
SAVASANA
This poem in the Anita Diamant’s the Red Tent touched me
“Fear not, the time is coming
Fear not, your bones are strong
Fear not, help is nearby
Fear not, Gula (God) is near
Fear not, the earth is beneath you
Fear not, we have water and salt
Fear not, little mother or father
Fear not, mother of us all!”
2. Put things in perspective.
"Now that you are present, acknowledge the experience and ask yourself this question: “What is the worst case scenario that can happen to me?”
Once we can accept this and realize we will be okay if that happens, we are free from the fear.
When I realized I’d blown things out of proportion with my fears, I was able to detach from the story and put things into perspective.
I like to imagine that in every moment I have two wolves I can feed (per the Native American myth): the fear wolf or the love wolf. The one that gets stronger and wins is the one I feed."
"5. Prevent your mind from sabotaging you.
Visualize a stone being thrown into a pond. Observe the ripples it creates when it enters the water. This is to simply distract your mind and allow the process to unfold without doubt or self-sabotage. It is only our mind that can interfere with our own healing."

"6. Be grateful.
Express gratitude and appreciation for the integration and healing you have received.

The key to happiness is awareness. When we become aware that our mind is wandering, we can gently bring it back to the present moment. It’s only in the present moment that we are empowered and can consciously choose the thoughts we engage with.
The thoughts we focus on will determine where our energy flows, and thus what is created in our life. Each thought has a vibration, which is reflected by the feeling we experience in our body.
To be able to move from a fear-based experience to an open, peaceful experience we must first take full responsibility and accountability that on some level we created the experience, and nobody else is to blame.
The choice is truly ours. Do we choose to experience a fearful, limited life or do we choose a happy joyful life?"

"3. Become an observer of your thoughts.
What has served me well in moments like this is to say, “I’m not these thoughts. I’m not these emotions. I’m not this body. I’m an infinite being having a human experience.”
In saying this, we immediately detach from the story and allow ourselves the choice of suffering or to become the observer.
Imagine that your life is represented in a book, and the story you are living out comes from the words on the page. We can change the words of the story at any point in time."

"The fourth step is to place your awareness and your right hand on the heart center, which is located near the sternum. Close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and make the following command:
“I am now connected to the infinite part of who I am, which already knows how to be whole and complete. I take full responsibility and accountability for this creation, I recognize how it has served me, and I am now ready to let it go. I command that the fear energy be transmuted into unconditional love now. Thank you. It is now done.”
This process is incredibly empowering. We allow ourselves the opportunity to experience being our own inner master and a co-creator of our reality."
