Click: Fearlessness is the courage to face fear.

About the topic: The biggest fear human beings have is the fear of losing their identity. Fear of losing physical health, mental stability, wealth, name, fame and fear of dark are the different modes of fear. The social fear or fear of being rejected by society make us do things even when it not good for us. Fear of darkness is the fear of the unknown, connecting with the darkness will remove the fear. If we allow the child to accept the fear and explore the darkness that is causing him fear; the child will go through the darkness and live the fear completely. The fear will automatically drop from his mind because his own experience would have shown him that the fear has no solid existence. Fearlessness is the courage to face fear. We cannot conquer fear. Fearlessness means intelligence to live the intense fear without directing it towards any object. Fear is powerful energy which gives a deep relaxation, self centeredness. The fear centre is the rejuvenation center. Fear does not exist when things are definite and known. Fear is not good or bad, it's a form of energy inside us. We experience fear because we get disconnected from who we are. When you are faced with fear, don't try to resist it or suppress it. You can't ignore fear. Don't clutch in fear, don't get connected with fear. Just look at the fear, note the fear and accept it. Acceptance of the fear dissolves the fear. The moment you accept the fear, suddenly you see the fear disappears it loses the power to frighten you. When fear strokes happens just live it. That is the only way. A very powerful way of overcoming fear is to visualize going through that fear as clearly as you can. If we force the children to face fear it will be deeply engraved in them. The first is fear of losing our wealth, our comfort, name, fame, prestige and other outer world things. The second is the fear of losing our health and parts of our body through some accident or disease. The fears concerned with our physical health. The third is the fear of losing our mental health, our stability. The fourth is the fear of losing our loved ones.

The fifth is the fear of the unknown, fear of ghost. Understand fear and love can never co-exist. We look for security in every relationship. Prestige also gives rise to fear, prestige, name and fame, social status - all these give rise to fear. These fears are nothing but fear of hurting your own ego. Even fears like fear of public speaking are fear of losing one's prestige in a way. Fear in a passive form of guarding your fear of darkness is also fear of unknown. Drop your fears about your property. Everything belongs to existence. You are in temporary possession of it, that's all. If you relax into this understanding, it is enough. We always want to look good, always concerned what others will think - this is called identity fear. Accept the fear. 50% of your problem is solved. Always have the confidence cosmos will take care of us.

Materials needed: Plain sheet or Fear chakra , sketch pen or pencil, poster colors

Procedure: Give each child plain sheet and ask them to draw the fear chakra or give them the chakra picture and ask them to color with poster colors.

Swadishtana – Fear Swadhishtana means 'Where your Being is established' – from swa which means 'Self' and adhishtana which means 'established'. This chakra is locked by fear, especially the fear of death and it can be made to flower by acceptance of fear; acceptance of Death itself. All our fears are actually a fear of death but under various disguises, that's all. Every single fear of ours is related to the fear of death, but in a convoluted way. Because it is convoluted, we don't see it as fear of death. Without fear, the word death itself loses the meaning that we have been associating with it.

Materials needed: Straws, different poster colors, any picture

Procedure: Give each child a straw & ask them blow the paint using the straw on the picture. The children are asked observe the flow of paint when they blow.

Interpretation: Connect to the fact that when we have the right understanding we can overcome fear, we can blow away the fear.
