Fear the Stumbling Block

I have seen myself and others stuck in fear. It manifests in pain, sadness, addiction, victim beliefs, accusing, violence, and ill health, just to name a few of the negative results.
How do we free ourselves?
I have found to awaken to the fear behind the manifestation is the first step, but, there must be one following on the tail of consciousness, or I will jump back to the manifestation. For me, the next step is to trust something is there holding my hand, keeping me safe. I have found a spiritual belief is the only way free of fear.
Spiritual because that is what we are, spiritual beings having a human experience. It does not matter what form of spirituality one takes, as long as one allows that form to take charge. Then, we can relax and enjoy the ride. Then we are free to experience, and even allow all others to experience living.
