Curious Cat
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

Conquering (or at least counterbalancing) the Fear of Death

Today’s episode is the second part of our ongoing conversation about obstacles that impede our spiritual journey. Don’t panic if you’ve jumped into the series midway. You were supposed to hear this first, apparently! Today we’ll talk about the fear of death. It can smother our day to day existence. If you’re able to cut those tethers, or at least make peace with death, you’ll be free to channel that energy elsewhere.
The fear of death impedes our spiritual growth, it arrests us, handcuffing us to those base levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In order to explore your connection to something more, you must feel safe, which takes cutting the tethers of fear. And because death related anxiety is prevalent in western civilization, I figured it was a good one to tackle together. The lessons are applicable to any overarching worry you have.
