Phobias and the Spiritual Perspective- Conquering fears is a slow and steady process.

Phobias stem from emotionally charged memories as they create bookmarks in the psyche. Delving into the fabric of fears reveals its multi-faceted nature,as it serves as an intimate mentor on the path of elevated consciousness. Transcending fear allows the soul to integrate with the mind as it is the natural response designed to protect us from any harm.

The intersection where fear meets spirituality expands consciousness to experience life in a more meaningful way. Our internal fear-based belief systems stemming from early childhood link our actions to feared consequences. I would like to prepare a table to bifurcate common types of phobias and the spiritual aspects attached to them. I would be considering 3 variables,as they deeply resonate with me and explain them.

Aspect of Fear	Impact on Spirituality	Ways of Navigating
Self-Doubt	Stalls life progress but encourages self-exploration.	Mindfulness and Reflective meditation.
Anxiety	Signals unresolved conflicts,traumas,wounds and prompts spiritual healing.	Therapeutic practices and spiritual counselling.
Lack of Trust	Impedes openess to new experiences.	Building faith through guidance and experiences.

It is a researched fact that (and I have also discussed this in my earlier article) chakra blockages cause anxiety in the nervous system. This brings me to discuss the next segment of my article;certain common anxiety issues that crop up when the chakras are imbalanced.

i) Root Chakra- When this chakra is imbalanced, there is a fear of death and fear of being weak acts up as a phobia. Hence, psychological issues such as overthinking, anger, constant worry shuts down the root chakra blocking any movement of energy upwards.

ii) Sacral Chakra- When the sacral chakra is blocked, it shuts down our sensitivity and crops up the fear of been seen as authentic and real as one is. This results in lower back pain,infections in the bladder or kidneys,poor boundary setting, being aggressive and over sensitive.

iii) Solar Plexus Chakra- Feeling a lack of confidence and low self-esteem,excessive need of approval from others in what is bothering you? The Solar Plexus chakra is blocked. When this chakra is blocked,a person faces lack of finances and heightened anxiety revolves around lack of resources.

iv) Heart Chakra- Blockages in this chakra creates an enhanced level of being self critical and feeling betrayed. A deep difficulting in expressing emotions due to feeling of unworthiness ot receiving love.

v) Throat Chakra- When this chakra is imbalanced, fears around creative expressions and unexpressed emotions and feelings arise. Thyroid issues are pertinent and a sense of choking with a lump in throat is sensed due to unspoken words.

vi) Third Eye Chakra and Crown Chakra- Phobias of not being able to trust the gut and intuition is a sign of a blocked third eye and crown chakra. Blockages in receiving spiritual guidance are faced.

Our human body consists of 40 trillion sentient cells and when the soul undergoes a spiritual awakening, there is an upward ascension in the consciousness that causes these 40 trillion cells to vibrate at a much faster pace than before. So why does the vibration amplify? The increase of energy is caused to flush out the stagnant and old energies that no longer serves the soul. All the old energies,past unhealed traumas, old belief systems purge out of the cells through intense vibrations that causes high restlessness.
