Day 13: Sitting with Fear, one breath at a time

The difficult and sometimes highly unbearable feeling called Fear remains my achilles heel. It incapacitates me and makes it very hard for me to focus, don't know about you! In today's episode I speak a bit about fear and what I have learned from my teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk from Vietnam who sought asylum in France after being exiled from Vietnam. His teachings about sitting with our fear (accessed through the Plum Village Youtube channel) correlate well with what the neuroscience has to say about the power of breath and focussing on the present moment as being an important antidote to the overwhelming experience of fear.
