“The opposite of fear is love”, according to the Course In Miracles, and if we can keep our energy and minds focused on the love, whilst at the same time, acknowledging the fear as energy in motion, and letting it run through us to transmute into positive energy, we will rise from this experience transformed, like the phoenix rising from …
