Do not try to resist the fear, as tough as that may be. You have to let it pass through you, you have to be with it. That is the only way. Fear is just that, fear. See the fear for what it is, observe it. Allow yourself to feel the fear, and see that it is not fear that is the problem, but you resisting the fear that causes the problem. Your emotions cannot kill you.

When you look at fear subjectively, reacting to it, anxiety happens.
When you look at fear objectively, non-judgemental, insight and awareness happens.
