Dr. Christine Northrup Talks About Fear
We are born with only 2 fears -- the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises (your "acousic reflex"). Despite having only these 2
fears, studies show the documented number of human fears is closer to 7,000. I am not surprised by this number. Fear is an adaptive behavior.
Too much fear or anxiety on a regular basis can be the root cause of illness, both psychological and physical. This is true because the biochemical state that fear creates in your body adversely affects your
immunity and increases your susceptibility to viruses and bacteria that are all around you. For example, most people have the bacterium that causes pneumonia in their resipratory system at all times, but it stays in check until your vibration is lowered in some way. This is why, over time, the hormones associated with fear and anxiety can wreak havoc on your body, mind and spirit.
