Week 3 - Conscious Fear

Written By Sybille Biedert

This week is about growing your capacity for creation. This is directly connected to your relationship with your fear and your capacity to feel it in your body. Being able to communicate your inner world will create the intimacy you long for. (Into me you see)

Below is this week’s content for you to practice over the next 7 days:

  • 15-minute Context Setting - start here

  • Voice Activation Practice - have a voice - let it be heard

  • 45-minute Movement Recording - Unfurl your aliveness -
    Embody your conscious and unconscious fear
    I had so much fun recording it & letting myself be touched
    I recommend you move 2-3 times per week

  • Practice for this week: (Extra fear practises below).
    Every day, first thing when you wake up, write down all your fears.
    Every sentence starts with I feel fear because..
    No filtering, or self judging, let all your fears come onto the paper…
    On Saturday we will go through all of those fear and discover more about them.

  • Extra Practice for this week:
    I feel fear to connect with you because ….
    Pair up either with someone in our group or with someone you trust. Then set up a clear space, go for 2 minutes each, each sentence starts I feel fear to connect with you because…
    Discover your fears of connection.

  • Practise asking:

    This week challenge yourself to ask a friend or family member one of the following questions form the InFire card set. This will empower you to bring your courage into day to day interactions.
    1. What part of your emotional world do you keep hidden so others won’t leave you?
    2. What part of yourself do you hate but wish someone would love?
    3. What are you letting go of right now in your life?

Unfurl your aliveness-
Embody your conscious and unconscious fear last part of recording 20 min.
1.15 - minutes Movement Recording

  • This recording is not background music, this session is carefully crafted for you to feel and empower you, if you use your power to choose by bringing your full attention.

  • Declare a physical space where you won’t be interrupted and can move freely.

  • Declare a sacred space and commit fully to the session.

  • Use a great sound system or high-quality headphones for the best experience.

Extra practises for engaging with fear

  • 1. Lower Your “Numbness Bar”

    Many people unconsciously dull their sensitivity to avoid discomfort.
    Start by gently allowing yourself to notice small levels of fear (3%, 6%, 10%).
    This builds awareness without overwhelm.

    Explore daily how you numb yourself, by noticing your lower levels of fear.


  • Instead of resisting fear, invite it in.

    • Try: “Hello Fear. What do you have for me?”

    • Listen without judgment

    • Write down what arises

    Example prompts:

    • What exactly am I afraid of?

    • Is it physical discomfort?

    • Loss of control?

    • Being judged or seen as weak?

    • Separation or isolation?

    This turns fear into useful information instead of noise.

  • Fear is one of the four core emotions (alongside anger, sadness, and joy).
    It isn’t “bad” -  it’s energy and information.

    Fear empowers you to:

    • Notice what needs attention

    • Scan where your attention is 

    • Create from not knowing

    • Stay alert

    • Recognize risk

    • Protect yourself in uncertain situations

  • Fear isn’t just a thought -  it lives in the body, in all your nerves and your whole nervous system. 

    Common signals of clapping fear:

    • Tight chest

    • Quickened reactions

    • Wide eyes

    • Sudden tension or urge to react

    With practice, you can:

    • Notice these sensations early

    • Adjust their intensity (from 0% to 100%)

    • Relax into it some more

    • Stay present instead of overwhelmed which means mixing your fear with other feelings, sadness or anger. 

  • There’s a difference between:

    • Reactive fear (automatic, emotional)

    • Conscious fear (aware, informative)

    When fear is conscious, you can use it to:

    • Stay alert and awake

    • Navigate the unknown

    • Be fully present

    • Create and take action

    • Track multiple things at once

    • Notice what’s missing or off

    We will discover more of that when we meet on Saturday with your long list of all your fears.
